CONTRUCTION ESTIMATING BUILD UP RATE

BEAM

1. Description: Excavate for ground beam not exceeding 1.50 deep

Assumption List

Hire of excavator (including diesel, operator) = RM 550.00 per day

Hire of dumper = RM 250.00 per day Number of excavator used = 1

Number of dumper used = 1 Output for trench excavation

Output of excavator = 10 m3 per hour

Output of dumper = 12 m3 per hour

Labourer gang for excavation (1:1) = 1 banksman & 1 unskilled labourer

Labourer gang for dumpling (1:1) = 1 banksman & 1 unskilled labourer

Wage of a banksman = RM 90.00 per day

Wage of an unskilled labourer = RM 55.00 per day

Working hours = 8 hours per day

Profit and overhead = 10%

Build-Up Rate

Labour Cost

(A) Excavation

Wage of banksman per m3 = 1 x (RM 90.00 / 8 hours) / 10 m3 = 1.13

Wage of unskilled labourer per m3 = 1 x (Rm 55.00 / 8 hours) / 10 m3 = 0.69

Cost of labour to excavate 1 m3 of earth = 1.82
