Brief demonstration of drywall estimating template in excel

This construction video tutorial provides the demonstration of user-friendly and spreadsheet based drywall estimating software.

It becomes difficult for the contractors to estimate and finish takeoff from drywall works. But this video shows how to make the process simple. In a drywall estimating process, the following steps should be included :-

Workout the Square Footage

Estimate Drywall Boards

Estimate Drywall Tape

Estimate Joint Compound

Estimate Drywall Screws

Estimate Corner Beads

Estimate Drywall Miscellaneous

Estimate Other Components

To learn the complete process, watch the following video tutorial.

How to design a beam in excel with coefficient method

This construction video tutorial sifts through the process for evaluating engineering drawing easily.

This construction video tutorial provides detailed guidelines on how to use excel based spreadsheet to design a beam. Here coefficient method is applied for designing purpose.

The calculation is made on the basis of the following drawings :-

a. Typical floor plan
b. Ground floor plan
c. Column Layout
d. Beam Column Layout

The coefficient method refers to a rapid hand-system that can be used for computing the moments in two-way slabs supported with edge beams. This method was initially contained in the 1963 edition of the ACI code as a method for creating design of two-way slabs which are supported on all four sides through walls, steel beams, or deep beams. The most recent version of the ACI code 318 does not contain the coefficient method but you can apply it for two slab systems with edge beams.

This method employs tables of moment coefficients for different types of slab edge conditions. The coefficients are dependent on elastic analysis but also comprises of considerations for inelastic moment redistribution.
