Exam 7: Reverse Engineering and Cost Estimation in Construction Industry

In this method approx. total length of walls is found in running metre and this total length multiplied by the rate per running metre of wall gives a fairly accurate cost.

Cube rate estimate is less accurate as compared to the plinth area estimate as the height of the building is also compared.

In reverse engineering, what refers to the level of detail that is provided at an abstraction level?

Which model is used to compute the effort required to integrate reusable components or program code that is automatically generated by design or program translation tools?

In this method, it is assumed that the property will lose its value by a constant percentage of its value at the beginning of every year. This method is called?

_____________tendering is used when all the information necessary to calculate a realistic price is available when tendering commences.

Obsolescence is the annual periodic payments for repayments of the capital amount invested by a party.

Approximate cost of a hostel building for 100 students @Rs.10000/- per student works out as Rs. 10 lakhs.

_____________involves the preparation of tenders based on a typical or notional bill of quantities or schedule of works.

Scrap value is the net annual letting value of a property, which is obtained after deducting the amount of yearly repairs from the gross income.

Extracting data items and objects, to get information on data flow, and to understand the existing data structures that have been implemented is sometimes called

What will be the co-efficient of passive earth pressure, at a depth of 8m in cohesion less soil sand with an angle of internal friction of 30° when the water rises to the ground level?

A pumping set with a motor has been installed in a building at a cost of Rs.2500.00. Assuming the life of the pump as 15 years, work out the amount of annual instalment of sinking fund required to be deposited to accumulate the whole amount of 4% compound interest.

For storeyed building plinth area estimate is not prepared for each storey separately.

In Schedule contract the contractor undertakes the execution or construction of specific work with all its contingencies, to complete it in all respect within a specified time for a fixed amount.

Reverse engineering is the process of deriving the system design and specification from its

In reverse engineering process, what refers to the sophistication of the design information that can be extracted from the source code?

Much of the information necessary to create a behavioral model can be obtained by observing the external manifestation of the existing

Mutual mistake occurs when both parties of a contract are mistaken as to the terms.
