| Abstract | The planning of any project is greatly influenced by Cost estimation. The quantity, cost and price of the resources required for any project are predicted by cost estimation. The differences in construction methods between different forms of slabs result in variation in the cost of the slabs for any building project. On the other hand, the most effective decisions related to sustainable design of a building can be made depending upon the structural performance of the building. Thus, this study aims at assessing the variation in construction cost among various construction methods available for five 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.20). In this study, a 3D model had been designed with different slab systems, beam slab, flat slab, waffle slab, one way joist slab 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 Slab System. On the basis of performance, the most efficient building system is one way joist slab system. |
