ESTIMATING AND COSTING

Lecture 8
Intent

At the end of the class students will be able to:

To calculate the total cost of work by analysing the rates of

various items of works.

Analysis of rates for plastering work
For plastering work cement mix used is 1:4 i.e.
1 part of cement
4 part of fine aggregate ( sand)

Beside this other expenditure involved in concreting is

 Wages of majdoor, mason
 Overhead cost such as electricity, water etc.

Rate Analysis of Shuttering
Details of cost of shuttering for a room 4.50 x 3 = 13.50 sqm,
height 3.5 m
MATERIAL:
1. Plates (size 0.75x0.60) Angle 40x40x5mm
2x0.75= 1.50 m
2x0.60= 1.20 m
= 2.70 m @ 3.00 kg/m = 8.10 kg sheet
1.6 mm thick sheet
0.75x 0.60 = 0.45 sqm
0.45 sqm @ 12.55kg/sqm = 5.65kg
Weight of one plate = 13.75kg
Add for wastage @ 5% = 0.69 kg
Total = 14.44kg
Total weight of all plates = 5x6x14.44 = 433.20 kg.
Qty taken for cost using once = 433.2x0.85/40
= 9.2055 kg
Adding for maintenance @ 10% of cost
Taking salvage value after full use of material @
25% of cost
