PROJECT OVERVIEW
Project Introduction:
Ellison Elementary School Daycare is a single storied day-care building project in Windsor, Ontario. The scope
of work includes the Civil, structural and architectural development. The gross floor area of the day-care centre
is 566m2. The building is to be constructed in 2023. We have the drawings provided in the RFT of the building
which is used for all the calculation of Conceptual cost estimate, Elemental estimate and Quantity Take-off.
For elemental cost estimate we need a reference project for that we have considered a school project in Vancouver
by Turner and Townsend.

CONCEPTUAL COST ESTIMATE
(Report by Keerthi Gaddam and Katanguri Vishwa Teja Reddy)
The conceptual cost estimate is done at an early stage of the project even before planning. For doing this we need
historical data on similar kinds of projects. Conceptual cost estimating helps establish preliminary costs that can
be used to guide budget planning and decision-making. The historic data need to be adjusted in terms of
1. Time
2. Location
3. Capacity
For Conceptual estimation, we found a similar project to our project in British Columbia done by Turner
&Townsend. The known details of the previous project and the present project
Link : https://wood-works.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/CWC-Cost_Comparison.12.pdf
Table 1 projects details for adjustments
To calculate the cost estimate, we need to adjust the location time and capacity.
1. Time adjustment
Time adjustment is a method used to adjust cost estimates to account for changes in the time frame of a project.
This adjustment is made to account for changes in labour, materials, equipment, and other costs that may occur
over time because of inflation and deflation.
Cost in Year A Cost index for Year A
We know, = Cost index for Year B
Cost in Year B
Cost in Year A X Cost index for Year B

Cost in Year B = Cost index for Year A
As we do not have an index in 2023, we will do a step where we find annualized rate (i) from known year indexes
and then find the index for 2023. From Fig.1, the statistics are taken as predictions from 2009 to 2016, from that
we got an index for 2009 of 180.1 and an index for 2016 is 207.3 and the number of years between selected years
is 7.
4|Page
For the Annualized rate (i)
F = P(1+i)n
Where F = future value
P = present value
n = number of years
𝐹 (1/n)
i = [ 𝑃 ] +1
Here, n= 7, FV = 207.3, PV = 180.1

207.3
i = [ 180.1 ](1/7) +1
= 0.0202 = 2.02%
Between 2004 and 2023, there are 19 years so n for time adjustment is 19 (n=19)
2. Capacity adjustment
The size of the project in Vancouver, British Columbia = 13,332m2, and the size of the project in Windsor,
Ontario = 566m2
3. Location adjustment
Location adjustment is done to the project for adjusting the cost estimates based on location.
Cost in Vancouver Cost index in Vancouver
We know, Cost in Windsor = Cost index in Windsor
Cost index in windsor X Cost in Vancouver

Cost in Windsor = Cost index in Vancouver
From the location index of Vancouver, British Columbia is 106, and Windsor, Ontario = 102.2
From Tab.1 we know the cost of the known project in Vancouver which is $43,430,000.
Combined Adjustment
After finding all the indices and everything we will know combine everything to get a combined estimate
Proposed Cost = Previous Project Cost X Time Adjustment X Location Adjustment X Size Adjustment
102.2 566
= 43430000 X (1+0.0202)(1/19) X X 13332
106
= $1,779,561.93
So, the total CONCEPTUAL COST ESTIMATE of the project is $1,779,561.93.

ELEMENTAL COST ESTIMATE
(Report by Ashwani Sharma)
Elemental cost estimation is done in two phases:
1- Elemental Analysis
2- Elemental Estimate
Elemental Analysis
For elemental analysis, we tried to search for projects that are similar to the selected project. We were able to find
one project done by Turner & Townsend in British Columbia. (Keerthi) found a project which is similar to the
school project that we selected. Once we finalized the project for elemental Analysis we followed the below steps:
Step 1: Calculation of GFA and Total cost of the project

We Review the report from Turner & Townsend to determine the
Gross Floor area for their project and the overall cost related to
that.
Using the below report
GFA = 13,332 sq. m.
Total Cost = $ 43,430,000
Step 2: Mapping Elements as per Uniformat

We started with mapping the elements to the respective Uniformat
codes and generate the table below with all the codes
Taking an example of A – Substructure from Uniformat

• Foundation belongs to A1010
• Slab on Grade belongs to A1030
• Basement excavation belongs to A2010
Using the same process, we developed the whole table with the scope
breakdown and provide the Uniformat codes.
Step 3: Quantity and Cost

