In this construction article, you will learn how to work the quantities and cost of a simple building that has ground floor and basement (with one shear wall).

The foundation comprises of spread footings fastened with connecting beams along with a strip foundation.

Given below, the step-by-step guidelines for determining the quantities of different types of materials concrete, formworks, spacers, reinforcements, the reinforcement schedules’ optimization as well as the total quantity and cost estimate of the structural frame.

All the processes are supported with images and formulas.
