Read the direct and indirect cost sidebar under chapter 5. Conduct research about the topic. Write one page about the elements/items of the direct and indirect costs. Then, use your knowledge from chapters 5 AND 6 to prepare a preliminary estimate. This estimate is happening early in the conceptual and schematic design and no plans or specifications are available for you yet. You need to conduct research about what items you can add to your cost estimate for your specific project. Create a table of direct and indirect costs for a project you are interested in working on. It can be a residential, commercial, or industrial project. It can be a project that you worked on in the past or are currently working on. Conduct research about what items can be added to your list so you can prepare a cost estimate for your project. Divide the analysis into direct and indirect costs and then for each one of them adds major items and any sub-items under each item that will help in calculating the cost. Using all the major items, you are required to calculate the total cost of the direct and indirect costs for the project. Using all the major items, you are required to calculate the total cost of the project. Your table should include at least the item/ division name, unit, unit cost, and total cost.
You need to identify the size of the project as well as the type and location of the project. Since this is a hypothetical project, you can use Google to search the cost of each item you are using and have a rough estimate.
I’ve attached the file for chapter 5 info but ch6 won’t load so I’m going to try to send it to you through chat if I can.