For all the elements we review the report from Turner & Townsend
to determine the Quantity and the cost associated with it.
Taking an example of A – Substructure we create a table for the quantities. We calculated the quantities for
the Uniformat level 3 elements and updated the respective subtotal associated with it as per the table below.
Elemental amount
Elemental Cost Summary Quantity Unit Unit Rate Subtotal Total
A Substructure $ 887,796.00
A1010 Foundation 3523 m2 $ $ 616,525.00
175.00
A1030 Slab on Grade 3523 m2 $ $ 271,271.00
77.00
A2010 Basement excavation 0 m3 $ - $ -
Step 4: Total cost for Major elements

Once we have the subtotal cost for the respective elements, we proceeded with the calculation of the Total cost
for the Major element from Uniformat. Below is a sample calculation that we did to calculate the total cost.
• Total Cost of “A Substructure”
We sum all the sub-element's costs together like Foundation, Slab on grade, and Basement excavation
6|Page
Total Cost A Substructure = Subtotal of Foundation + Slab on grade + Basement excavation
Total Cost A Substructure = $ 616,525 + $ 271,271 + $ 0
Total Cost A Substructure = $ 887,796.00
Similarly, we calculated the Total cost for every major element as per above table.
Step 5: For each element (Uniformat level 3) calculation of Ratio to GFA, Unit rate, and Rate per GFA
1- Ratio to GFA:
For the calculation of the Ratio to GFA we divide the quantity of the element by the total GFA of the
building to get the ratio for that element as compared to the building for the quantity.
Example: To calculate the Ration to GFA for A Substructure element we consider individual elements
and divide the quantity by the total GFA of the building.
• Foundation
Ration to GFA for Foundation = Quantity of the foundation / Total GFA
Ration to GFA for Foundation = 3523 / 13,332
Ration to GFA for Foundation = 0.26
2- Unit rate:
For Unit rate calculation we take the subtotal of the element and divide it by the total quantity of the
element. This gives us the per-unit rate for each element.
Example:
• Foundation
Unit rate for Foundation = Subtotal of foundation /Quantity of the foundation
Unit rate for Foundation = 616525 / 3523
Unit rate for Foundation = $ 175
3- Rate per GFA:

For the Rate per GFA, we divide the element subtotal by the total GFA of the building.
Example:
• Foundation
Rate per GFA for Foundation = Subtotal of foundation / Total GFA
Rate per GFA for Foundation = 616,525 / 13,332
Rate per GFA for Foundation = $46.24
Using the same process, we calculated the Ratio of GFA, Unit rate & Rate per GFA for all the elements as per
the below table:
Elemental amount Rate per sq. m.

Elemental Cost Summary Ratio to Quantity Unit Unit Rate Subtotal Total
GFA Subtotal Total
A Substructure $ 887,796.00
A1010 Foundation 0.26 3523 m2 $ 175.00 $616,525.00 $ 46.24
A1030 Slab on Grade 0.26 3523 m2 $ 77.00 $271,271.00 $ 20.35
A2010 Basement excavation 0.00 0 m3 $ - $ - $ -
Step 6: For each major element (Uniformat Level1) calculate the Rate of GFA/sq.m. & % Rate per total
cost
1- Rate of GFA/sq.m
To calculate the rate of GFA/ sq.m. we take the Total cost of the major element as per Uniformat Level 1
and divide it by the total GFA of the building.
7|Page
Example:
• A Substructure
Rate of GFA for A Substructure = Total Cost A Substructure / Total GFA
Rate of GFA for A Substructure = 887,796 / 13,332
Rate of GFA for A Substructure = $ 66.59
Using the same process, we calculated the Rate of GFA for all the elements as per the below table:
Elemental amount Rate per sq. m.

Elemental Cost Summary Ratio Quantity Unit Unit Rate Subtotal Total Subtotal Total %
to
GFA
A Substructure $ 887,796.00 $ 66.59 2.04%
A1010 Foundation 0.26 3523 m2 $ 175.00 $616,525.00 $ 46.24
A1030 Slab on Grade 0.26 3523 m2 $ 77.00 $271,271.00 $ 20.35
A2010 Basement excavation 0.00 0 m3 $ - $ - $ -
2- % Rate per Total cost
To calculate the % rate we take the Total cost of the major element as per Uniformat Level 1 and divide
it by the total cost of the building i.e $ 43,430,000.00.
Example:
• A Substructure
% Rate for A Substructure = (Total Cost A Substructure / Total Cost of the building) x 100
% Rate for A Substructure = (887,796 / 43,430,000) x 100
% Rate for A Substructure = 2.04%
Using the same process, we calculated the Ratio per GFA for all the elements as per the above table.
After completing all six steps of the Elemental Analysis of the Turner & Townsend project we created the
below table with all the details
8|Page
Elemental Estimate
(Report by Ashwani Sharma)
Step 0: Previous project Elemental Cost Summary
We take the Elemental Cost Summary report prepared for Turner & Townsend project above. We clear the data
from the table only retaining the below-mentioned columns.
1- Ration to GFA
2- Unit
3- Elemental Unit Rate
Step 1: Update GFA

