INTRODUCTION
The units of measurements are mainly categorized for their nature, shape
and size and for making payments to the contractor and also.
a) Single units work like doors, windows, trusses etc., is expressed in numbers.
b) Works consists linear measurements involve length like cornice, fencing, hand rail,
bands of specified width etc., are expressed in running meters (RM).
c) Works consists areal surface measurements involve area like plastering, white
washing, partitions of specified thickness etc., and are expressed in square meters
(m2).
d) Works consists cubical contents which involve volume like earth work, cement,
cocrete, masonry are expreesed in cubic meters.

1.2 TECHNICAL TERMS:
5.SITE PLAN: It is the plan drawn for a particular construction showing its position
with respect to approaching roads, main bazars, markets and other permanent features
in a populated area. It shows the location of the area under construction with respect
to the other areas and on it generally the names of the owners of areas or property
holders adjoining to it are also denoted. North line is also clearly marked on it.

1.3 RULES FOR MEASUREMENT:
The rules for measurement of each item are invariably described in IS- 1200.
However some of the general rules are listed below.
1. Measurement shall be made for finished item of work and description of each item
shall include materials, transport, labour, fabrication tools and plant and all types of
overheads for finishing the work in required shape, size and specification.
4. Same type of work under different conditions and nature shall be measured
separatelyunder separate items.
5. The bill of quantities shall fully describe the materials, proportions, workmanships
and accurately represent the work to be executed.
The categories shall be measured separately and the heights shall be described:
1. Estimate gives an idea of the cost of the work and hence its feasibility can be
determined i.e. whether the project could be taken up with in the funds
available or not.
2. Estimate gives an idea of time required for the completion of the work.
3. Estimate is required to invite the tenders and Quotations and to arrange
contract.
3
4. Estimate is also required to control the expenditure during the execution of
work.
5. Estimate decides whether the proposed plan matches the funds available or
not.
1. DRAWINGS:
If the drawings are not clear and without complete dimensions the preparation of
estimation become very difficult. So, it is very essential before preparing an estimate.
2.SPECIFICATIONS:
General Specifications: This gives the nature, quality, class and work and materials
in general terms to be used in various parts of wok. It helps no form a general idea of
building.
Detailed Specifications: These gives the detailed description of the various items of
work laying down the Quantities and qualities of materials, their proportions, the
method of preparation workmanship and execution of work.
3. RATES:
For preparing the estimate the unit rates of each item of work are required.
4
1. Water supply and sanitary arrangements.
2. Electrical installations like meter, motor, etc.,
3. Architectural features.
4. Contingencies and unforeseen items.
In this project AutoCAD has been used extensively for drafting and
modelling for the structure. Also the various detailing for the foundation has also been
completed using AutoCAD. Use of AutoCAD has drastically reduced the drafting
time when done manually thus saving time which can be used in other productive
work.
Apart from that one can also input one’s own formula for special
calculations. The user interface is very friendly and easy to use.There are around
Rows: 1,048,576 Columns: 16,384, which makes it easier for the user to enter a large
amount of data into a single spreadsheet.
Also there are features like the auto correct which make changes to the entire
document if there is an error in inputting an entry. This makes the job the less
redundant and easier for the Estimator. The key objective of cost estimation is to
arrive at an accurate cost and schedules so as to avoid schedule slips and cost
5
overruns. Cost estimation goes beyond preparing approx. costs and helps in preparing
schedules, manage human resource, support assessment and decision making.
Cost estimation recognises and pays attention to the relationship between cost and
physical dimension of what is being built. In a construction project there are several
types of estimators such as building estimator, electrical estimator, quantity surveyor
etc. The work of an estimator is very important because they help in planning,
managing the project cost, investment appraisal, risk analysis etc. Estimators also help
in budgeting, planning and monitoring a project.

a. Feasibility estimation:To determine whether the project is feasible. Costs taken
into account in these estimates include costs for land acquisition, design, depreciation,
taxes, interest, capital, maintenance and annual repairs, and others.
Estimation of unit cost per square meter, this method relies on data from similar
projects ever built. This method is low accuracy. Estimation of unit cost per cubic
meter, can be used on buildings that emphasize the volume. This method is reliable
only for early planning and design phase. Factorial estimation, used in projects that
have the same type.
This method is very useful for projects that have the same/similar main component.
The cost of this major component will serve as a basic factor of 1.00 and all the price
of other components is a function of main components. Systematic estimation, the
project is divided into functional system, and then the unit price is determined by
summing the unit price of each element of each system or multiplying with the

CHAPTER- 3
METHODOLOGY
To determine the total cost of the project, plan of the project is the primary source.
By using auto cad software the plan and the sectional elevation view of the G+2
residential building is drawn in the autocad software for further estimation of the
project.
3.3 AutoCAD:

drafting. Also AutoCAD can be used for 2D and 3D design and also for perspective
design. Below is a screenshot of the GUI of Auto CAD. With the help of AutoCAD
all the drafting for the project has been done. It has made the life of a drafter quite
easy than the conventional drafter using paper and pencil.
It has made possible to make easy changes in the drawing as and when
required. Also various comm and such as COPY, OFFSET, ROTATE, MOVE have
made the tedious process of redundant work quite easy and faster.
The user interface is very friendly and easy to use. There are around Rows:
1,048,576 Columns: 16,384, which makes it easier for the user to enter a large amount
of data into a single spreadsheet. Also there are features like the auto correct which
make changes to the entire document if there is an error in inputting an entry. This
makes the job the less redundant and easier for the Estimator.

