Theory to the Diploma in Architecture

Quantity Surveyor needed for detailed analysis of a construction project We are looking for a specialist to thoroughly analyze the project documentation of a construction site and prepare a detailed list of all materials, volumes, and types of work.Main Task Based on the project documentation, a complete quantity take-off of the project must be performed, and a transparent table of all construction materials and volumes must be prepared. The initial data may include: architectural drawings — AR; structural drawings — KJ / KM; specifications; PDF; DWG; Excel files; if available — BIM/Revit model. We need not just a general construction estimate, but a maximum detailed Quantity Take-Off and Material Breakdown.What needs to be done 1. Complete Quantity Take-Off Calculate the actual volumes according to the project: concrete by grades and structural elements; reinforcement broken down by diameters; metal structures; formwork; blocks and bricks; cement; sand; gravel; plaster; floor screed; waterproofing; roofing materials; facade materials; tiles and stone; ceiling materials; door and window structures; glass; wood; paint; fasteners; consumables; other materials present in the project. The list should be formed as detailed as possible, without combining different materials into general positions. For example: Reinforcement Ø8 — kg Reinforcement Ø10 — kg Reinforcement Ø12 — kg Reinforcement Ø16 — kg Concrete B25 — m³ Concrete B30 — m³ AAC Block 100 mm — m² / pcs. AAC Block 150 mm — m² / pcs. 2. Breakdown by project sections All volumes must be structured at least by the following categories: Foundation; Structural Frame; Slabs; Walls; Roofing; Facade; Flooring; Ceilings; Doors & Windows; Waterproofing; Finishing Works; External Works; other project sections. It is also desirable to separate materials by floors, buildings, villas, blocks, or zones of the site, if the project structure allows. 3. Material Breakdown A separate table of all materials needs to be prepared in the format:SectionMaterialSpecificationUnitQuantity The goal is to obtain a complete list of materials required for the construction of the site, with actual quantities. 4. BOQ — Bill of Quantities A structured BOQ needs to be prepared separately:SectionWork ItemMaterialUnitQuantity If possible, also separate: Materials; Labor; Machinery / Equipment; Transport; Waste Allowance. The main task is to ensure the ability to see the net cost of materials separately from the contractor's work cost. 5. Excel model The final work must be provided in Excel. Desired format:CodeBuildingFloorSectionMaterialSpecificationUnitDesign QuantityWaste %Purchase QuantityUnit PriceTotal Cost Additional Task It would be an advantage if the specialist can create a template system for future projects. Our goal is to use a unified structure Cost Database for analyzing different construction sites in the future. We want to be able to compare: concrete, kg of reinforcement, and materials per 1 m² of construction; cost of structures per 1 m²; materials for one room; materials for one villa; cost of individual construction elements; planned volumes against actual purchases; potential material overruns. Requirements for the Specialist We are looking for a person with practical experience: reading architectural and structural drawings; working with AR, KJ, and KM; Quantity Take-Off; BOQ; construction estimates; analysis of construction volumes; Excel. Important We do not need just a rough estimate of the total project cost. We need a specialist who can break down the project to the level of individual physical materials and quantities. The main result of the work: A complete and verifiable list of all construction materials and volumes of the site that can be used for procurement, tenders, cost control, and checking for overruns. When responding, please indicate: Your experience working with AR, KJ, and KM. Examples of completed BOQs or Quantity Take-Offs. Which programs you work with. Can you work with PDF, DWG, and Revit. How you verify the accuracy of calculations. What format of source files you need. Your cost for the project or cost per m². (Project 1000m²)

Need a teacher with experience in online teaching who will demonstrate to a group of students how to use AutoCAD from scratch online. (Preferably - experience in the architectural field) Topics: INTRODUCTION TO AUTOCAD MAIN CONSTRUCTION TOOLS EDITING DRAWINGS LAYERS AND OBJECT PROPERTIES HATCHING AND PRESENTATION TEXT AND TABLES DIMENSIONS BLOCKS AND ATTRIBUTES EXTERNAL REFERENCES AND ORGANIZATION OF DRAWINGS PREPARING DRAWINGS FOR PRINTING PRACTICAL WORK FINAL PROJECT Conditions: 400 UAH/hour. Online, on weekdays, evening time from 18:00

Job essence: There is a sketch project of a one-story house (140 sq.m) in pdf. The wall technology (frame) has been chosen and the dimensions have been changed. The layout of non-load-bearing walls has been modified in SketchUp. The layout and concept have been approved. A professional draftsman is required to transfer the project to AutoCAD (2D) with "clean" lines from scratch, correct geometric inaccuracies, and prepare drawings for builders. Important subtask (Normalization of dimensions): The project in SketchUp was created during the creative stage, so there are inaccuracies (for example, cabinets 603 mm, openings 815 mm). The contractor needs to independently round and normalize all dimensions according to construction and furniture standards (door openings strictly according to the specifications, kitchen bases 600/450/300 mm, walls without random distortions in millimeters). What needs to be done in the First (basic) version of the project: 1. Wall layout plan without furniture (there will be a frame): taking into account the thickness of the "layers" of the walls (data will be provided). Clear dimension chains (axes, openings, piers). 2. Plan with furniture and plumbing arrangement: all furniture and plumbing must be placed on a separate layer so that they can be turned off with one button. Furniture should be tied to standard dimensions. 3. Foundation plan (top view) with embedded sewerage: executive sheet for builders. Accurate linear ties (coordinates) of the sewer pipe outlets and embedded sleeves relative to the corners of the foundation/axes. Payment and stage conditions (Important!): Stage 1 (Fixed price): Creation of a basic clean version of DWG from my source materials with normalization of dimensions (as described above). Stage 2 (Time & Material / Hourly payment): After the delivery of a quality first version, adjustments to the layout may be made according to my new requests. These corrections will be paid separately at an agreed hourly rate or for fixed packages of revisions. Please indicate two prices in your response: the cost of the First stage and your hourly rate (or the cost of one round of revisions) for the Second stage. What I provide: 1. Plan in pdf with dimensions of the house and rooms before modifications 2. Link to the SketchUp project or export of this file. 3. Thicknesses and materials of the walls. Standards for rounding (what openings are needed for doors, thickness of kitchen countertops, etc.). Technical requirements for DWG: AutoCAD version no higher than 2018/2020. Drafting strictly in "Model" at a scale of 1:1. Ideal layer hygiene: axes, walls, dimensions, furniture, text - all on strictly separate and clearly named layers. No garbage or broken blocks.

It is necessary to carry out architectural and construction solutions, which will include: 1. Replace the windows of the boiler room; 2. Foundations for equipment; 3. Floor in the boiler room: new screed, tiles; 4. Divide the boiler room into two rooms, execute the foundation and wall; 5. Finish the walls and ceiling. The building model is in Revit.

Make a project for the reconstruction of a summer house. Currently, there is a small cold house. I want to add a room. Redesign the second floor. Insulate and install heating distribution. There is gas available.
