Having the Calculations and Answers Ready in Advance | Lessons from an Experienced Slope Engineer

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

As for the blog I'm writing,Regarding on-site construction and issues,

I've written down the answers and solutions.

 

A long time ago, when I was still a rookie slope contractor,

When it came to work procedures, methods, and conclusions, most people tended not to tell me about them.

"You'll understand once you've experienced it," or "You'll figure it out eventually," or

They won't tell me for such a vague reason, lol.

There are many things I only find out when the time comes.

However, once you reach a certain level as an engineer, you realize that if you do this, that will happen.

I know that if I do this, that will happen.

In my experience,It's easier to handle things when you know the answer from the start.That's right.

What will happen? It will turn out this way. It will turn out that way.

Have a variety of answers ready, and when something happens, choose one.

Right awaySolutionThat's it.

Even if you haven't experienced it, if you know the answer,

We can solve problems on-site.


But that's beside the point.

I recently purchased this.

It really is convenient.

Doing the math by hand is a nightmare lol

 

Until recently, I used to go to a company run by an acquaintance to borrow equipment and do my cost estimates lol

This may seem obvious to administrators, but,

It's something that craftsmen rarely have anything to do with.

In essence, cost estimation is the process of calculating the amount of government funding based on the labor rates for each type of work.

 

Don't you think, "It doesn't apply to me because I'm a subcontractor!"?

Actually, there is a connection.

First, how much is the government agency paying the general contractor?

It’s a treasure trove of information—from win rates to expense ratios and more.

Is the amount our company agreed to accept reasonable?

Since the market unit prices are listed in the civil engineering construction unit price guide, you can easily look them up.

However, there are some types of work that aren't listed.

It's important to fully understand that.

 

There’s a world of difference between knowing and not knowing.

It can also serve as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the general contractor, and

Use the cost estimate documents as reference material when considering changes on-site.

We can also submit it to the general contractor as a first-tier subcontractor.

It can also be submitted as reference material for specialized contractors during the general contractor’s bidding process.

 

It’s certainly quite a challenge, but it’s definitely worth a try.

What's more, recent cost estimates are rounded to the nearest yen.

Cost estimation is already part of a craftsman's domain.

It's a profession known as a quantity surveyor.

 

Well, that's it for now.
