Problem $1$

Using Figure $1$:

Prepare a steel and steel joist material list for the roof framing plan.

a$.$ Determine the weight of joists

b$.$ Determine the weight of beams

c$.$ Determine the weight of columns. The columns are $15$ feet high and weigh $58$ pounds per foot.

Using RS Means, determine the total material cost to purchase the steel joists. Make sure to include the line item you used.

Determine the amount of metal deck that needs to be purchased to construct the roof. Add $15\%$ for waste and lapping.

Using RS Means, determine the total cost $($O&P$)$ to install the metal deck for the floor. Assume a $2-$in $18-$gauge galvanized metal deck. Make sure to include the line item you used.
