英语翻译
Even if the approximate quantities whenprepared showed a far higher total than the original estimate,the reasonscould not be easily traced.It still could not be seen whether any particularpart of the building was extravagantly designed,and there was nothing to showwhere the cost could be cut most economically.
In addition,even if it were possible toidentify the problem areas the architect would obviously resist an expensivemajor redesign at this late stage.
即使准备的近似数量比原先估算的高得多,其原因不能很容易地检查出.从它身上仍然无法体现出是否建筑物的任何特定部分被奢华设计,且没有显示哪里的经济成本可以被减少.
此外,即使在最后阶段建筑师有可能清楚地找出问题所在并拒绝昂贵的设计.
As a rule,therefore,approximate quantities would not be prepared but the job sent out to tender bythe architect,who would just hope for the best.If the tender proved to be toohigh the price would have to be cut wherever it could be done easily withouthaving to alter too many drawings,usually by cutting the more high-class partsof the specification and substituting lower quality.This was not at all thesame thing as producing an economically efficient design.
因此,作为一项规则,成本概算不仅会被准备好且会被希望中标的建筑师拿去投标.如果该投标被认为价格太高将被筛除,即使它可以不用修改很多图纸很容易地被完成,通常分割规范很高级的部分以替代低质量.这可以产生一个完全不一样的经济效益.
