Flat arch usually subtends an angle of 60 at the centre and forms an
equilateral triangle.

 THREE ROOMED PLAN – CENTRE LINE METHOD
 Estimate the quantities by using center line method of the following items of a residential
building from the given drawing
1) Earthwork in excavation in foundation.
2) Lime concrete in foundation
3) First class brick in 1:6 cement sand mortar in foundation and plinth
4) 2.5 cm Damp proof course
5) First class brickwork in lime mortar in super structure
 QUANTITY ESTIMATION:

Total center length of all 30 cm walls = Total center length of walls of drawing and left side bed room +
Total center length of wall of bed rooms right side

Total center length of all 30 cm walls = (2 * 10.60 + 3* 5.30) + (2 * 9.60 + 2 * 4.80)

= 37.10 + 28.80 = 65.90 m

Number of junctions for 30 cm walls = 6 marked with ‘x’ in the plan

Total center length of 20 cm wall = (C.C of long front wall + C.C length of side wall) + (C.C length of
back verandah long wall including bath + 2 * C.C length of cross walls of bathroom)

Total center length of 20 cm wall = (9.65 + 2.25) + (9.65 + 2 * 2.75) = 11.90 + 15.15

Total center length of 20 cm wall = 27.05 m

Number of junctions of 20 cm wall = 5 junctions marked with ‘+’ with 30 cm walls

1 junction marked with ‘-’ is with similar 20 cm wall
