ARBE4308 – Cost Planning & Estimating

WHAT DO I NEED TO SEE IN YOUR ASSESSMENT 2?

Students should submit a single pdf which can be opened and read with Adobe Acrobat Reader. The single pdf should be named Last Name_Student number.pdf e.g. BEARD_1234567.pdf

The single pdf should contain the following information in the following order:

A cover page, at a minimum outlining the course name, assignment number, student name, student number and date, followed by;

The ten nominated items needing to be priced from first principles (based on direct labour costs, labour constants, material, plant, labour, any subcontract component, safety, environmental, overheads and margin) indicating all workings and cost sources. All of the unit rate build ups (workings) must be provided. The ten items will be marked in the BOQ provided and will be as follows:

Groundworks - Two items identified in the BOQ provided Concrete - Two items identified in the BOQ provided Formwork - Two items identified in the BOQ provided Reinforcement - Two items identified in the BOQ provided Masonry - Two items identified in the BOQ provided

There are material quotes to be compared and used for the ten items nominated in the BOQ to be built up from base principles (i.e. L,M,P & S/C). The Quote comparison pages should be included in the submission document and labelled appropriately e.g. a comparison of brick supply quotes should be labelled Masonry Comparison, etc.

All workings must be shown. Submissions that do not provide the workings will be at the risk of not passing.

Important information

The orientation of all pages (unless noted otherwise) in the single pdf must be upright and readable on the screen without being turned (i.e. not upside down or sideways). Failure to provide the correct presentation will incur penalties and be at the risk of not passing.

File submission is via the Assessment area on Canvas and is the responsibility of the student, unreadable files cannot be marked and zero marks will be awarded. The ability for multiple file uploads will be provided on Canvas to enable students to ensure files are readable. Emailed submissions will most definitely NOT BE ACCEPTED.