Then the length of long wall, (out to out) may be calculated after adding half
breadth at each end to its centre line length. Thus the length of short wall Measured
into in and may be found by deducting half breadth from its centre linelength at each
end. The length of long wall usually decreases from earth work to brick work in
super structure while the short wall increases. These lengths are multiplied by breadth
and depth to get quantities.
This method is suitable for walls of similar cross sections. Here the
totalcentre line length is multiplied by breadth and depth of respective item to get
thetotal quantity at a time. When cross walls or partitions or verandah walls joinwith
main all, the centre line length gets reduced by half of breadth for eachjunction. Such
junction or joints are studied carefully while calculating total centreline length. The
estimates prepared by this method are most accurate and quick.
This method is adopted when external (i.e., around the building) wall is of
one thickness and the internal walls having different thicknesses. In such cases, centre
line method is applied to external walls and long wall-short wall method issued to
internal walls.This method suits for different thicknesses walls and different level of
foundations. Because of this reason, all Engineering departments are practicing this
method.
The complete work is divided into various items of work such as earth work
concreting, brick work, R.C.C. Plastering etc., The details of measurements are taken
from drawings and entered in respective columns of prescribed preformed. The
13
quantities are calculated by multiplying the values that are in numbers column to
Depth column as shown below:
The cost of each item of work is worked out from the quantities that already
computed in the details measurement form at workable rate. But the total cost is
worked out in the prescribed form is known as 11 abstract of estimated form. 4%of
estimated Cost is allowed for Petty Supervision, contingencies and Unforeseen items.

