a. Calculate the approximate volume of the tall feature in cubic meters. The top of the feature is at an elevation of 115’ and the bottom of the feature is at an elevation of 35’. The width of the feature is 1410’ and its length is 1245’. Show your work clearly.

b. Do you think this calculated volume is an overestimate or underestimate? Explain your reasoning

Expert Solution

Estimation which plays a major role in massive constructions.

In this problem i am considering a tall closed building lika a rectangular block and their deuductions issue will be disucssiong in part b

a)

b)

construction cost estimating is the process of forecasting the cost of building.

project owners use cost estimates to determine a project scope and feasibility and to allocate budgets.contractors use them when deciding whether to bid on a project.

In most of the streams estimation is done to know about how much cost ,material,labour force and time for completion.

since we have got huge voulme which is a over estimation.For a building there will be a lot of deductions which results in deducing the voulme.
