Rate Build Up Lecture.

ONLINE SESSION BY QS CHIMA(QS ICON) : YQSF SOUTH EAST ZONE WHATSAPP PLATFORM
RATE ANALYSIS OF CONSTRUCTION WORK ITEMS
+234 703 059 0892: My name is QS. CHIMA Ikechukwu Samuel.

+234 703 059 0892: I am currently in Oyo State and I'm the Assistant General Secretary of
chapter
+234 703 059 0892: Firstly, I will to appreciate the Steering committee of this platform for
giving me the opportunity to lead this session.
+234 703 059 0892: For the next few days, I will be taking you through unit rate analysis
for building works and the likes
+234 703 059 0892: Remember, every one here are still under professional tutelage. If I
make mistaken, please correct me professionally.
+234 703 059 0892: The process of project cost estimation is central to setting up the
foundation for making key decisions, taking initiatives, budgeting activities and controlling
expenditures.
+234 703 059 0892: The necessity of calculating expenses consists in maintaining confidence
and trust that project activities are performed properly and as expected throughout the
entire project life-cycle.
+234 703 059 0892: Logical and reasonable cost estimates will allow the team to make
collaborative effort with a reduced probability of risk occurrence and failure because the
estimators use various efficient methodologies to fight uncertainty, prevent performance
bottlenecks, determine budget and control spending.
+234 703 059 0892: Because of time, let go straight into today business overview of unit rate
for Earthworks
+234 703 059 0892: Earthworks is under section 1.5 of BESMM 4 (Excavation and filling)
+234 703 059 0892: Cost Estimates for building or Engineering works comprises of:
Material cost
Labour cost
Equipment
1
Compiled by: KABEER OLOYEDE MAY 2020.
Profit & overhead cost

+234 703 059 0892: Please note: cost of materials, labour and equipment in the calculation
is basically obtainable here in Oyo State. Please update it to your location
+234 703 059 0892: Let Start with top soil excavation.
+234 703 059 0892: Top soil excavation is measured in m2 (see BESMM 4) stating the
average thickness to excavate
+234 703 059 0892: Please note, the output and constant in the calculation of the unit rate
was obtained from NIQS cost data bank @ www.niqsdatabank.org
(1)
+234 703 059 0892: Top soil excavation (m2)
Equipment
Bulldozer = 120,000.00
Low bed (50ton) = 75,000.00
Fuel = 35,000.00
Operator= 5,000.00
Assistant= 2,000.00
total = 237,000.00
Output of D6 Bulldozer per day = 1600m2

Allow 75% efficiency = 1600x0.75 = 1200m2
Therefore:
Cost per m2 = 237,000.00/1200
= 197.50
Add 5% WHT = 9.88
subtotal = 207.38
2
Add 20% p & o = 41.48
Cost/m2 = 248.86
Approximately #250/m2
+234 703 059 0892: Let take questions, comments and observation. Thanks
Kabeer Oloyede: Any consideration for soil of different formation?
Maybe hard strata, other than normal loamy or Sandy area?
+234 703 059 0892: Thanks for that question
+234 703 059 0892: The output provided for Dozer is average output
+234 706 319 0261: Bulldozer=120,000.00 or 12000.00 and is this constant
+234 703 059 0892: 120,000 per day. Thanks
+234 706 319 0261: Low bed (50ton) =75,000:00 is this constant
+234 816 127 0482: Please can you elaborate a bit on that 75% efficiency?
+234 703 059 0892: Low bed is the truck or motor that will carry the dozer to site. 75k is
the cost of to and fro within Ibadan
+234 816 854 3896: Basically the plant can not be 100% efficient Due to the nature because
it can neither be predicted
+254 708 743284: And also the operator, he could answer some phone calls and pause, or
even pause for some puffs, the machine may also require some fuel top up and such
+254 708 743284: Or should the operator's efficiency be considered separately?
+234 703 059 0892: Can we move to Excavation
+234 703 059 0892: What does WHT stand for
+234 703 059 0892: Why is it necessary
+234 703 059 0892: WHT stand for withholding tax
+234 806 981 8812: Good one bro, Thank you for this wonderful presentation.

