Overview
It
is imperative that the design professional uses organized methods of keeping
track of design elements and cost control for building design and construction.
In addition, it is helpful to track design decisions and cost controls
throughout the life of the building from the Planning phase all the way through
to the Operations phase including the Programming, Design and Construction
phases in between.
In
this course the student will learn some of the basic about Uniformat II as it
applies to the life cycle of a building. The student will learn how the
Uniformat II system is used for a variety of purposes including, but not limited
to, Planning Estimates, Program Performance Specifications, Program Technical
Requirements, Program Estimates, Preliminary Project Descriptions, Preliminary
Construction Schedules and Cash Flow Projections, Design Phase Estimates, CAD
Layering, Cost Risk Analysis, Life-Cycle Cost Analysis, Reporting and
Function-Cost Models and Brainstorming.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained in the
Uniformat II Elemental Classification for Building Specifications, Cost
Estimating and Cost Control, NIST U.S. Department of Commerce – Publication
NISTIR 6389
The
student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20)
questions at the end of the course to obtain PDH credits.