We updated the Gross Floor area of the table as per the
new building GFA i.e. 566 m2.
Step 2: Update Ratio to GFA

We updated the column Ratio to GFA with the scopes
that are not included in the new project and highlighted
the Elements in RED.
Step 3: Calculation of Quantities
We start by calculating the quantities of the project
using the Ratio to GFA from the previous project and
multiplying it by the GFA of the new project.
Example:
Foundation - Quantity of Foundation = Ratio to GFA
of Foundation x new project GFA = 0.26 x 566 =
147.16
Once we have calculated all the quantities for the new
project we check for the elements that require the
whole number like door windows and round it up or
down to the nearest integer.
Step 4: Sub-Total Cost of each Element

(Uniformat Level 3) & Total Cost (Uniformat Level 1)
Sub-Total Cost of each Element (Uniformat Level 3)
As we have the quantities of the new project and the Unit rate
from the previous project. We multiply both values to get the sub-
total cost for each element.
Example:
Foundation - Sub-Total of Foundation = Quantity of Foundation
x Unit Rate = 147.16 x 175 = $ 25,753.00
Similarly, we calculate the Sub-Total cost for all the elements.
Total Cost (Uniformat Level 1)

Once we have the subtotal cost for the respective elements, we
proceeded with the calculation of the Total cost for the Major element from Uniformat. Below is a sample
calculation that we did to calculate the total cost.
9|Page
• Total Cost of “A Substructure”
We sum all the sub-element's costs together like Foundation, Slab on
grade, and Basement excavation
Total Cost A Substructure = Subtotal of Foundation + Slab on grade +
Basement excavation = $ 25,753 + $ 11,331.32 + $ 0 = $ 37,084.32
Similarly, we calculate the Sub-Total cost for all the elements at
Uniformat level 1.
Step 5: Rate per Sq. m.

For the Rate per GFA, we divide the element subtotal by the total GFA
of the building.
Example:
Foundation - Rate per GFA for Foundation = Subtotal of foundation /
Total GFA = 25,753 / 566 = $ 45.50
Using the same process, we calculated the Ratio per GFA for all the
elements as per the below table:
Step 6: Add Contingencies

We add Design, Escalation, and Construction contingencies to the total
cost of the project.
The total cost of the project before contingencies is $ 972,177.82.
• Design Contingency:
Design Contingency = 10% x Total project cost = 0.1 x 972,177.82 = $ 97,217.78
• Escalation Contingency:
Escalation Contingency = 5% x Total project cost = 0.05 x 972,177.82 = $ 48,608.89
• Construction Contingency:
Construction Contingency = 5% x Total project cost = 0.05 x 972,177.82 = $ 48,608.89
The Total Contingency of the project is the sum of all the above = $ 97,217.78 + $ 48,608.89 + $ 48,608.89
= $ 194,435.57
Step 7: For each major element (Uniformat Level1) calculate the Rate of GFA/sq.m. & % Rate per total
cost
1. Rate of GFA/sq.m
To calculate the rate of GFA/ sq.m. we take the Total cost of the
major element as per Uniformat Level 1 and divide it by the total
GFA of the building.
Example:
A Substructure - Rate of GFA for A Substructure = Total Cost
A Substructure / Total GFA = 37,084.32 / 566 = $ 65.52
Using the same process, we calculated the Rate of GFA for all
the elements as per the below table:
2. % Rate per Total cost

To calculate the % rate we take the Total cost of the major element as per Uniformat Level 1 and divide it by the
total cost of the building i.e $ 1,166,613.39.
Example:A Substructure - % Rate for A Substructure = (Total Cost A Substructure / Total Cost of the building)
x 100 = (37,084.32 / 1,166,613.39) x 100 = 3.18%
Using the same process, we calculated the %Rate for all the elements as per the above table.
As per the above calculations, the TOTAL ELEMENTAL COST of the Project is $ 1,166,613.39

