Construction Project Manager’s Pocket Book’ – An exclusive guide book for Project Managers, Construction Managers & Quantity Surveyors

Duncan Cartlidge, a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors as well as an Associate Lecturer at Glasgow Caledonian University , has written an exclusive book alias ‘Construction Project Manager’s Pocket Book’. It is a sententious reference book improves the basic knowledge of a project manager to a great extent.

In order to deal with a construction project, the project manager should have the required skills which range from technical know-how to leadership, negotiation, team building and communication.

This essential guide book will cover the following points :-

• Pre-construction activities

• Design management and BIM

• Procurement

• Feasibility studies

• Environmental management systems

• People skills

• Recommended document formats

• Occupancy activities

Construction Project Manager’s Pocket Book focuses on the standard activities undertaken by the project manager to make a real project successful.

By going through the book, the readers will be familiar with the RIBA Plan of Work and OGC Gateway process together with how BIM make sea change in the liabilities and obligations of the project managers.

The book consists of the standard models and pro-formulas which will simplify the work processes of project manager, construction manager and quantity surveyor.

Exterior Siding Cost Estimating Takeoffs

Takeoff cost estimating software helps cost estimators collect and synchronize Multiformat design data and high-quality images, providing comprehensive support and enabling a smoother design-to-cost workflow. Use cost estimating Takeoff to leverage property data to automatically or manually measure, count, and price various building objects.

Cost Estimating provides a comprehensive set of takeoff tools for use with 3D DWF models, 2D DWF sheets, DWG sheets, PDF files, and image files (TIFs, GIFs, and JPGs). The type of document you select on the Documents palette determines the automatic and manual takeoff tools that are available.

Jason Pratt explains how you can do Exterior Siding takeoffs-

Cost Estimating Takeoff Tools with 3D DWF models and 2D DWF sheets. These tools use the design data embedded in the DWF files by publishing applications to create takeoff data. These tools are:-

Model Takeoff: This tool, which can be used only with 3D DWF files, extracts the object tree from the model and adds it to the Takeoff palette. The items that are created by the Model Takeoff tool are placed in a takeoff group whose name is based on the model name. 

Search Takeoff: This tool, which can be used with 3D models and 2D sheets, creates takeoff data for multiple items based on search criteria you define. Using the tool, you select a piece of geometry on a sheet and specify search criteria based on the object’s design data. 

Single-Click Auto Takeoff: This tool, which can be used with 3D models and 2D sheets, lets you create a takeoff measurement with a single click on a piece of geometry.