However, I'd like you to include or tell us where you intend to consider VAT allowance in
the estimate?
+234 703 059 0892: A withholding tax is an amount that an employer withholds from
employees’ wages and pays directly to the government
+234 703 059 0892: VAT is to be added at general summary.
+234 806 981 8812: Thanks. It's important as you have told us here because a second option
could be to include it with individual rates.
+254 708 743284: Why is WHT necessary
+234 703 059 0892: This method enables the client or employer to know the actual amount
of VAT in the bill
+234 703 059 0892: A withholding tax is an amount that an employer withholds from
employees’ wages and pays directly to the government
+234 703 059 0892: In every interim certificate, Federal inland revenue do deduct WHT of
5% from the amount due to the contractor
+234 703 059 0892: This amount must be built in into the unit rate.
(2)
+234 703 059 0892: Excavation
+234 703 059 0892: *Laborer basic cost*

General Labour = 2000
Skilled Iabour = 3500
321
Working hour = 8 hours
+234 703 059 0892: Oyo State only
+234 703 059 0892: Excavation (m3)
labour output = 3.5m3/day
General labour = 2000:00
Tools (Digger & Shovel) = 200:00
4
total = 2200:00
Therefore:
Unit rate = 2200.00/3.5
= 628.57
Add 5% WHT = 31.43
subtotal = 660.00
Add 20% p & o = 132.00
Cost/m3 = 792.00
+234 806 981 8812: In addition, this is one-way government adopt to collect taxes from its
citizens from source instead of going to their individual houses to drive tax. At the end, the
employee is entitled to an evidence of payment which will be presented to government for
tax certificate.
(3)
+234 703 059 0892: Disposal n.e 1.00m from excavation (m3)
General labour output = 5m3/day

total = 2200:00
Therefore:
Unit rate = 2200.00/5
= 440.00
Add 5% WHT = 22.00
5
subtotal = 462.00
Add 20% p & o = 92.40
Cost/m3 = 554.40
(4)
+234 703 059 0892: Backfilling side of excavation (m3)
General labour output = 8m3/day

total = 2200:00
Therefore:
Unit rate = 2200.00/8
= 275.00
Add 5% WHT = 13.75
subtotal = 288.75
Add 20% p & o = 57.75
Cost/m3 = 346.50
(5)
+234 703 059 0892: Next is Imported Filling
+234 706 319 0261: BESSM4 remove backfilling, should back filling still included in the
bill?
+234 703 059 0892: Remember, filling under floor can be either laterite or sand filling.
+234 703 059 0892: It is only Level and compacting that was deemed included in the
excavation
6
+234 703 059 0892: Except in special case where it will be required. That will come under
variation
+234 703 059 0892: BESMM 4 has removed earthworks support
+234 703 059 0892: Laterite earth filling (m3)
Material cost
Note: Laterite is being sold in tonnage and 1m3 of laterite = 1.95ton
Density of laterite varies btw 1095-1350kg/m3
I assume 1300kg/m3
= 1.3tons x 50% = 1.95tons
*Or*
1m3 x 50% / (3.81)
= 1 x 1.5/3.81
=0.39load of 5tons
= 0.39 x 5 = 1.96tons
Let use option 1
Basic cost of laterite here in Ibadan is 15000 per 10tons lorry load
= 1500per tonnage
Therefore:
1.95tons @ 1500 = 2925
Equipment
Compactor (30m3/day at 15,000 (for machine, operator & fueling)
Therefore
Cost per m3 = 15,000/30
500
7
Labour (Spreading & Leveling) = 5m3/day