CHAPTER 4
SPECIFICATION AND RATE ANALYSIS
SITE CLEARANCE:
Before the earth work is started the area coming under cutting and filling
shall be cleared of all obstruction, loose stones, shrubs, rank vegetation, grass, bushes
and rubbish removed up to a distance of 150 metres outside the periphery of the area
under clearance. This work is deemed to be included in the earthwork item rate and no
separate payment will be admissible.
16
included in the earthwork items and no separate payment will be admissible for the
work. Any material obtained from the site will be the property of the Government of
India and the useful materials as decided by the Engineer-in-charge will be conveyed
and properly stacked as directed within the lead specified.
The Department will show grid co-ordinate or other reference points. It shall
bethe responsibility of the contractor to set out center lines correctly with reference to
the drawings and install substantial reference marks. Checking of such alignment by
the Department will not absolve the contractor from his responsibility to execute the
work strictly in accordance with the drawings.
EXCAVATION:
The contractor shall notify the Engineer-in-charge before starting excavation
and before the ground is disturbed, to enable him to take existing level for the purpose
of measurements. The ground levels shall be taken at 5 to 15 metres intervals in
uniformly sloping ground and at closer distance where local mounds, pits, or
undulations are met with, as directed by the Engineer-incharge. The ground levels
shall be recorded in field books and plotted on plans, which shall be signed by the
Contractor and the Engineer-in-charge, before the earthwork is actually started.
The labour required for taking levels, shall be supplied by the Contractor at
his own cost. The Contractor shall perform excavation in all types of soils, murrum,
soft and hard rock, boulders etc. in foundation, over areas and in trenches to widths,
lines, levels, grades and curves as shown in the drawing or lesser widths, lines, levels,
grades and levels as directed by the Engineer-in-charge and per items in the schedule
of quantities.
17
The item in the schedule of quantities shall specify the excavation in
trenches or over areas. For this purpose, the excavation for any depth in trenches for
foundation not exceeding 1.5m in width or 10sqm. on plan shall be described as
excavation in foundation trenches. Excavation exceeding 1.5m in width as well as
10sqm. on plan (excluding trenches for pipes, cables etc.) and exceeding 30cm in
depth shall be described as excavation over areas. Excavation exceeding 1.5m in
width as well as 10sqm. on plan but not exceeding 30cm. in depth shall be described
as surface Excavation.
This shall include all materials which are rock or hard conglomerate, all
decomposed weathered rock, highly fissured rock, old masonry, boulders bigger than
0.03 cum, in volume but not bigger than 0.5 cum. and other varieties of soft rock
which can be removed only with pick axes, crow bars, wedges and hammers with
some difficulty. The mere fact that the contractor resorts to blasting and / or wedging
and chiseling of reasons of his own, shall not mean the rock is classifiable as hard
rock.
This includes all rock other than soft rock mentioned in para above 1.5.1 (b)
viz. soft rock, occurring in masses, boulders having approximate volume more than
18
0.5 cum. plain or reinforced cement concrete, which can best be removed by chiseling
and wedging where blasting cannot be permitted owing to any restriction at site.
Note: All the excavated hard rock obtained shall be stacked properly and neatly
within thespecified lead by the contractor as directed by the Engineer-in-charge
Excavation: The excavation under all classifications in areas in trenches or in pits
shall be carried out systematically. Cutting shall be done from top to bottom and not
under pining or under cutting will be allowed. The bottom and sides of excavation
shall be dressed to proper level, slopes, steps, camber etc. by removing high spots and
ramming thoroughly as directed by the Engineer-in-charge.
All the excavation shall be carried out strictly to the dimensions given in the
drawing. The width shall generally be of the width of mudmat concrete and depth as
shown in drawing or as directed by the Engineer-in-charge, according to availability
of the desired bearing capacity of soil below. Any excavation if taken below the
specified depths and levels, the contractor shall at his own cost fill up such over cut to
the specified level with cement concrete.
The backfilling shall be done after the concrete or masonry has fully set and
shall be done in such a way as not to cause under-thrust on any part of the structure.
Where suitable excavated material is to be used for backfilling, it shall be brought
from the place where it was temporarily deposited and shall be used in backfilling.
19
The scope of work for backfilling/ filling in foundation, plinth, under floors
etc. shall include filling for all the buildings covered under the contract. Surplus earth
available from one building, if required, shall be used for backfilling filling for other
buildings also within the specified lead mentioned in the item. All timber shoring and
form work left in the trenches, pits, floors etc. shall be removed after their necessity
ceases and trash of any sort shall be cleared out from the excavation.
All the space between foundation masonry or concrete and the sides
of excavation shall be backfilled to the original surface with approved materials in
layers not exceeding 150mm, in thickness, watered and well consolidated by means of
rammers to at least 90% of the consolidation. Areas inaccessible to mechanical
equipment such as areas adjacent to walls and columns etc. shall be tamped by hand
rammer or by handheld power rammers to the required density.
The backfill shall be uniform in character and free from large lumps, stones.
shingle or boulder not larger than 75mm. in any direction, salt, clods, organic or other
foreign materials which might rot. The backfilling in plinth and under floor shall be
well consolidated by means of mechanical or hand operated rammers as specified to
achieve the required density. Test to establish proper consolidation as required will be
carried out by the Department at rates specified. Two tests per 50 sqm. will be taken
to ascertain the proper consolidation. The cost of tests carried out will be recovered
from the contractor’s bill.
After the available suitable excavated materials are exhausted as backfilling, the
contractor shall notify the Engineer-in-charge of the fact and levels taken jointly with
Engineerin- charge. The earth, murrum, sand, gravel etc. or such materials suitable for
filling proposed to be filled under floors and so mentioned in t he item of schedule of
quantities shall then be brought to site from approved locations and sources.
Earth Filling:
The earth, soft murrum etc. so brought shall be filled up in layers of 15 cm depth,
each layer being well watered and consolidated by approved hand or mechanical

STANDARD SCHEDULE OF RATES
The Activity earthwork can be divided into many types based on depth and
type of soil. For example, an excavation of 1.5m deep in soft soil, an excavation of
3m deep in hard soil. Likewise, concrete work can be divided into many types based
on its mix proportions and its placement. For example, M25 reinforced concrete work
in foundation, M30 reinforced concrete work in columns, slabs etc. Likewise, there
can be many small civil works in every construction project.

each small works. Rate analysis of Civil Works or Building Works is the
determination of cost of each construction work per unit quantity.
The rate of labour is based on skill of the labour, such as skilled labour,
semi-skilled and unskilled labour. The cost of materials and labours vary from place
to place. Thus, the cost of each construction work varies from place to place.
23
f) Insurance/ risk coverage charges
g) Contractor’s overheads and profit
For the purpose of tendering. In the case of tendering, the contractor may
calculate cost of unit work involved in each construction activity for justified
quoting of rates. The client may also require rate analysis to calculate the cost
of construction project.
To optimise the use of labour, materials and machineries and to know the
alternatives to optimize the resources.
To assess the rate of unit work from time to time for payment increase in
material or labour costs or any deviations in work specifications, extra items
of work to the contractor.
To compare the cost of project with the sanctioned capital of the project to
take necessary action or regularization of excess or less cost.
To workout the budget of the construction project and control the cash flows
at various stages of construction work.
To find out the irrational rates quoted by the contractors during tendering
process.
To serve as the basic data in case of dispute among project owner and
contractor.
