As you and others design a building project, you can track various elements in your project. Information includes gross area, height of each story, and gross area of each slab. This information is useful for developing a building costs schedule. You can view the total of certain columns using the Building Estimator. You can also view the subtotal of specific cells within a column by selecting them. You can use the Building Estimator data to obtain the data necessary to do quantity takeoffs and building cost estimates. The Building Estimator can also provide the Floor Area Ratio (FAR). Use the FAR data to check if the projected building meets the FAR zoning requirements for the city or town. | |||||||
