Choosing the right Power BI license Power BI provides numerous licensing options that provide flexibility and affordability for individuals and organizations of any size. These various licensing options come in two primary categories: Shared capacity Think of shared capacity like an apartment building. While each tenant within the apartment building has their own personal living

Discovering the Power BI ecosystem While Power BI is often classified as a visualization tool, the reality is that Power BI is not a single tool but rather a collection of interrelated tools and services that form a complete business intelligence ecosystem. This ecosystem spans the entire business intelligence spectrum, from data to modeling, analysis,

Understanding Business Intelligence and Power BI Power BI is a powerful ecosystem of business intelligence tools and technologies from Microsoft. But what exactly is business intelligence, anyway? Simply stated, business intelligence is all about leveraging data to make better decisions. This can take many forms and is not necessarily restricted to just business. We use

Carpenter’s drawings The carpenter’s drawings present the construction of the structural frame from a geometrical point of view. Since they are closely related not only to the architectural but also the structural design of the building, they derive from the cooperation of the architect with the civil engineer. The formwork’s detailing includes accurate drawings,

Detailing drawings for the structural frame’s construction General The architectural, structural, mechanical design of a building, have three stages, the preliminary design, the final design and the detailing. The purpose of the preliminary design is to assess all the parameters of the building, to evaluate their effect both from a legislative and a
Electronic exchange of designs – bids – orders The structural analysis and design are performed, almost exclusively, by means of a complete software package. On the other hand, the detailing requires a software combination every one of which demands a different input. A part of that necessary data is re-inserted into every software while another

Estimation of the structural frame’s cost By the quantities estimates, we calculate the amount of materials and labor required for the building’s erection prior to the construction. Based upon these estimates and by taking into ac- count the prices offered in the market, we estimate the cost. After the completion of every constructional phase,

Optimization of the reinforcement schedule The quantities estimates of the previous chapter are based upon the theoretical rebar lengths as provided by the software. Since the reinforcement bars have specific lengths, usually 12 ή 14 m, ordering them with their exact lengths will lead to the formation of oddments i.e. short rebars of length e.g.
