A. direct job expenses B. fuel costs C. overhead

The entire process of planning an estimate requires the estimator to have as much ? as possible about the final building and the steps required to reach the completed project. (Select all that apply.)

a. clarity b. detail

The primary part(s) of a takeoff are ? . (Select all that apply.)

a. the things that are counted b. the things that are measured

Which of the following is/are a way to classify a construction project and should be considered when preparing a project estimate?

c. Both a. and b.

The type of project does not matter when creating an estimate

False

A standardized takeoff process makes it easy for? to look at a project.

E. a., b., and c.

Estimate the amount of non-metallic sheathed cable that will be required for circuit 14(RP-B) (excluding the amount required for the home run at the specified box).Use the vertical dimensions below to aid in your estimate:Box to ceiling space: 86"Horizontal Distance from the center of the wall to the location that the cable passes through the ceiling joists: 6"Box to horizontal holes in stud: 18" (Although the question allows for some tolerance, it is important to be as accurate as possible because even minor errors when carried across the entire project will be impactful on the final bid.)

Drag and drop the parts needed to create the assembly (the part shown on the print) that can be used to estimate all similar symbols. (Note that wire connectors are not needed inside the fixtures as the fixtures come with quick connect connection points pre-installed (id:140756)

what are the two major groupings for construction material on a takeoff?

B. Commodities D. Systems or Packages

the accuracy of a takeoff is not a critical part of the success of a construction project

B. False

The two major parts of a takeoff are ? and ? . (Choose two.)

B. counting C. measuring

The project contract often includes line items describing the extent of each trade's responsibility, or ? .

D. scope of work

A(n) ? is the process of enumerating a project's component parts so that required material can be aggregated into a total amount of material and a total cost.

D. takeoff

Drag and drop the expenses into the appropriate category. (id:DL02025)
