Quantity takeoff

Quantity takeoffs (QTO) are precise estimates of the materials and labor costs required to finish a construction project. During the pre-construction phase, an estimator prepares them, breaking down the project into smaller, more manageable parts that are easier to evaluate. These measurements are used to prepare a construction scope bid. Estimators examine the drawings, specifications, and models to figure out different quantities and their costs. Since, the components, their quantity, and price are all included in the model, quantity take-off can be done automatically using Building Information Modelling (BIM). The time taken for completing a construction project can be reduced by the use of quantity takeoff. These takeoffs are also called material takeoffs and construction takeoffs.

Tina 20 Two soil specimens with identical geometric dimensions were subjected to falling head permeability tests in the laboratory under identical conditions. The fall of water head was measured after an identical time interval. The ratio of initial to final water heads for the test involving the first specimen was 1.25. If the coefficient of permeability of the second specimen in 5 times that of the first, the ratio of initial to final water heads in the test involving the second specimen is
An oedometer test is conducted for a soil sample. The sample is consolidated under vertical stress of 50 kPa. The oedometer test finished at 144 min and data are given in table I. The average thickness of the sample is 20 mm. Predict the coefficient of consolidation (cv, in mm^2/min) using Casagrande log t method and Taylor square root of t method.
