LEARNING FOCUS:

Quantity surveying is primarily centered on construction and

the management of the costs and budgets of large and small
projects. From the moment a plan is drawn until a construction
project has been completed, a quantity surveyor is likely to be
involved in a legal, technical and financial capacity. The
functions of a quantity surveyor are broadly concerned with
the control of the cost on construction projects, the
management and maintenance of the budget, valuations and
any legal matters arising through the course of the project.
They are required to make sure that the project remains
profitable, efficient, and effective utilization of resources
(materials, manpower and money).
It also requires to have an up-to-date information of market,
tools, and equipments to help in planning and scheduling of
construction activities and resource allocation.

Risk analysis is an area which should be thoroughly studies to

become a successful quantity surveyor. The quantity surveyor
should be able to asses the risk involved and be able to decide
whether it should be retained or transferred.

MANUAL EXCAVATION
ITEM OF WORK: STRUCTURAL EXCAVATION
Quantity, Volume of excavation:

V=No. of Footings x depth x length x width

For footing C1-F1, For footing 2C1-F2,

No. of Footings: 7 units
Depth: 1.80 m
Length x Width: 1.80m x 1.80m
V1=7 x 1.80m x 1.80m x 1.80m
V1= 40.824 cu.m.
No. of Footings:3 units
Depth: 1.80 m
Length x Width: 2.80m x 1.80m
V2=3 x 1.80m x 2.80m x 1.80m
V2= 27.216 cu.m.
 Vexc= V1 + V2
Vexc= 40.824 + 27.216
Vexc= 68.04 cu.m.
Productivity rate:
1 laborer: 6 man hour/ cu.m
Vexc= 68.04 cu.m. x 6 man hour/ cu.m *Note: 1 man day
equivalent to 8 man
= 408.24 man hours x 1 man day/ 8 man hours hours
= 51.03 man days

Considering 7 laborers,
= 51.03 man days/7 laborers
7 laborers = 7.29 man days say 7.5 days to excavate Vexc= 68.04 cu.m.
