Five Common-Sense Rules of Successful
Estimating
1. A
good construction estimating project must start with a complete understanding of scope of work
followed by an accurate quantity takeoff.
It's all too easy to miss out identifying items of work in the project.
This may be due to absolutely mundane reasons such as missing drawings,
details or specs. It could be due to a misinterpretation of the scope
based on an ambiguous statement or comment. Or, it could be due to a more
serious reason such as lack of experience in conceptualizing the work to
be performed in the field.
2. Understand your resources and their cost to you – material suppliers,
labor force, subcontractors, construction equipment, indirect costs,
management.
Easier said than done, this requires a thorough analysis of costs. A cost
engineer may very well team up with the comptroller, accountant, field
superintendent, project manager, purchasing manager. Even outside labor
consultants may be hired to reach cost data to be incorporated in
estimates. Remember, such data is not static, but changing in time and
periodic review and update is a must.
3. Evaluate your strength and weakness and establish comparative
advantage

Moisture in your bathroom is an everyday occurrence, but controlling
it around your shower, bath tub, and sink is mandatory.
by Denton Lesslie
The shower is the major source of water
in your bathroom. The shower head is the normal first line of thought.
You should also consider the steam from taking a shower should also be
considered. The steam causes the dampness to linger long after you are
out of your bath.
The first thing that you can do is
install a fan to exhaust some of the steam out. Usually directly over
the shower stall is best, but some bathroom architecture does not allow
for that. Close to the stall will work almost as well. A good check is
watch the steam as someone is taking a shower to see the best place to
place the fan.
Another precaution to take is if there
are any cracks in the showers surround. There usually nothing wrong with
the structure. Just the structure contracting and expanding with the
season. Just fill them in with some caulk. Paint the surround with some
waterproof paint or sealant.
Check for similar cracks around your
sink and toilet. Make sure that you check the subflooring around the
drain. If you can get under the subfloor and look at the underside of
the subflooring to see if there is any evidence of water drainage. This
is a common problem around the toilet when the wax ring fails.
The biggest thing to pay attention to
is if there is any water of any kind is getting to any wood. Check if
there is any wood rot from prolonged exposure and fix it. After that
stop any water getting to bare, unprotected wood.
