Pick an element of risk in construction projects. Share a story from your experience, or your analysis, of a digital risk management tool that can augment your team’s efforts at monitoring and controlling that risk. Also, or alternatively, discuss the pitfalls that users should watch for with this technology.

Remember to find strong, reliable references and cite them in your initial post. Respond to at least two other students initial posts, again citing references for your perspective that adds value to their posts.

Follow the instruction on the attached file, focus on the following:

• Develop knowledge and understanding of the principles of risk management, resilience and crises as applied to engineering and construction projects.
• Appraise the principles of resilience, building resilient infrastructure, and the need of having disaster resilient infrastructure.
• Critique climate-related and sustainability risks in engineering and construction projects.

Assignment 2: Construction Takeoff and Cost Proposal

In this assignment, you will perform a construction takeoff analysis for a multi-level hotel building project. The goal of this exercise is to simulate a real-world estimating scenario in which a contractor prepares a cost proposal for a client based on architectural drawings.

Using the architectural drawings provided for the hotel project (see attachment), each team will complete a quantity takeoff for the following building components:

• Flooring
• Walls
• Windows
• Doors

Your team will use these quantities to develop a cost estimate and proposal for the project owner.

Scope of the Assignment

Your final submission should take the form of a professional cost proposal prepared by a fictional construction firm. The proposal should include the following:

1. Cost Estimate

• Quantity takeoffs for doors
• Unit costs and total cost calculations

1. Risk and Contingencies

• Identification of potential risks in the project
• Appropriate contingency allowances included in the estimate
