Diesel consumption = 10 litres per hour
Output of excavator production = 10m per hour
Cost of dump truck (including operator) = RM 500.00 per day
Number of dumper to cart away = 5 dump trucks
Output of dumper truck production = 3 min per m
Working hours = 8 hours per day
Profit and overhead = 15%

RM RM/m
Excavation Cost
a) Hiring cost = (RM 600.00/8hours) = 75.00
b) Wage of an excavator = (RM 130.00/8hours) = 16.25
c) Wage of a banksman = (RM 65.00/8hours) = 8.13
d) Diesel = (RM 2.00 per litre x 10 litres per hour) = 20.00
e) Oil and grease = 3.00
Total cost of excavation per hour = 122.38
Excavation cost per m = (RM122.38/10m) = 12.24

Removing Cost
a) Cost of dumper per hour = 5 x (RM 500.00/8hrs) = 312.50
Cost of dumper per m = (3min/60min) x RM312.50/hr = 15.63

Total cost of oversite excavation per m = 27.86

15% OHP = 4.18
Total unit rate (RM) per m = 32.04

Vibrate compactor output = 15m per hour
General labour output = 0.15 hour per m
Working hours = 8 hours per day
Consolidation due to compaction and wastage = 25%
Profit and overhead = 15%

RM RM/m
Material Cost
a) Cost of hardcore = (100mm/1000mm) x RM35/m = 3.50
b) Add 25% consolidation = 25% x RM 3.50 = 0.88
Total material cost per m 4.38

Labour Cost
a) Wage of general worker =
= (RM65.00/8hrs) x 0.10 hour per m 1.25

Plant Cost
a) Hiring cost of compactor = RM80.00/8hrs = 10.00
b) Wage of an operator = RM75.00/8hrs = 9.38
Total plant cost for 15m per hour = 19.38
Cost of plant per m = RM19.38/15m = 1.29

Total cost of 100mm thick hardcore per m = 6.92
