Reinforced concrete building design project based learning / Muhammad Aliff Syazwan Mustakim

To conclude this design works, all the elements was successfully designed as all the design passed in the analysis calculation. Furthermore, the comparison between the manual calculation and software calculation also did not exceed 30% in percentage error. This means that the calculation that was done manually is still acceptable to be used if it were to be used in the real life. The uses of the software which is PRO KON practically ease the calculation process of the design works. However, we cannot neglect the manual way of calculating it as it is part of the traditional way. Sometimes, the software also makes mistakes and we needed to compare it with our manual calculation so we can identify the mistakes. We also need to calculate our cost of project accurately by using the taking-off sheet. With this way, we can estimate our cost with the lowest loss and waste. The total cost also can be known by the bill of quantities. We can know the current cost of each material and the total cost of designing each of the elements. Lastly, we can estimate the time needed to construct each of the elements by using Microsoft Project. With this software we can know the time required to complete the construction and the list of works that involved in the construction. With so, our project will become more organized and can complete in time required by the client. As known, if a project was not completed by the time, we will be fined by the client as we breach the contract.
