Important Points To Remember For Quantity Estimation: Civil Works
Civil Works:
To carefully note the various levels while calculating excavation &
backfilling.
To make note of the various levels of the structure & compare the
measured heights/length of various items with the levels.
To check all the sections & elevations carefully prior to any estimation.
To look into the NOTES given at the right side of the drawing in the
info column.
To look out for trenches, drops, slab elevations, projections & many
others.
To check for different slab depths over the plan.
To carefully look into the openings, their types & numbers.
To measure the height of the pedestal & columns up to the top level of
above Ground (plinth) & Roof beams respectively.
To measure the length of the beam from column face to face.
To carefully note the various given dimensions of the different
structures.
To carefully carry out the estimation of staircase, trenches etc.
separately.
To carefully note the beam positions & their depths while calculating
Block/Brickwork.
To consider the height of the wall for internal plastering works up to
the slab bottom & thereby considering deductions for openings.
To carefully note the beams bottom surface (where there is no block
work) for roof bottom plastering.
Steel Reinforcement:
To carefully name & number every individual rods before any
calculations & workout the no. of rods, length & span accordingly &
individually.
To learn the extra length formulae for the 45 & 30 deg cranks.
To learn the calculations of the length & no. of rods for the top
reinforcement in slab.
To carefully note the data while calculating the length of rods, their
numbers, their span of distribution etc.
To carefully keep note of the covers for various items of the structure.
