Cost estimation is a key part for any project planning. It's the process of predicting the quantity, cost, and price of the resources required for any project. The differences in construction methods between different forms of slabs result into variation in the cost of the slabs for any building project. Thus, this study aims at assessing the variation in construction cost among various construction methods available for four different types of floor slab systems. A 3D structural model had been analyzed and designed under a statically gravity loads by using computer software (ETABS v.16). In this study; a 3D model had been designed with different slab systems, solid, ribbed (one & two way), and flat plate slab. After that, quantity survey and cost estimate were done for each system, and a bill of quantity was constructed for each of them. Finally, the most economical system is selected; it is The Flat Plate Slab System.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
