Primavera P6 Top-Down Estimation Process
Introduction to Primavera P6 Top-Down Estimation Primavera P6 contains a unique feature that allows the user to break down budgets into dispersed components by WBS and tasks throughout the project schedule. Projects will be allocated for a specific budget, and with this assigned cost, the Primavera P6 user will need to distribute the costs throughout the project schedule to specific tasks. Primavera P6’s top-down estimation feature helps the user quickly assign the budget for labor and non-labor based on weights per WBS and task. This article addresses how to use the Primavera P6 top-down estimation feature, which can be [...]
Quality Control and Assurance – Material Testing
Concrete Material Testing Before concrete pouring, concrete from mixers are being tested by a method called slump test, when the concrete is PumpCrete Design (PCD), Bored Pile Mixed (BPM), or spread test, when the concrete is designed as Self Compacting Concrete (SCC). Slump or spread test is where you are determining the consistency and quality of concrete to water ratio. After passing this test, the sampler will provide you a cylinder where the concrete sampled is to be retained for compressive strength testing after 7, 14 and 28 days. (Note: 28 Days - the concrete will achieve its maximum [...]
