gfa is gross floor area. it give u an indication base on project completed in the past. so u can figure it out the price. usually developer estimate cost backward. NFA stand for what?
plywood then hardwood support below. u mean this hardwood right? hardwood is because this wood can stand the load and won't break even it bent a lot due to heavy loan. concrete grade nothing to do. there are certain spacing to be comply. anyway nowadays is system formwork era. most architect insist to use system formwork.
shear wall is generally deeper when u cast the concrete. it's poor vibration especially bottom part where concrete can't reach perfectly. also rebar congestion make it difficult to vibrate the bottom of shear wall. rectification is depend the severity of the hollow / honeycomb it have. hack the hollow part then put the formwork and pour non-shrink grout is the general solution. but consulting engineer will tell u if they want other solution if the case is serious. they might want u to hack entire shear wall and redo.
gbi got score index. depend how many point u wanna achieve. and how u get those point from
iwubpreveNFA = Net Floor Area
Thanks on the info
When you say concrete can't reach perfectly, who to blame? Design = Engineer OR concrete = Supplier OR Construction = PM?
May I know what is the difference between cost estimate and cost plan? Cos I often hear these terms. They say these two and BQ, all three are not the same. I am very confused.
Who is fully responsible in producing BIM? Architect? Designer? 3D Visualizer?
How to use 'Cost Plus'? And which Cost Plus is frequently used?
If let say client direct deal with a vendor, we as the main-con we charge them for coordination and planning, can I put this under 'cost plus' and charge them at 5%? Is 5% the maximum for cost plus?
Any other scenario when the cost plus takes place?
