i need a research for one of the first built tombs in the world. The selected tomb should have a superstructure. Specifically, focus on the, Evidential, Historical, Aesthetic and Communal Values of the tombs. In other words, determine the specific futures of a tomb in relation to their evidential, historical, aesthetic, and communal values
also Architect, architectural features, construction year and duration, construction materials, construction type, structural features, construction purpose and the features that make it different and significant and the importance of the construction for the society should be included and explained under the headings of Evidential, Historical, Aesthetic and Communal Values in the report. You should illustrate your explanations with photographs which should be referred in your report
a maximum 350-words long
Wikipedia or similar untrustworthy web sources are not allowed to be used as reference.
You need to submit the reference files to me as well (preferably as a PDF) and give names to the reference files with the name of the study described in the reference file

Turner Construction entered into a contract to provide general construction of Granby Towers. Turner then entered into a subcontract with Universal to install precast concrete floors in the Granby Towers construction project. The general construction contract was incorporated by reference into the subcontract. The contract between Turner and Universal contained a “pay-when-paid provision” that conditioned any payments to Universal on Turner’s first receiving payment from Universal. Due to the economic downturn, financing for the project fell through. Universal had substantially completed all its work by that time, and it sought payment of $885,507 from Turner, which refused to pay because it had not received any payment from the owner of the project. Turner asked the court for summary judgment on Universal’s breach-of-contract claim. Should the court’s grant of summary judgment be upheld? Why or why not? [Universal Concrete Products v. Turner Construction Co., 4th Cir. Case No. 09- 1569 (2010).]

Labor costs are among the most dynamic factor which constitutes an estimate's cost. Discuss about the factors that can cause labor costs to differ dramatically in a standard job scenario. Give examples and explain how this may affect construction project performance.To support your opinion, refer to any verified sources such as articles, journals, books and newspapers. Citation and quote the authors too if possible. Thank you

Refer to Questions 2 and 3. The land for the factory will cost $610,000 . The factory will cost $8,960,000 to build and construction will take two years with construction costs payable in equal installments at the start of each year. The factory will operate for 20 years. At the end of its 20 year lifespan, the land can be resold for $230,000 . There is a 70% probability that the factory's net operating cash flows will be $1,086,599 ; however, there is a 30% chance that net cash flows will only be $660,183 . You may assume that net operating cash flows are received at the end of each year.
a) What are the Expected net operating cash flows per year? Enter Answer (1 Mark)(Round your answer to 2 decimal places)
b) What is the Internal Rate of Return for the project? Enter Answer (1 Mark)(Round your answer to one one-hundreth of a percent)
c) What is the Net Present Value of the project? Enter Answer (1 Mark)(Round your answer to 2 decimal places)
d) Should Anna recommend that the J Corporation build the factory? Yes No ↑

Early in 2017, Dobbs Corporation engaged Kiner, Inc. to design and construct a complete modernization of Dobbs's manufacturing facility. Construction was begun on June 1, 2017 and was completed on December 31, 2017. Dobbs made the following payments to Kiner, Inc. during 2017:
Date Payment
June 1, 2017 $2,000,000
August 31, 2017 3,000,000
December 31, 2017 2,500,000
In order to help finance the construction, Dobbs issued
In addition to the 9% bonds payable, the only debt outstanding during 2017 was a $425,000, 12% note payable dated January 1, 2013 and due January 1, 2023, with interest payable annually on January 1.

Please explain what you did
Splat Candies is planning on building a new gumball factory that will have an estimated construction cost of $44 million. One-quarter of the cost of construction will be spent in the first year, with the remainder spent in the second year. During the third year (first year of operation), the gumminess of the gumballs slows down production so that profit of only $8 million is achieved. After that, the net yearly profit is $12 million for 9 years. At the end of the 12-year project life, the factory is shut down and sold as scrap metal for $2 million. Assume MACRS depreciation with a 7 year recovery period, a 9% interest rate and a corporate tax rate of 29%.
(a) Make a table showing cash flow, depreciation charge, taxes paid and after-tax cash flows for the 12 year project life, plus the year after the project ends. Excel is very useful for this.
(b) What is the cumulative net present value of the plant? (Hint: see Towler example 9.4)
(c) Calculate overall after-tax ROI for the project.
(d) Determine the internal rate of return (IRR, which is the same as DCFROR) for the project.

High Rise Construction
1.) Please discuss the importance of developing building technologies to resist "earth movement, high winds and other lateral forces" in high-rise construction.
2.) Examine relevant techniques and other factors such as "building load and height" issues in structural design and support your points with some examples. I am particularly looking for relevant technologies that are in use today to help compensate for these factors in construction.
