Introduction

The project is to construct an open sub surface water tank to collect rainwater. It is designed
as a reinforced concrete structure. The tank is raised from the ground to prevent any
contamination from ground water. The construction period of the project is twelve weeks.

Project details

• Valuation and billing will be done every fortnight after commencement of

construction.
• Payments will be given by the client, two weeks after each evaluation.
• Prices and quantities to be used in the estimation are given in Table 2: Material,
Equipment and Labour Prices and Table 3: Estimating Data
• The profit margin for the project is 20%.

• The tank dimensions are 8m×4m×1.4m.

• Grade 30 concrete is to be used for the reinforce concrete.
• Slab and wall thickness is 180mm.

Conclusion

It can be observed from Table 4: Bill of Quantities, that most of the budget will be for
reinforcement, formwork, and concreting. Since the payments are received two weeks after
valuation there is overdraft in the cash flow (Figure 5: Net Cash Flow). The breakeven point
of the project is in the 12th week (Figure 4: Cost and Payment). It can be concluded that the
information obtained above can be used in the financial operations of the project.