Shovel & wheelbarrow = 400
Total = 2400
Cost per m3 = 2400/5
480
Summary
Material = 2925
Compactor = 500
Labour = 480
total = 3905.00
Add 5% WHT = 195.25
subtotal = 4100.25
Add 20% p & o = 820.05
Cost/m3 = 4920.30
+234 703 059 0892: Then the architect will issue instructions to that effect
+234 703 059 0892: Both the CQS and PQS will agree on fair rate for the item
+234 816 775 0629: Please Sir, this is mechanical method of excavation?
(6)
+234 703 059 0892: Granite hardcore (m3)
8
Material cost
Note: Hardcore is being sold in tonnage and 1m3 of hardcore = 1.76ton
Density of granite 1600kg/m3
Add 10% = 0.16
= 1.76tons
Basic cost of hardcore here in Ibadan is 90,000 per 20 tons lorry load
= 4500per tonnage
Therefore:
1.76tons @ 4500 = 7920
Labour (Laying) = 7m3/day

wheelbarrow = 300
Total = 2300
Cost per m3 = 2300/7
328.57
Summary
Material = 7920
Labour = 328.57
total = 8248.57
Add 5% WHT = 412.42
subtotal = 8660.99
Add 20% p & o = 1732.20
Cost/m3 =10,390.20
Approximately #10,400/m3

+234 703 059 0892: Tomorrow I will continue with concrete work, masonry work, DPM,
BRC wire mesh and roof covering
+234 703 059 0892: Thanks
+234 703 059 0892: My name again is Qs. CHIMA Ikechukwu Samuel.
+254 708 743284: And allow me to ask is the rate you get at the end the cost per say one
laborer/plant?
To mean when you divide with the actual project, the price you get is for when you are
using one worker?
+234 703 545 1166: With the ideas developed, so are we to say that;
1)The WHT is deducted from payment due to the contractor and paid directly to
government by the client and VAT is paid to the contractor?
2)WHT should be added to unit rates during tendering, so as to upset the deduction Later.
Thus making ingredients of unit rates Materials, Labour, Plant, WHT, Overhead and
Profit?
3)We can see WHT as tax paid on behalf of the contractor to the government by the client
and VAT as Tax paid directly to the government by the contractor?
4)Does it mean WHT is a subset of VAT? Does it mean one is pay directly while the other is
paid indirectly, and later reconciled to avoid excess taxation?
Is the 5% part of the 7.5%?
5)This shows at the end of the day the client is paying 12.5% of contract value as tax to the
government?
6)A communique for our interactions Will Also Show an effect on our Valuation Summary
such that After arriving at total sum of work done, Retention will have to be deducted,
withholding tax deducted also then VAT added to arrive at payment due to the contractor?
+234 703 059 0892: Without wasting time let start with *WITHHOLDING TAX VS VAT*
+234 703 059 0892: Please note that WHT is different from VAT not only on percentage
variation but also on the mechanic of its concept and application
10
+234 703 059 0892: The WHT system is aimed at tracking down taxpayers and the
incomes which may otherwise not be reported by them.
+234 703 059 0892: When the income on which WHT is deducted at source is finally
brought to the notice of the tax authority and the appropriate tax computed, due credit is
given for the WHT deducted at source on the presentation of the original WHT receipts
through the issuance of credit notes.
+234 703 059 0892: VAT is a different type of tax. VAT is a consumption tax payable on
the goods and services consumed by any person, whether government agencies, business
organizations or individuals.
+234 703 059 0892: The applicable rate for commissions/fees is ten percent (10%) for
limited liability companies, and five percent (5%) for individuals and partnerships.
+234 703 059 0892: Withholding Tax is an advance payment of income tax and the
purpose is to bring the prospective taxpayer to the tax net, thereby widening the income tax
base.
+234 703 059 0892: When the income, which suffered withholding tax as deduction at
source, is finally brought to the notice of the tax authority and appropriate tax is
computed, credit is given for the tax deducted. The taxpayer will be required to pay only
the balance of the tax due (if any). WHT is meant to curb income tax evasion and it is not a
separate tax on its own.
+234 703 059 0892: Withholding taxes are to be paid to FIRS designated collecting banks.
The payment should be accompanied with a schedule showing the following details:
▪️Name of each contractor
▪️Taxpayer Identification Number of each contractor
▪️The gross value of the contract
▪️The amount of tax withheld.
+234 703 059 0892: *Note*

