Types Of Estimates
• To find rough cost of any project, this worked average unit cost is
multiplied with total quantity of the present work in the same units.
The rough cost estimate may be prepared on the following basis for different
types of projects:
1. Cost per square foot of covered area (plinth area) is the most commonly
adopted criterion for preparing rough cost estimate for most of the residential
buildings.
2. For public buildings, cost. Per person (cost per capita) is used. For example,
Sr.No PORTION
AREA Building Sanitary Electric Sui Gas
(sq. ft) Works Works Services Services
Main Flat Area
The quantities for each item may be estimated and shown in the
pattern which is called "Bill of quantities."
Each item of the work is then multiplied by its estimated current rate
calculated by a fixed procedure to find out cost of the item.
At the end, a total of all items of the work are made to get the total
estimated cost.
The rates are usually as per Schedule of Rates for the locality plus a
premium to allow for rise in labor and material rates over and above the
schedule of rates.
Carpet Area: Total usable area within the four walls of an apartment
or a commercial space, as the case may be. In other words, it refers
to the area for which a carpet can be laid if required by the owners.
Plinth Area: The entire carpet area along with the thickness of the
external walls of the apartment. It obviously includes the thickness of
the internal walls and the columns, if any, lying within the four walls
of an apartment. The commercial space is not taken into account in
calculating the plinth area.
Super Built-up Area: The plinth area of an apartment or a
commercial unit as added by the balconies and other common areas
like corridors, staircase, lift room, motor room, security room,
meeting hall, gymnasium and an area reserved for indoor games.
