1. Cost of excavating out

Total depth of excavation = 0.05m + 0.65m + 0.65m + 0.35m

= 1.70m

Volume of excavation (n.e. 1.50m):

V = lxwxd

= 1.50 x 1.50 x 1.50

= 3.375 m3

Volume of excavation (e. 1.50m):

V = lxwxd

= 1.50 x 1.50 x 0.20

= 0.45 m3

Cost :
= 3.375 m3 x 1.50 hour x (RM24.00/8 hour) +

0.45 m3 x 1.60 hour x (RM24.00/8 hour)

= RM 15.19 + RM 2.16

= RM 17.35

2. Cost of spread up in making up level (surface to receive pad footing)

= (1.50m x 1.50m) x 0.12 hour x RM3/hour

= 2.25 m2 x 0.12 hour x RM3/hour

= RM 0.81

3. Cost of filling in and ramming

 Actual volume to be filled in and rammed = total volume of excavation
– (volume of pad + volume of stump + volume of ground beam + lean
concrete))

Volume of excavation (n.e. 1.50m):

3.825m2
V = lxwxd

= 1.50 x 1.50 x 1.50

= 3.375 m3

Volume of excavation (e. 1.50m):

V = lxwxd

= 1.50 x 1.50 x 0.20

= 0.45 m3

Cost

= [3.825m3 – (1.5m x 1.5m x 0.65m) - ∏j2t – (volume of

ground beam) – (volume of lean concrete) ] x 0.60 hour x
RM3/hour

= [(3.825m3 – 1.4625m3 - ∏0.252(0.65m + 0.35m) –

(volume of ground beam) – ( 1.50 x 1.50 x 0.05)] x 0.60
hour x RM3/hour

= ?? m3 x 0.60 hour x RM3/hour

= RM ??.??

4. Cost of carting away remainder load

Volume to be carted away = total volume of excavation – volume to be

filled in and rammed
 = [3.825m3 – (?? m3 x 1.25)] x 1.20 hour x RM3/hour

= 0.15 m3 x 1.20 hour x RM3/hour

= RM ??.??

5. Profit

= 20% x [(RM 17.35 + RM 0.81 + RM ??.?? + RM

??.??)/3.825]

= 20% x RM ??.??

= RM ??.??/m3

6. Cost of 1m3 excavation

= RM ??.??/m3 + RM ??.??/m3

= RM ??.??/m3
