Baumeister/in HFP cheat sheet

Baumeister/in HFP · Keep the key ideas within reach.

Quick reference

Control execution against the approved technical basis

  • Use current approved documents, references, and criteria.

  • Resolve interfaces before concealed or irreversible work.

  • Link inspection evidence to location, stage, and acceptance rules.

  • Keep quantity assumptions separate from actual engineering requirements.

Quick reference

Plan prerequisites, resources, interfaces, and a workable sequence

  • Check prerequisites rather than relying on a scheduled date.

  • Plan access, shared resources, storage, and trade interfaces.

  • Separate labour effort, duration, and measured progress.

  • Communicate and document the operational effect of changes.

Quick reference

Integrate Swiss site safety with the actual work and environment

  • Plan for the actual hazards, responsibilities, and emergency arrangements.

  • Do not substitute PPE or caution for required protective measures.

  • Coordinate shared-site traffic, access, and understandable instructions.

  • Include health and environmental risks and reassess changed conditions.

Quick reference

Lead crews with clear tasks, feedback, and safe escalation

  • Assign work with clear results, references, checks, and authority.

  • Check understanding and communicate changed interfaces.

  • Base feedback on observable facts and the actual cause.

  • Maintain accountability without suppressing questions or safety reports.

Quick reference

Record site facts, quantities, and changes so they can be checked

  • Separate observed facts from uncertain attribution.

  • Define units, location, method, and contractual measurement basis.

  • Distinguish delivery, installation, acceptance, and payment evidence.

  • Preserve a traceable record of corrections, instructions, and changes.

Quick reference

Finance and accounting

  • Profit and cash differ because of credit, stock and capital spending.

  • Break-even = fixed costs ÷ unit contribution; contribution funds fixed costs and profit.

  • Gearing formulas vary; use the debt and capital definitions supplied in the exercise.

  • Payback ignores later cash flows; NPV discounts all cash flows.

  • Liquidity ratios need interpretation, not just calculation.

Quick reference

Scope, change evidence, risk and accountable construction decisions

  • Use the actual agreement and current competent legal basis.

  • Distinguish geometry, delivery, installation, acceptance and payment evidence.

  • Record changes, instructions, timing and unresolved consequences transparently.

  • Assess enterprise cash, risk, quality and responsibility together.

Quick reference

Building systems, load paths, heat and moisture

  • R=d/λ uses thickness in metres; total resistance includes the model’s surfaces and layers.

  • U=1/R_total is a steady-state element model, not the complete building energy demand.

  • Permanent, occupancy, wind and snow actions require the stated design framework.

  • Moisture, airtightness and intended ventilation must be considered together.

  • Example tie spacing is supplied data, not a code rule.