QUANTITY TAKEOFF (Calculation)
Excavation: (Report by Katanguri Vishwa Teja Reddy)
For Foundations
The Depth of the foundation is 600mm as mentioned in Sheet S 3.1 and excavation is to be done for 600mm
depth.
• Area of the site (With the added cover of 1.0m on each
side for accessibility) (Reference:
https://ohsguide.ihsa.ca/en/topic/excavation.html )
= 26900mm X 27400mm = 737,060,000mm2.
• Total Area of the site = 737.060m2.
• Depth of foundation = 600mm=0.6m.
• Volume for the excavation =737.060 X 0.6 =
442.236m3
Strip Footing
Formwork
• The formwork for strip footing is providing plates for both sides of the footing.
• The Perimeter of formwork from the outer side = 24900+25400+24900+25400+23700+23700 =
148000mm = 148.000m.
• The Perimeter of formwork from the inner side =
23700+23700+24200+24200+23700+23700 =
143200mm = 143.200m.
• Height of the formwork plate = 250mm = 0.25m.
• The area of the formwork = (148+143.2) X 0.25 =
72.8m2.
• The running length of formwork for slab footing=
9300+9300+9300+9300 = 37200mm.
• Height of the formwork plate = 250mm = 0.25m.
• The area of the formwork = 37.2 X 0.25 = 9.3m2.
• Total Area of formwork for footings = 72.8+9.3 =
82.1m2
Steel
• The strip footing is reinforced with the 3 15M bars spaced at a distance of 225mm with a cover length of
75mm (Given in Sheets S 2.1 and S 3.1).
• The length of the steel is also the same as the running length of the footing (Cover length is reduced) =
24750+25250+24750+25250+24750+24750 = 149500mm.
• The total steel length for footing = 149.5m X 3bars = 448.5m.
• The weight of steel can be calculated by knowing the details of the 15M bar.
• The nominal diameter is 16mm with weight/m = 1.57kg/m and a cross sectional area of 200mm2.
• The weight of the steel = 448.5 X 1.57 = 704.145 kg= 0.704 ton.
• The strip footing is reinforced with the 3 15M bars ((Given in Sheets S 2.1)
• The running length of the steel in slab footing = 9300+9300 = 18600mm = 18.6m.
• The total steel length for footing = 18.6m X 3bars = 55.8m.
• The weight of the steel = 55.8 X 1.57 = 87.606 kg= 0.0876 ton

Structural Wall Framing: (Report by Shrinivas Haribhau Satpute)
1. Introduction:
While quantifying the elements of structural wall framing, the following four types of wall compositions are to
be considered. Sheet A0.2 Architectural Plan
Fig 1.1 Exterior Walls Composition Fig 1.2 Interior Walls Composition
The Exterior walls EW1 and EW2 have similar structural components, thus they are to be considered as one
EW. The interior walls PW1 and PW2 are to be considered separately.
To calculate the lengths, area, and structural components of the walls, we need information on various openings
and their dimensions. Table 1.1 shows various types of windows and doors along with their dimensions.
(Source: Sheet A8.0 Architectural Plan)
Table 1.2 - Lengths of the walls

The lengths of the walls calculated from the floor plan given on the Architectural Plan Sheet A2.1-A are above.

A. Length of the top plate in EW:
• As per the requirements there are two top plates of size

38x140 mm.
• The length of the top plate is equal to the gross length of
the EW.

122.28 m = 244.56 m
(Source: Sheet S1.1 & S1.2 Structural Plan)
B. Length of the bottom plate in EW:
18 | P a g e
• The length of the bottom plate is equal to the gross length of the EW.
• Thus, the length of the bottom plate = 1 x 122.28 m = 122.28 m
C. Studs in EW:
• Studs are spaced at 350mm O.C. throughout the length of the Exterior wall.
• While calculating the number of studs, larger openings are removed from the walls and the net
length of the EW is considered.
• The size of the studs is 38x140x2759 mm, where 2759 mm is the clear height.
• The total number of studs = 94,719 mm / 350 mm = 271 ea.
D. Sheathing Panels and Batt Insulation in EW:
• Sheathing and batt insulation area of the Exterior wall is calculated by removing the area of the
openings from the gross area of the EW.
• Based on the information given in Table 1.1, the Area of the Openings = 71,483,017 mm².
• The gross area of the EW is calculated by multiplying the gross length of the EW by the clear height,
which gives the Gross Area of EW = 337,370,520 mm².
• The net area of R-24 Batt Insulation is = 337,370,520 - 71,483,017 = 265,887,503 mm² or 265.89
m².

B. Length of the bottom plate in PW1:
• The length of the bottom plate is equal to the gross length of the PW1.
• Thus, the length of the bottom plate = 1 x 61.61 m = 61.61 m
C. Studs in PW1:
• Studs are spaced at 350mm O.C. throughout the length of the wall.
• While calculating the number of studs, larger openings are removed from the walls and the net
length of the PW1 is considered.
• The size of the studs is 38x89x2759 mm, where 2759 mm is the clear height.
• The total number of studs = 53,381 mm / 350 mm = 152 ea.
D. Jamb Studs in PW1:

• The size of the blocking member is 28x89 mm.
• The length of the blocking member in PW1 = 2 x 53,381mm = 106,762 mm or 106.76 m.
Interior Wall (PW2): (Report by Shrinivas Haribhau Satpute)
The calculations of the PW2 are the same as the calculations in PW1. The only significant difference is in the
size of the members used. The size of the stud, top plate, bottom plate, jamb studs, and blocking is 38x140 mm.
2. Summarizing all the estimates in a table:
Table 5.1 - Estimation Summary
ROOF: (Report by Keerthi Gaddam)

To estimate the roof first the different sections of the roof were identified from the given drawing which is as per
sheet A2.0 which shows the section of the roof and the detailing. The roof is having 4 layers in this project which
are
1. Asphalt shingles
2. Self-adhered waterproof membrane
3. Plywood sheathing
4. Pre-engineered truss
Figure 1 layers of R1 roof type
Now, calculating the quantity for the roof quantities for different materials should be done. The following steps
are for the calculation of roof materials.
1. Pre-engineered truss
First, the trusses are pre-engineered in our project, we are having 2 different kinds of trusses one is Full span
and the other is half span and we are calculating the quantities of both trusses.

