 TYPES OF
Q

S ESTIMATES
 DETAILED ESTIMATES

•Determination of the quantities and costs of

everything that is required to complete the project.
•This includes materials, labor, equipment,
insurance, bonds and overhead as well as an
estimate of the profit.
•To perform this type of estimate, the contractor
must have a complete of contract documents.
 SQUARE-FOOT ESTIMATES

•Prepared by multiplying square footage of a

building by a cost per square foot and then
adjusting the price to compensate for differences in
the building heights, length of the building
perimeter and other building components.
 SAMPLE
SQUARE
FOOT
ESTIMATES
 PARAMETRIC ESTIMATES

•Parametric estimates use equations that express

the statistical relationship between building
parameters and the cost of the building.
•The building parameters used in the equation may
include the gross square footage, number of floors,
length of perimeter, percentage of building that is
common space and so forth.
 PROJECT COMPARISON ESTIMATES

•Prepared by comparing the cost of a proposed

project to a completed project.
•When preparing an estimate using this method,
the estimator starts with the costs of a comparable
project and then makes adjustments for differences
in the project.

QUANTITY TAKE-OFF

•Refers to the scaling or transferring of critical

dimensions of construction components from drawings
to paper of software that are quantified as units of
measurement.

•This also includes a description of works that

are influenced by the appropriate
measurement guide.
S
Q
ORGANIZATION OF QUANTITY TAKE-
OFF

•The order of quantity take-off will generally follow the

sequence of work activities of the project and,
conveniently for the estimator, the contract drawings
are usually presented in this sequence.

 SITE CLEARANCE/PREPARATION

•It is the removal of natural obstruction across the site

such as grass, bushes, shrubs and trees

RULE OF MEASUREMENT:
•Site preparation is measured in terms of area, m2.

 EXCAVATION

•It is the removal of earth from its natural position.

RULE OF MEASUREMENT:
•All excavation is measured net with no allowance for
increasing in bulk after excavation or for the extra space
required for working space or to accommodate earthwork
support.

 DISPOSAL

•It is defined as the action or process of throwing

away or getting rid of something.

RULE OF MEASUREMENT:
•Disposal is based on all excavated material off site
and measured in terms of volume, m3.

 FILLING

•It is defined as a quantity of material that fills or is used to fill

something.

RULE OF MEASUREMENT:
•Filling is obtained from excavated material which includes
topsoil and any other material arising from the excavations that
have been specified to remain on site and measured in terms of
volume, m3.
•Consider additional 25% as allowance for compaction of the
loose volume of soil.

CONCRETE
Q

S WORKS
 IN SITU CONCRETE

•It is concrete deposited in the place where it is

required to harden as part of the structure.

RULE OF MEASUREMENT:
 Concrete volume is measured net.
 Deductions are not made for the following:
 Reinforcement
 Steel Sections
 Voids < 0.05m3 in volume (except voids in
troughed and coffered slabs)
 MATERIALS IN CONCRETE

•Concrete is a mixture of cement paste, fine and

coarse aggregates. Cement paste consists of
cement and water which bind the fine and coarse
aggregates.
•The fine aggregate in concrete should consist of
natural sand or inert materials with similar
characteristics, having clean, hard and durable
grains, free from organic matters or loam.

 FORMWORK
•It is a temporary construction to contain wet concrete in
the required shape while it is cast and setting.
•This can be made of steel, wood, aluminum and/or
prefabricated forms.

RULE OF MEASUREMENT:
 It is measured to the faces of all cast in place
concrete which requires to be supported while the
concrete sets.
 No deductions shall be made for voids < 5.00 m2
