When stained or art glass is used, the specifications generally limit
the cost, as the glass is made according to the architect’s designs
or to approved designs submitted by manufacturers. The price depends
more on the amount of lead or copper used than on the cost of the glass
itself, and therefore no very close estimate can be made. The following
figures are only approximate:
COST PER
SQUARE FOOT
Clear glass $1 to $3
Opalescent glass $1 to $3
Plate glass $2 to $4
Cathedral glass $3 to $5
Favrille glass About $8
Ordinary window, or sheet, glass is sold by the box, which contains, as
nearly as possible, 50 square feet, whatever the size of the glass may
be. There are two qualities of ordinary glass, known as _single_ and
_double thick_, the former being about ¹/₁₆ inch thick, and the latter
nearly ⅛ inch. Single-thick glass should never be used in panes over
24 in. × 24 in. in size. Table XV gives the number of panes of window
glass in one box of 50 square feet.
ESTIMATING AND CALCULATING QUANTITIES
(PART 2)
EXAMPLE IN ESTIMATING
=1.= Following the rules and suggestions already given in _Estimating
and Calculating Quantities_, Part 1, the estimate for a house will be
made as a practical example, the drawings on which it is based being
shown in the accompanying plates. In making the estimate, the various
portions of the work are taken in the order in which they naturally
occur in the erection of the building, following, as closely as
possible, the estimating schedule heretofore given.
As far as possible, the figures given in the example should be checked
up by taking off quantities and performing all the indicated work. It
is only by actually making the calculations that any practical benefit
from the work will be derived. _No two estimators, working separately,
will arrive at exactly the same results; therefore, in following the
calculations in this example, some discrepancies between the figures of
the person performing the estimating and the ones given will no doubt
be found._ These discrepancies should not be important ones, however,
and by carefully studying the methods followed, results substantially
the same as those computed here should be obtained.
