 | I have an old house that I have to tear down to the floor.
The land has been rezoned commercial.
The land lot is 50 x 200.
The house is 95 long x 35 wide x 25 high. {35 ft facing street}
I plan to tear off the roof, tear down the walls, and keep the floor.
Then I will build a concrete block shell around the floor.
The resulting building will be a large empty space that I will use a television studio.
My questions are the following.
1. How much to build the concrete shell? {starting from the dirt around the house?}
2. How much for a flat, single side tilt membrance roof?
3. What are the major insulation issues and solutions?
4. Would this be difficult to construct?
5. Is there a simpler, cheaper way to open up the internal space of the house AND achieve a commercial exterior. {the internal walls ARE load bearing}
Please save your responses to helpful information.
I detailed the location of the job because I am still looking for a contractor.
The one builder that viewed the location suggested I proceed along the path that I am taking.

| This is not my normal job and I'm struggling with a set of commercial concrete floor plans trying to get some info. to my estimator who's away on vacation.
Question: Does anyone know what type of steel reinforcement is being required with the following?: WWF 6X6-W1.4xW1.4
I think its wire mesh?...but I'm not sure about the gauge?
Secondly, regarding rebar placement what exactly does the symbol #4@18" E.W. mean? I know their talking about 1/2" rebar, but I'm use to seeing the symbol O.C. for "on center," and I'm not sure about the symbol E.W.?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

 | I need to estimate the cost of an industrial building. The building is 15,070 ft^2. It has a concrete slab floor and 10?f the building is office space. It is built with "I" beam supports. The roof is about 150 feet high flat roof. The exterior is really thick serrated sheet metal. There are 4 roll up doors. and 4 normal sized doors.
I am not a professional estimator. My boss just wants a budgetary estimate for planning. I have a book called RSmeans Cost Estimating, but I don't have the right one for this job.
Does anyone have a cost estimate for this building. Any idea were I can find information to help.

| 1) Dirt Work
A) If 2,500 bank cu yds. (in-place at natural density), of loamy sand mixed with clay, has to be exported from the site, how many cubic yards would have to be hauled away by truck? …Refer to the dirt tables in the book…..
B) If 10 cu yd trucks will be used to haul this material away, how many loads would be required?
C) If you needed this activity performed in a 10 hour work day, how many trucks would be needed to perform this task………(Assume a 5 minute truck-line wait time for fill up; 10 minutes to load up truck with dirt, and a 45 minute round trip on each 10 cu yds, also refueling and break time)
2) More Dirt work
A) If 750 cu yards (in-place), of sand/gravel is needed to import, how much cubic yardage would be required?
B) If the same 10 cu yd truck is used, how many trucks loads of imported sand and gravel do you need?
3) Excavations
A) What is the volume of an excavation where the length of the needed cut is 88.8 m, the width is 26.7 m, and the depth is 9 m?
B) How many 15 cu yd dump “truck/days” will it take to haul off this load?...(Assume a swell of 17?nd each truck can take 5 net loads in one work day)
Watch your units.
4) Concrete steel
A) How is rebar taken off?
B) In what unit of measure are large quantities ordered?
C) How does lap affect the rebar quantities?
5). More steel
A) How is wire mesh taken off?
B) How is it ordered?
6) Why must the estimator consider how the concrete will be transported to the job site?
