Q 1) Exercise 1 (3 points)
Over 7 years ago your company built a restaurant in New London, Connecticut. It was completed
in 2016 with a total cost of $4,940,000. You were awarded a contract for a similar restaurant.
(Almost same design) that you are building this year (2023) in Daytona Beach, Florida. a) What is the estimated cost of the restaurant? b) If in 2020 you had built a similar restaurant in Decatur, Illinois, what would have been the
cost of it?
Solution
: -
a)
DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA.
1)
Time adjustment using the Historical Cost Indexes
INDEX New London, Connecticut: - 207.3
INDEX Daytona Beach, Florida: - 318.8
Cost in Year A = Cost in Year B X Index A
Index B
I assumed the basic cost of restaurant of New London, Connecticut 2016 $4940000
= 4940000 = x X 207.3
318.8
= $7597067.035
2)
Location adjustment using the City Cost Indexes:
City A Cost (Unknown) = City B Cost (Known) X City A Index
City B Index
= x = 7597067.035 X 87.9
101.4
= $6585623.21

b) DECATUR, ILLINOIS
1)
Time adjustment using the Historical Cost Indexes
INDEX New London, Connecticut: - 207.3
INDEX Decatur, Illinois: - 234.6
Cost in Year A = Cost in Year B X Index A
Index B
= 4940000 = x X 207.3
234.6
= $5590564.399
2)
Location adjustment using the City Cost Indexes:
City A Cost (Unknown) = City B Cost (Known) X City A Index
City B Index
= x =5590564.399 X 101.2

QUALITY MANAGEMENT TOOLS
12th September 2024
QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN - INDUSTRIAL GARAGE
For the Industrial Garage Case Study (week 2) - prepare a high level quality management plan
outlining three key (for each component):
•
Quality Planning tools;
•
Quality Assurance tools; and
•
Quality Control tools
Try to keep cost/benefit considerations in mind when selecting your methods.
Note: Your plan is to address ONLY the construction phase through to project commissioning.

Q5/ The structural engineering design section within the engineering
department of a regional electrical utility corporation has developed
several standard designs for a group of similar transmission line towers.
The detailed design for each tower is based on one of the standard designs.
A transmission line project involving 50 towers has been approved. The
estimated number of engineering hours needed to accomplish the first
detailed tower design is 126. Assuming a 95% learning curve,
a. What is your estimate of the number of engineering hours needed to
design the eighth tower and to design the last tower in the project?
b. What is your estimate of the cumulative average hours required for the
first five designs?

SITUATION 2: You are within two weeks of
turnover of a three-story build-to-suit office
building project. Many of the city inspections
are complete and it appears that a certificate
of occupancy (C of O) will be obtained on
time. Only the fire protection, elevator, and
life safety inspections remain. The
mechanical, electrical, fire protection and life
safety were all design-build systems. During
the punch list, it is discovered that the fire
protection subcontractor has installed a
different type of sprinkler head on each floor.
The first floor uses concealed heads with
white escutcheons to match the ceiling tiles.
The second floor uses decorative chrome
heads. The subcontractor installed
semi-recessed heads on the third floor. This
was not picked up prior as a person cannot
physically see more than one floor at a time.
The client is very upset.

subcontractor to change them all out now?

Building permit application and project management is a tedious task
just like any other requirements in this program. How are you going to
motivate yourself and your team (Say you are the manager/leader of a
team of civil engineering students) through tough times so that your
project operations will still perform according to the standards or
requirement? How are you going to provide a superior project strategy
with that given team of civil engineering students?
