The following quantities can be extracted from the model.



The foundations are found under walls. Wood framed walls must be filtered out and the walls sorted by width. The 8-inch walls represent the foundation wall and the 2-foot walls represent the footings. The footings must be taken off as follows:



Length of perimeter footing = 73?4?? + 47?4?? + 73?4?? + 47?4?? = 241?4??



Volume of perimeter footing = 241?4?? × 1? × 2? = 483 ft3 = 17.88 yd3



Length of interior footings = 70?8?? + 70?8?? = 141?4??



Volume of interior footings = 141?4?? × 8?? × 2? = 188 ft3 = 6.98 yd3



Concrete volume = 17.88 yd3 + 6.98 yd3 = 24.86 yd3



You need 483 feet (241?4?? × 2) of 12-inch-high forms and 283 feet (141?4?? × 2) of 8-inch-high forms.



Horizontal #4 rebar = 3 × (241?4?? + 141?4??) = 1,148? × 1.1 = 1,263?



Dowels length (assume 2?? cover) = 10?? + 10?? + 18?? = 38??



Number of #4 dowels = 241?4?? / 16?? = 181 + 1 = 182



#4 rebar for dowels = 182 × 38?? = 576?



Anchor bolts = 141?4?? / 16?? =106 + 1 = 107



The foundation is taken off as follows:



Length of foundation = 72? + 48?8?? + 72? + 48?8?? = 241?4??



Concrete volume = 241?4?? × 8?? × 1?8?? = 268 ft3 = 9.93 cy3



Forms = 241?4?? × 1?8?? × 2 sides = 805 sfca



Horizontal #4 rebar = 241?4?? × 3 = 724 ? × 1.1 = 796?



Slab dowels = 241?4?? / 16?? = 181 + 1 = 182



#4 rebar for slab dowels = 182 × 32?? = 486?



Anchor bolts = 241?4?? / 16?? = 181 + 1 = 182



#4 rebar = 1,263? + 576? + 796? + 486? = 3,121? × 0.668 pounds per lf = 2,085 pounds



Concrete slab = 72? × 50? × 4?? = 1,200 ft3 = 44.44 yd3



Sample pricing is found in Real Estate Office.xlsm on the instructor’s website and will vary based on the assumptions made by the estimator.
