Calculating Quantities
on August 20, 2019
Throughout the land development process—whether it’s during the conceptual phase, design phase, or construction phase—much attention will be focused on cost. As a designer, you will constantly receive inquiries about the cost to build certain parts of the project or even the entire project. A fundamental piece of information that you’ll need in order to do a cost estimate is the quantity of each item or material. There are several powerful AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software tools that can extract quantity information from your design. In fact, you have already experienced one of them in “Designing New Terrain”, when you calculated cut and fill volumes for your grading design. In this discuss, you will study two more methods: using QTO Manager and using sectional volumes.