Rise of king post = 12*12500 + 450 = 2583.33mm
3. Hypotenuse of the triangle is the length of the rafter.

similarly w4 = w6 = 2635.57mm , w8 = w10 = 2238mm, w12 = w14 = 1935.90mm

4. About drawing A4.0-A overhang is 635mm
Total length of truss = span +2* (total webs + rafters + overhang) + king post
= 25000+52318.51+25344.8+1270+2583.33=106.516m
So, the length of each full-span truss is 106.516m
R2 ROOF TRUSS TYPE 2: (Report by Keerthi Gaddam)
For calculating the total length of the half-span truss the following steps are done.
1. The total span of the truss = 10000+110 = 10110mm as in drawing sheet A6.1-A
2. 2:12 roof pitch
Heel height = 450mm as in drawing A6.1-A

similarly, w8 = w6 = 2154.16mm, w10 = w12 = 1836.66mm
5. About drawing A4.0-A overhang is 635mm
Total length of truss = span +2* (total webs + rafters + 2*overhang + king post)
= 10110+2*(19251.623+10675+1270+2135) = 76.77324m
The total length of half span truss is 76.773m
As the two different trusses will be installed in two different sections of the building the area is divided into 2
sections. Section S1 will have full-span trusses and section S2 will have half-
span trusses as shown in
Fig.6
Now, we need to know number of trusses for each section of the area.Fig 7 shows the portion of the roof that is
having a cut-out of 800mm as per drawing A3.0-A. So, from section A the truss type is Truss 2 and continues
with Truss 1 until section C and from section C to section D it is Truss 2 again.
From drawing A3.0-A Length from section A to section C is 14700mm & Length from section A to section C is
9800mm. Assuming the spacing between trusses is 609mm referred from

Now, no. of trusses = 𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠+1

Since we have 26 full-span trusses

Truss length for 26 trusses including overhang = 26*106516 = 2769.416m
Since we have 17 half-span trusses
Truss length for 17 trusses including overhang = 17*76773.24mm = 1305.145m
The total wood required for trusses is 4074.561m.
After calculating the truss material, the next one is plywood sheathing.
PLYWOOD SHEATHING FOR ROOF: (Report by Keerthi Gaddam)
For estimating the plywood material for the roof, the area of the roof is divided into 3 different rectangles for
easy calculation which are P1, P2, & P3.
The widths are taken from reference to sheet A4.0-A
Area of the roof (P1) = Hypotenuse length of roof x width =
12672.4*16270 = 206.179948m2
Similarly, the Area of the roof (P2) = 10675*9800 = 104.615000m2

Similarly, No. of sheathings (p2) = 36
No. of sheathings is multiplied by 2 as the total roof area is divided

into 2 equal portions of P1 & P2
The total no. of sheathings = 2*(P1+P2) = 210

In total 621.59m2 of are needed to be covered by plywood sheathings for the roof.
BITUMEN WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE: (Report by Keerthi Gaddam)

After estimating the plywood sheathings, the plywood layer is then layered with a bitumen membrane. To
estimate the bitumen membrane quantity, we need to know the sloped roof area of the building which was
already estimated when estimating the plywood sheathing.
The total area of roof will be 2(area of P1+ area of P2) = 2(206.180+104.615) =621.589896m2
The width of the membrane is 977mm according to https://roofingcanada.com/docs/canadian-roofing-reference-manual/chapter-12-

To estimate ceiling quantity, we are calculating the quantities for all the materials. The bottom chord of the truss
was already calculated as the span of the trusses.
Gypsum board C1
According to drawing A3.0, there are three different ceiling types
used. The three different areas for different types of ceilings need to
be calculated. Firstly, the gypsum board ceiling is marked as plain in
Figure 12.
Area of gypsum board ceiling = 2*(24500*10000) +(5000*11180) =

Drywall: (Report by Ashwani Sharma)
For estimating the drywall of the building we followed the below steps to find the overall quantity of drywall:
1. Perimeter of Rooms: To find the overall drywall required per
room by calculating the perimeter of the room. We calculated
the Length and width of the room as mentioned in table below:
Example: As per sheet no. A2.1-A, we calculated the perimeter
of each room and common space where we need to quantify
the drywall. As per the result, the perimeter of the below-
highlighted rooms in blue is mentioned.
Staff 101 Perimeter = 2x(Length + Width)

