What are the two models of cost predictions a design professional can use and how do they differ?

What will be an ideal response?


The two methods are the traditional method and refined methods. The
traditional method usually involves the design professional’s using rough
rules of thumb based on projected square or cubic footage, modulated to
some degree by a skillful design professional’s sense of the types of design
choices a particular client will make. The other model is likely to be used by
sophisticated clients who are aware of the difficulties design professionals
have using the traditional method. These clients are likely to engage
someone who can more accurately predict costs as the design evolves.

A) Sulfur stimulates the formation of gypsum in the soil. B) Sulfur helps maintain high salt content while reducing exchangeable Na+ levels. C) Sulfur is oxidized and forms sulfuric acid which, in turn, removes the exchangeable Na+. D) Sulfur leaches down into the soil and increases the soil pH. E) Sulfur is oxidized to sulfates that will precipitate much of the exchangeable Na+.
