𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 — 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐒

All Structural Analysis & Design Files and Construction Estimate Excel Files are created to help make computations, estimates, quantity take-offs, and project preparation faster, easier, and more organized for students, engineers, freelancers, and project use.

𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗟 𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗬𝗦𝗜𝗦 & 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡 𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗦

✔ Based on NSCP 2015, ACI, AISC, AASHTO, and other engineering references
✔ Includes Excel Automated Calculations, Manual Computations, PDF Guides, and Structural Design Templates
✔ Applicable for Residential, Commercial, Warehouse, and other project types
✔ Applicable for Any Number of Storeys depending on project requirements and user inputs
✔ Includes RC and Steel Design References, Sample Structural Computations, Portal Analysis, Structural Analysis Files, and Design Worksheets

𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗧:
Although computations are automated, users are still responsible for entering the correct project data, dimensions, loads, material properties, and design parameters.

Final checking, validation, and approval of computations should still be reviewed by the responsible engineer or professional before actual construction or permit submission.

These files are intended to assist workflow, improve understanding, and help organize engineering computations, not replace professional judgment, verification, and evaluation.

𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗦
✔ Includes Construction Estimate Templates, BOQ, BOM, Quantity Take-Offs, Gantt Charts, and Editable Excel Worksheets
✔ Based on Max Fajardo Methods, Standard Estimating Procedures, and Actual Sample Templates
✔ Applicable for Residential, Commercial, Warehouse, and other project types
✔ Applicable for Any Number of Storeys depending on project requirements and user inputs

𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗧:
Material prices, labor costs, supplier quotations, and sample unit costs included in some files are for demonstration and Excel automation purposes only.

Actual project costs may vary depending on:

✔ Current market prices
✔ Supplier quotations
✔ Project location
✔ Labor rates
✔ Project specifications and scope

Users must still verify, update, and adjust all actual costing, quantities, and specifications based on their own project requirements and conditions.

This package includes Lifetime Access. Expect continuous updates, refinements, additional templates, engineering references, and new files over time.

Newly added contents and updates may also be posted in the comment section for easier tracking and access.

This example illustrates a spreadsheet-based workflow for seismic calculations using the Static Force Procedure.

The sample demonstrates:

• Seismic factors and parameters
• Fundamental period of vibration
• Seismic weight determination
• Calculated and final design base shear
• Base shear upper and minimum limit checks
• Force distribution per level
• Distribution factor calculation
• Lateral force determination at each level
• Base shear and force distribution verification

A useful reference for understanding seismic force calculations and spreadsheet-based structural engineering workflows.

A PDF tutorial is also provided to guide users through the spreadsheet inputs, calculation procedures, and generated outputs.

For educational and reference purposes only.

Reading a floor plan becomes easier when you understand the different symbols commonly used in drawings.

Floor plan symbols provide visual information about the layout and elements of a building. Depending on the drawing, these may include compass symbols, door symbols, window symbols, stair symbols, wall symbols, and plumbing symbols.

Each symbol serves a specific purpose—from showing the orientation of the plan and direction of door movement to identifying openings, stairs, walls, and plumbing fixtures.

Understanding these basic symbols can help beginners become more familiar with reading and interpreting architectural and construction drawings.

The examples shown are presented for educational and reference purposes. Actual symbols, conventions, and drawing details may vary depending on the project, drawing standards, and designer.

Ang stair estimation ay hindi lang basta pagkuha ng dimensions. Kailangan din maintindihan kung paano nagta-translate ang given dimensions into concrete volume, reinforcement quantities, at material takeoff.

Sa example na ito, makikita step-by-step kung paano kino-compute ang concrete, main bars, temp bars, bent bars, bar on nosing, at tie wire based on the given stair dimensions.

This can be used as a practice and learning reference for students, beginners, and those who want to improve their understanding of construction estimating and quantity takeoff.