Length = Length – wall thickness
Length = (3.523+1.627-0.20-0.10)= 4.85 m
Width = (0.814+1.071+1.071+1.329-0.20-0.10) = 3.985m
Staff 101 Perimeter = 2x(4.85+3.985)=17.66 sq.m.
2. Height: Once we have got the perimeter of the overall drywall requirement we need to find the height of the
drywall. For determining the height we refer to the sectional plan A6.0. please refer to the below snap.
As per the elevation plan, the clear height is mentioned as

2759 mm i.e. 2.759 m
3. Area: as we have the perimeter and height of the drywall
we can calculate the overall area by using the formula:
Area = Perimeter x Height
Example: Using the same rooms as per above table we
calculate the total area of the drywall per room as per the
table à
Staff 101 Area of drywall = 17.66 x 2.759 = 48.72 sq. m.
Room Number Perimeter (m) Height (m) Area (sq.m.)
Staff – 101 17.66 2.759 48.72
Laundry – 102 11.24 2.759 31.01
Mechanical – M101 9.80 2.759 27.04
W/R – 105-B 11.22 2.759 30.96
Storage – 105-C 10.80 2.759 29.80
Custodial – C100 6.00 2.759 16.55
Using the same method we calculated the total area of the drywall required for this project and generated the
below table:
28 | P a g e
The Total quantity of Drywall required is 1100.51 Sq.m.
As we have got the total area of drywall i.e 1100.51 sq. m. we can calculate the number of drywall sheets
required: Reference: https://www.thespruce.com/how-to-estimate-drywall-step-by-step-tutorial-844379
1. Drywall Sheets: As a standard size of a drywall sheet is 1220 mm x 2440 mm x 15.9 mm. so the total area
of one sheet in meters = 1.22 x 2.44 = 2.98 sq. m.
➔ Total Drywall sheets = total area of drywall / Area of a sheet
➔ Total Drywall sheets = 1100.51 / 2.98 = 369.29 ≈ 370 Sheets
2. Drywall Tape: As the perimeter of a drywall sheet is (1.22+2.44) 3.66 m so, the total length of tape
required can be calculated using the below formula:
➔ Total Tape = Perimeter of a drywall X Total number of sheets
➔ Total Tape = 3.66 X 370 = 1,354.20m
3. Joint Compound: To calculate the total Joint compound we need to multiply the total drywall area by 0.57
pounds as mentioned in the above reference link:
➔ Total Joint compound = 1100.51 x 0.57 = 627.29 pound
4. Drywall Screws: To calculate the total number of screws as for 1220 mm x 2440 mm sheet we need 32
screws so for total 361 sheets.
➔ Total Screws = 370 x 32 = 11,840
We can use the total number to calculate the number of boxes of screws required as for 4.1 cm screw the
approx. the number of screws per pound is 150. So we will need approx. 80 pounds of screws for the project.
Wall Tile: (Report by Ashwani Sharma)

As per the restroom plan we need to provide wall tile in all the restroom till height of 1.219m. as we already
have calculated the perimeter of each room in above table we use the same
perimeter of the room to calculate the total area of wall tile required.
Example: 105A W/R Wall Tile = Perimeter x Height of wall tile
105A W/R Wall Tile = 11.2 x 1.219 = 13.65 m2
Similarly, we calculated the total area of wall tile required for all the
restrooms. The below table represents the calculation results.
Total wall tile required = 69 Sq. m.

Paint: (Report by Ashwani Sharma)
There are three type of Paints used in this project according to Sheet A4.1-A.To
calculate the total length of the wall for each paint and multiply it by the total height of
the wall.
Example: For Calculating the total area for Paint PT-4. We calculate the total length of
wall this paint will cover. As per the finish plan PT-4 is used in 105 – Office and 107 - A - Under 36 Month
rooms.
Length of dry wall = 2.2 + 9.72 = 11.92 m

Total Height of wall = 2.759
Total Paint PT-4 = Length of dry wall x Height
of wall
Total Paint PT-4 = 11.92 x 2.759 = 32.89 Sq. m.
Similarly, the total area of all the wall paints are
calculated.

