Estimating Stacked Construction |
|||||
Stacked Multiple Units You can use the BidMagic estimating software for estimating the cost of row houses, and other 'stacked' mutl-unit construction projects where each unit is on a separate floor. When estimating 'stacked' multiple units, you won't need to enter any party walls, unless the building itself touches other buildings on its sides. On each floor, include both the living unit(s) on that floor, plus any common areas such as stairways, utility areas and halls. In Specifications, you may need to add fire-rated wallboard or other treatments on the ceilings between units, in halls and stairways, and on walls between living units and common spaces. You may also need to include multiple mailboxes and other items shared in common by all the units. More than 3 Stories In a project with more than 3 upper stories, BidMagic considers all additional
floors to be duplicates of the third story. In many 4 and 5 story 'stacked' projects, the bottom floor and top floor have a different layout, and middle stories are all the same. If that is the case, enter the top floor into the second story on the Basic Dimensions card, and one of the middle floors into the third & up story.