When a Government or her agent advertise a project requesting prospective contractor to
tender. Some conditions are attached which includes the following:
➖Evidence of reg. with CAC
➖ Current Pencom certificate
➖ Current Tax clearance certificate
➖ Three years audited account
11
etc
+234 703 059 0892: Now, before the tax authority can issue Tax clearance certificate, the
contractor will be required to provide audited account of the company, including evidence
of payment of WHT (if any).
This will enable them to compute the actual amount the company will pay for the year.
+234 703 059 0892: From the audited account, the tax authority will know the turnover of
the company, the work executed and amount paid.
+234 703 059 0892: The actual amount paid as *Withholding tax* will now depend on the
company turnover.
+234 703 059 0892: The company and her auditor have to agreed on the project to be
declared in the annual turnover.
+234 703 059 0892: But note that each of the project government or her agent advertised
has a target annual turnover which each prospective contractor must have before
tendering for the project.
+234 703 059 0892: For example, if the instructions to tender stated at least 50millon
annual turnover, only contractor within that range can tender. Some one with 40millio or
less can not tender
+234 703 059 0892: This makes must of the companies to declare a turnover up to the
amount required or beyond for other project of higher turnover.
+234 703 059 0892: The high the numbers of project or contract sum declared, the higher
the company turnover and the company will stand better chance to tender for more
project. Who knows the likely project to be win by the company.
+234 703 059 0892: I tendered for a federal government project here in Ibadan last year
December, our company was disqualified because our turnover was lower than what was
expected
+234 703 059 0892: For the reasons above, I strongly advice all Quantity Surveyors in the
house to sensitize our client (contractor) on the implication of WHT for the development of
the company.
+234 703 059 0892: If a contractor included a project in his turnover, and the unit rate
didn't include WHT, it simply means that he is losing 5% of his profit to government
+234 703 059 0892: For a contractor who is not willing to tender for any governmental or
corporate organization project, he might escape WHT
+234 703 059 0892: On the issue of, *"_if WHT should be included in the general summary
or built-up in the unit rate_"*
12
For Government projects, you can include it in the general summary but for individual
project that will be declared in the turnover, built it into the unit rate where the client will
not have access to it.
+234 703 059 0892: Any questions, clarification or addition to above
+234 703 545 1166: Thanks amiable QS, to clarify this, it means the withholding tax is
deducted at the valuation stage and paid by the client to the govt on behalf of the
contractor?
+234 703 059 0892: Yes, but the contractor must collect evidence of payment to enable him
stand a change for tax clearance certificate
+234 703 545 1166: And this means that to be cleared of tax (tax clearance certificate) the
contractor must have met up with both WHT and VAT
+254 708 743284: In Kenya we only have the VAT of 16%
+234 703 059 0892: Can we continue with *overview of unit rate*?
+234 703 059 0892: Before I continue, I like to speak on percentage *_profit and
overhead_*
+234 703 059 0892: It includes VAT and WHT
+234 703 545 1166: Please Chief we will appreciate the distinctive differences between Wht
and VAT in both administration and usage
+234 703 059 0892: Some state government project also charge 16% for both
+234 703 059 0892: Both are for the benefit of the government. VAT is for the project
While WHT is for the company executing the contract. But to be save from this cost, it is
advisable to factor it into the unit rate
+234 703 545 1166: Invariably both will be paid by the client, thus increasing the client's
tax on the project to 12.5% of the contract sum
+234 703 059 0892: Provided if it was built in the unit rate. No client will be happy that
you are using his money to pay for your company income tax
+234 703 059 0892: Also, on percentage to be included as profit and overhead.
No specific percentage for P&O. It depends on the company pricing policy. Some
companies take 40%, 30%, 25%, 20%, 15% even as low as 7.5%.

+234 703 059 0892: BRC wire mesh come with different sizes per roll. The size varies in
price and covering area.
Pls check the actual specifications in the BOQ before pricing this items.
The prices of some BRC in Ibadan is as follows:

15x2.1x3.5mm = 12k per roll

Pls note: The price of reinforcement bar varies with size. Rft could be local or imported
(Tigre TMT)
The average cost of the bar in the BOQ will used for the computation of the unit rate or the
cost of Y10 or Y8 which is usually higher due to it's number per tonnage.
For binding wire, 13kg is needed per tonnage. Cost per roll depend on the weight of wire in
a roll.