Total 201.88
The total area of paint required is 201.88 Sq. m.
Floor Finishes: (Report by Ashwani Sharma)

For Floor finish, we calculate the total floor area of building according to the type of
finishes. In this project there are four types of finishes as mentioned in the Sheet A4.1-A and
as mentioned in the below snap.
To calculate the total floor area per floor finish type. We calculate the floor area per room
and define the type of floor finish respectively to the room. Once we have the floor area of
each room and type of finish for each room we sum up the total area to find the finial floor
finish area.
Example: For calculating the total area of RF1 typr floor finish. We start with
calculating the floor area of rooms in which they are required. Like room 100-B
Kitchen, 102- Laundry. Etc.Floor area = Length x width
100-B Kitchen Floor area = 4.04 x 4.67 = 18.87 sq. m.
Similarly we calculated the floor area of all the rooms and assigned the floor finish type
to each room. Please refer to the below table.
30 | P a g e
The total Floor Finish quantity required is 481.65 sq. m.
Estimation of Asphalt shingles: (Report by Gagandeepsingh Sukhdevsingh Bhalla)

For estimating the Asphalt Shingles of the roof, we followed the below steps to find the overall quantity:
Area of section A1= 25.77*10.64= 274.193 m2
Area of section A2= 15.216*5= 76.080 m2
Area of section A3= 25.77*10.64= 274.193
Total area = Area of (A1+A2+A3)= (274.193+76.080+624.466)
Total area of roof (in plane/horizontal) = 624.466 m2
To find sloping area of roof we need to multiply total area by sloping
area multiplying factor.
Sloping area factor = √(rise/run)² + 1) = √(2/12)² + 1)
Sloping area factor = 1.014 Therefore, total sloping area =
624.466*1.014 Total sloping area= 633.188 m2
To find Number of shingles, it is often calculated from roofing square.
As 1 roofing square is equal to 100sqft. We will be converting above total area into sqft first.
1 m2= 10.764 sqft => 633.188 m2= 6815.493 sqft
6815.493
Roofing square= = 68.155 squares
100
Per roofing square 3 bundles of shingles are required.
No of shingles= 68.155*3 = 204.465 bundles No of shingles= 205 bundles
One bundle of shingle= 29 units of shingles
Total no of shingles= 205*29 = 5945 Total 5945 units of shingle are required.
Connections for shingles-
To connect shingles to roof large head aluminum roofing nails are used.
Each shingle requires 4 nails to connect adequately to roof.
So total number of nails require = No of shingles*4 = 5945*4 = 23780 Total no of nails requires 23780 units.
Roof cladding- (Report by Gagandeepsingh Sukhdevsingh Bhalla)
Roof facia is installed along roof perimeter, so the required length is equal to total perimeter of roof.

Referring to sheet A4.0-A Roof Plan, observed perimeter of roof= 122,608mm= 122.608m
Soffits:-(Report by Gagandeepsingh Sukhdevsingh Bhalla)

To estimate area required for soffits we require total length of roof i.e perimeter of
and width of roof.
Referring to sheet A4.0-A Roof Plan, observed perimeter of roof= 122,608mm=
122.608m
From sheet A6.0 Building section, typical overhang provided is 610mm= 0.610m
Total area of soffit= Perimeter of roof*width of overhang
Total area of soffit= 122.608*0.610 Total area of soffit= 74.790 m2
Exterior walls:(Report by Gagandeepsingh Sukhdevsingh Bhalla)

As per the sheet A0.2 Architectural Plan, we can observe that there are two compositions of exterior walls,
namely, EW1 and EW2. To calculate their quantity, we first
calculated area of exterior wall.
To calculate length and area of the wall we need to refer,
Sheet A8.0 Architectural Plan, Sheet A2.1A overall floor
plan, and Table 1.1
Area of wall upto roof height = {(length of wall ∗
height of wall) − (area of openings in wall) + (area of section above wall upto roof)}
From sheet A5.0-A, we get to know height of wall = 2759mm=2.759m
1) Area of wall A-B = {(24.5*2.759) -(8*1.142)} =>Area of wall A-B= 58.459 m2
2) Area of wall B-C=To find area of above wall B-C, we will consider above section as triangle and find its
area.
Firstly, we will find height of triangle,
𝑜𝑝𝑝 2.691
As tan Ɵ = 𝑎𝑑𝑗 = 12.5 = 12.149 => Height of triangle= Tan 12.149* 10.11 => Height of triangle= 2.176m
Area of wall B-C= {(10.11*2.759) – (4*1.931) + (1/2*10.11*2.176)} =>Area of wall B-C=31.169 m2

