My name is Scott and I am not a typical demo contractor. Most of my work is in general excavation. I have received a solicitation for a demo project but I have no idea of how to estimate the amount of material to be disposed of. The building is a hotel style, 50 room, 2 story, cinder block constructed, flat roofed building. doe anyone know a method to estimate this building? I have devised my own method but I am sure that there are many tried and tru methods that all you experts have used for a while. I would purchase estimating software but I have no time as the bid is due on Tuesday. If anone could help me out I would sure appreciate it. You can reply to this post or e-mail me at scott@prosouthexcavation.com . Thanks for the help.
does anyone know if these are found in metric readings also? i really hate to look for these figures from books, when usually doing the estimations on computer.
scott:
some estimations i do by "experience", but most i calculate the weight/amount of waste produced and how fast i can produce it and what it will cost to take a way.
be carefull! you can do some really serious damage to your economy if you are not carefull! remember to write the papers well and look for asbestos & stuff like that!
