Part A: Measurements
1. Retaining Wall
Part B
Construction and Overheads
Rate analysis for amount or costing. The basic structure starts from the material, labour,
equipment, machines, water, electricity, and C.P.O.H. (Contractors Profit over Head). According
to the guidelines, The profit will be divided as 7.5% to the contractor and overhead (Li et 2017).
Over Heads
Overall estimate and cost of the project; for example, a contractor gets a project estimate of
about 100 billion. Based on the calculation, the overhead cost is about 7.5%, which means to
manage the construction needs (Li et 2017).