3) Area of wall C-D= {(9.801*(2.759+2.176) – (3*0.877)}=45.736 m2
4) Area of wall D-E= {(4.780*2.759)- (3.530*2.446) +(4.780*2.176+ ½*4.780*0.515)}= (13.188-
8.634+11.632)= 16.186m2
5) Area of Wall E-F= {(9.801*(2.759+2.176) – (3*0.877)F=45.736 m2
6) Area of wall F-G= {(10.11*2.759) – (4*1.931) + (1/2*10.11*2.176)} =31.169 m2
7) Area of wall G-H= {(24.5*2.759) -(3*0.743+ 2*0.372)}= 64.622 m2
8) Area of wall H-I = {(10.11*2.759) – (4*1.931) + (1/2*10.11*2.176)}= 31.169 m2
9) Area of wall I-J = {(0.753*2.759+2.176)}= 3.716 m2
10) Area of wall J-K= {(4.780*2.759)- (3.530*2.446) +(4.780*2.176+ ½*4.780*0.515)}= 16.186m2
11) Area of wall K-L= {(0.753*2.759+2.176)}= 3.716 m2
12) Area of wall L-A= {(10.11*2.759) – (3*0.980) + (1/2*10.11*2.176)}= 35.953m2
From Sheet A2.1-A, there are 3 types of exterior walls, i.e. EW1a, EW1b, EW2.
Area of EW1a= (Area of wall AB + Area of wall BC + Area of wall CD + Area of wall KL + Area of wall

Fiber cement panels
Fiber cement panels are to be installed on exterior wall section.
Therefore, total area required to be covered by fiber cement panel is equal to exterior wall section, i.e 383.727
m2 .Considering size of panel is 11.5”H X 144”L. All panels are installed with overlap to create watertight seal.
Assuming over lap of 1.5 inch, so the effective size will be 10”H X 144”L.
This panel would coverage area of 1440 sq.inch, which is 0.929m2

Vertical Rainscreen strapping
Vertical rainscreen strapping of 19mm*38mm is placed on studs spaced at 350mm O.C. throughout the length
of the Exterior wall.
Vapour permeable Air barrier on exterior wall
Vapour air permeable barrier is used to resist air leakage and liquid water intrusion, while at the same time
allows vapor to readily pass through to allow the wall assembly to dry. Vapour permeable air barrier is installed
on exterior wall surface, so the are required is equal to surface area of wall. As total area of exterior wall is
already estimated,
area of vapour permeable barrier= 383.727 m2.

• From RS means data, we used 2 X 4 wood with crew 1 Carpenter, who can do 250 LF of work in 16L.H,
whose bare material cost is $0.44/lf and bare Labour cost is $1.25/lf
• The amount of work done by the 1 Carpenter per hour = 250 / 16 = 15.625 LF/hr.
• For 401.574 LF, total L.H required are = 401.574 /15.625 = 25.70hrs
MATERIAL COST
• Bare Material cost required for the work = 401.574 5 X $0.44(Unit Cost) = $176.69
LABOUR COST
• Bare Labour cost required for the work = 401.574 X $1.25 (Unit Cost) = $501.96
• Total Cost for Wood Products = $678.65 and Total Labour hours = 25.70hrs
Concrete for Sidewalk

• From QTO, the total quantity of concrete needed = 11.15m3 = 14.58cy.
• The quantity of concrete required with included 3% wastage = 11.4845m3 = 15.02cy
• From RS means data, we used 4500psi Heavyweight Structural Concrete, whose bare material cost is
$145.96/Cy
MATERIAL COST
51 | P a g e
• Bare Material cost required for the Concrete =15.02 X $ 145.96 (Unit Cost) = $2192.31
• Total cost of concrete required for Sidewalk = $2192.31
Reinforcement bars for Sidewalks

• From QTO, the total quantity of steel needed = 0.19 tons.
• Including 10% of wastage the total quantity of steel = 0.209 tons
• Here we considered 10M as specified.
• From RS means data, we used Uncoated Reinforced Concrete Steel, the crew 4rodm can do 1.6ton steel
in 32 L.H, whose bare material cost is $982.8/ton and bare Labour cost is $622.78/ton.
• The amount of steel that can be reinforced by the crew 4 rodm per hour = 1.6/32 = 0.05 tons/hr.
• For 0.209 tons, total L.H required are = 0.209/0.05 = 4.18hrs
MATERIAL COST
• Bare Material cost required for the reinforcement =0.209 X $982.8 (Unit Cost) = $205.405
LABOUR COST
• Bare Labour cost required for the reinforcement = 0.209 X $622.78 (From Rs means) = $130.161
• Total Cost for reinforcement = $335.566 and Total Labour hours = 4.18hrs

• As per the requirements there are two top plates of size

• Cripples are calculated for the openings in all walls including

• Two studs are considered wherever joints appear on the EW.

• Two studs are considered wherever joints appear on PW1.

ROOF: (Report by Keerthi Gaddam)

R1 ROOF TRUSS TYPE 1: (Report by Keerthi Gaddam)

Total of 15 webs w1, w3,w5,w7,w9,w11,w13,w15 are vertical webs

similarly w4 = w6 = 2635.57mm , w8 = w10 = 2238mm, w12 = w14 = 1935.90mm

Since we have 26 full-span trusses

Similarly, No. of sheathings (p2) = 36

No. of sheathings is multiplied by 2 as the total roof area is divided

The total no. of sheathings = 2*(P1+P2) = 210
