Estimating & Specifications

PROFESSORS: PATRICK REDKO $-$ ROBERT ROY

Assignment:

A$1*-$ Stripping & Excavation

Due $-$ week $3($see $Bb$ for due date$/$time$)$

Instructions:

Each student is to individually complete manual

calculations. Include all manual calculations$/$sketches

$($images saved as PNG$).$ Use filename:

AEC$202-$ A$1-$ calculation $-$ student name $-$

page$1.$png $($each student to submit$)$

As a group, setup one Excel spreadsheet with new tab

$00$#$-$G#$-$A$1($where # is replaced by section and your group

no$.)$ Save file to include

AEC$202-00$# $-$G# $-$ A# $-$ Student last

names.xlsx

Each week take turns to summarize your individual findings

into the Excel spreadsheet. One summary only each week.

Summary based on handout Instructions for Assignments.

Highlight Excel page and print to fit one page $-$ Print to

Microsoft to PDF

NOTE: Groups to compile one submission as follows:

Excel File with estimate summary

Pdf version of estimate summary

student submissions png or pdf

NOTE: If you need to submit again $-$ ALL items must be

included in the submission $-$ last submission will ONLY be

marked. Items that were previously submitted will NOT be

marked.

NOTE: All rough work should be posed. A photo of your

work is acceptable.

NOTE: Save file to your Shared Group Drive. Each

assignment will use the existing file and include previous

Excel summary sheets. Work will not be marked from

Group drive $-$ it is for student use only.

${?}^{******}$ NOTE: Plagiarism of any kind will NOT be accepted.

NO LATE SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED as per

industry standards in Estimating and Tendering.

Estimate Information:

Using the House Plans provided and given that:

Dimension B $($from lecture notes$)$ between outside of

footing and bottom of the excavation slope is $12".$

Soil slope for the house and garage excavations is $2$:$1.$

Topsoil on the side is assumed to be $8^{\text{'}\text{'}}$ thick.

One dump truck carries $12y{d}^3$ of topsoil.

Topsoil to be stripped and stockpiled on site for later use.

New material will be brought in for backfilling around the

foundation to use compaction faction $1\mathrm{.}4$

Excavated materials that need to be trucked away will use

a compaction factor of $1\mathrm{.}2$

Topsoil required around the building's perimeter will use a

compaction factor of $1\mathrm{.}3$

Calculate the following:

PERIMETER AND AREA: Determine the perimeter and

area of the building including the garage. Use outside wall

dimensions$).$

STRIPPED AND STOCKPILED: Determine cubic yards of

topsoil to be stripped and stockpiled. $($Topsoil must be

removed to allow construction of the house, sidewalks, and

driveway.$)$

EXCAVATED SOIL: Determine cubic yards of soil

excavated for the foundation and basement construction.

Don't forget the swell factor.

TRUCKLOADS: Determine the number of truckloads

required to remove the soil excavated for foundation and

basement construction.

BACKFILL: Determine the cubic yards of new backilling

that would be required to be brought to the site around the

perimeter of the building.

TRUCKLOADS: Determine the number of trucks of new

topsoil required.

$*$REVISED $2024.$MAY. $06$

Professionalism:

Students should be able to demonstrate a

professional attitude and behavior toward their

work, their fellow students, and their instructor.

Reliability, respect for and cooperation with

colleagues, willingness to work calmly, and
