FOREWORD 0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part I) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 15 March 1974, after the draft finalized by the Planning and Organization at Site Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council. 0.2 Schedule of rates form the basis for preparing the detailed estimates for works. These are also very useful in considering the reasonableness of the tenders received from the contractors and for pricing the alterations, addi- tions, omission and substitutions in a contract. It is, therefore, necessary that the schedule ‘of rates should be prepared correctly and be based on rationally stipulated material and labour constants. 0.3 At present different departments at a place are having their own schedule ofrates. A comparison of the labour and material constants used for different items of work in these schedules of rates has indicated that there is a good variation in them and due to which different rates exist in various departments for the same items of work in the same locality. “This standard is being issued in order to rationalize the labour output constants for different building works. 0.4 The labour constants have been arrived at by the Central Building Research Institute, Roorkee by taking actual observations, using work measurement techniques, on the construction sites at Delhi and Roorkee. Different types of building works up to 10 m height of CPWD, MES and other organizations were included where the workers from neighbouring states were working. Sufficient number of observations to ensure a confidence limit of 95 percent and an accuracy of +5 percent were taken. The relaxa- tion allowance for the time required for rest to overcome physical fatigue and working condition allowance has been taken as per the standardized values given for Indian conditions by the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Rehabilitation, Government of India. Other allowances, such as organizations, incidental holdups, ineffective time arising out of preparatory work and additional weightage for small size works have been arrived at by the activity sampling studies and mutual agreement at the committee meet- ings by the members representing the construction departments and the builders association.IS : 7272 ( Part 1) - 1974 0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard. 1. SCOPE 1.1 This standard ( Part I ) covers the recommended labour output constants for general items of building work for north zone which comprises of the following areas: Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. 1.1.1 The labour constants for other zones would be covered separately in other parts of the standard. 2.

It is, therefore, necessary that the schedule of rates should be Prepared correctly and be based on rationally stipulated material and labour constants, 0.3 At present, different departments at a place are having their own schedule of rates. A comparison of the labour and material constants used for different items of work in these schedule of rates has indicated that there is a good variation in them and due to which different rates exist in various departments for the same items of work in the same locality. In order to tationalize the material constants for different items of building works, this standard is being issued. 0.4 The material constants have been arrived at by the Central Building Research Institute after carrying out the laboratory and field studies. Ali materials taken in the laboratory studies were as per relevant Indian Standards. . 0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard. —_ 1. SCOPE 1.1 This standard covers the material constants (excluding wastages ) for common items of building works. *Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ) 3IS : 10067 - 1982 Nore 1 — The coverage of item is not exhaustive. Additional items will be included at a later date when data is available for these items. .Note 2 — The percentage of material wastage will vary depending upon region, source, type, season, mode of issue as well as utilization, etc. A correct assessment of wastage Shall be determined by user’s department. 2. MATERIAL CONSTANTS 2.1 Mortar — The material constants. for cement mortars, lime mortars, lime pozzolana mortars and composite mortars are given in Table 1. The sand taken in the study was having fineness modulus of 1:26 and grading within limits as given in IS : 1542-1960* and IS : 2116-1965t. 2.2 Concrete — The material constants for cement concretes and lime concretes are given in Table 2. 2.2.1 The consumption of materials is more to an extent of 2°5 percent when the fineness modulus of sand is 1°26 instead of 3°87 which are almost extreme values maintaining the grading of sand within the permissible limits of IS : 383-1970. Similarly, the consumption of materials is more to an extent of 2°5 percent when the coarse aggregate with fineness modulus 6:05 is used instead of 7°60 which are also the extreme values, The over all consumption of materials in concrete is 5 percent less when aggregates with highest values of fineness modulus are used instead of those with lowest values of fineness modulus. 2.2.2 In Table 2, the fineness modulii of fine aggregate has been taken as 1:26 ( fine sand ) for leaner mixes and 2°87 (coarse sand ) for richer mixes, for computing the constants. The fineness modulii for coarse aggregate are 69 for leaner mixes and 6°5 for richer mixes. The above sizes are taken as per normal practice maintaining the grading of the aggregates as per IS : 383-1970$. 2.3 Brickwork — The material constants for brickwork using traditional bricks and modular bricks are given in Table 3 and Table 4 respectively. 2.4 Flooring 2.4.1 The material constants for cement concrete flooring are given in Table 5. 2.4.2 The material constants for terrazzo (marble chips ) flooring are given in Table 6. 2.5 Plastering — The material constants for cement plasters and cement lime plasters are given in Table 7. * Specification for sand for plaster.
