UNIT C - LAB

OBJECTIVE: TO FIGURE THE COST OF MATERIAL FOR REMODELING MR. CURRAN’S ROOM.

You have been contracted by USD #248 to remodel Room #13. You are to find the cost to build stud walls along the interior walls. The room is 30 feet long and 25 feet wide and 8 feet tall. You will need treated (CCA) 2 x 4’s on the bottom of the walls. They will be secured to the floor with 2 1/2” by 1/4” Tapcons (get 1 box of 100). You will need a 4 foot header over the door and an 8 foot header over the window (use 2 x 12). The studs ( Pre cut studs) will need to be set on 16 inch centers. You will also need to figure an extra 20% of the number of studs for bracing and blocks. There will need to be a double top plate (2 x 4 x 16’) on the top of the wall. Use 16 penny nails to nail everything together (get 25 lbs). You will need to insulate the walls with R-11 insulation. After the walls are insulated, you will need to sheetrock the walls. Secure it to the walls with 1 1/4” drywall screws (get 10 lbs). After that, you will need to tape the joints. (get 1 roll of joint tape and 3 boxes of sheet rock mud). Then you will need to paint it a bright yellow (1 gallon of paint will cover 400 square feet). Give the number of each item that will be needed, and the cost for each item. Then total up the total bill and add 6% tax to obtain the grand total.
