Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

I've been in Niigata for a few days now.

It really is a little chilly, isn't it?

The cedar pollen isn't quite as bad here as it is in the Tokai region.

It's a little easier, lol.

But that's beside the point.

A Little More on the "Zabuton Fund"

I'll keep going just a little longer lol

That's a bit hard to understand, isn't it??

The prices are different for "Ue" and "Shita," aren't they?

We'll assemble and install the zabuton frame like this.

Please use the cost estimate documents to calculate the estimated cost for assembly and installation.

To download the cost estimation documents, please go to the "Downloads" section of the Shioda Development website.

 

Let's assume the standard thickness of this zabuton frame is 10 cm of mortar.

10 cm is the market unit price for sprayed mortar.

So, what happens when the direction and angle are different, as shown in the photo above?

If we’d known from the start, we would have discussed it with the local government right away.

If it deviates from the standard rate, it’ll be adjusted in the estimate; if the standard rate is acceptable, then it’ll be set at a reasonable level.

Please work things out with the government office.

The red portion represents 10 cm of sprayed mortar (market unit price), and the blue portion represents the settlement for the drainage concrete work.

Actually, it can sometimes be easier to understand if the contractor breaks down the estimate into separate items. Although, a percentage breakdown is fine, too.

The measurement method involves measuring the heights of the four sides.

Based on that, calculate the average height, multiply it by the area of the base to determine the total volume, and then subtract the 10-centimeter portion.

Example of Calculating the Quantity of Zabuton Frames

①	②	③	④	Average Height
0.5 m	0.5 m	0.3	0.2 m	0.375 m

Zabuton frame area = 2.121 m × 2.121 m – {(0.392 × 0.392 ÷ 2) × 4} = 4.191 m²

4.191 m² × 0.375 m =1.57 m³ (total)

0.1 m × 4.191 m² =0.4191 m³ (sprayed mortar)

General—Sprayed Mortar Work = Concrete Drip Edge Work

1.57 m³ - 0.4191 m³ =1.15 m³

---

Based on this calculation,

Mortar Spraying Work = 4.19 m²

Drainage concrete work = 1.15 m³

That’s the number, so if you multiply it by the unit price, you’ll get the total amount.

 

Ultimately, this quantity will also be subject to change by the government agency. However, there may be cases where they don't review it...

Let's make sure to measure carefully, discuss thoroughly, and get the necessary changes made.

To government agencies that use magic phrases like “corporate efforts” or “creative ingenuity”—

Right? (lol)

 

See you later.
