• INTRODUCTION:
An estimate is a calculation of the quantities of various items of work, and the
expenses likely to be incurred thereon. The total of these probable expenses to be
incurred on the work is known as estimated cost of the work. The estimated cost of
a work is a close approximation of its actual cost. The agreement of the estimated
cost with the actual cost will depend on accurate use of estimating methods and
correct visualization of the work, as it will be done. Importance of correct estimating
is obvious. Under-estimating may result in the client getting an unpleasant shock
when tenders are opened and drastically modifying or abandoning the work at that
stage. Over-estimating may lose the engineer or estimator his client or his job, or in
any case his confidence.

Approximate estimate:
The approximate estimate is done in order to find out an approximate cost in very short time
before starting the project. The estimation is made before selecting the final specification and
design of the project. This method is also known as preliminary or rough estimate.

Purpose of approximate estimate:

1. To evaluate the cost of a project in short time.

2. To evaluate the difference between several options.

3. To check the final cost of the project that is calculated by detailed estimation.

• Methods of Approximate Estimate:

A. Plinth Area Method:
This estimation is done by selecting the price of 1 square meter area of a building. It is mainly
adopted for calculating the cost of following buildings:

▪ Office Buildings.
▪ Residential Buildings.
▪ School Buildings.
▪ Apartment/Flat Buildings.
▪ Hospitals.

This method is considered as the best method for calculating the cost of new buildings.

In case of multi-storeyed buildings, the following assumptions are to be considered for the
estimation.

1. For 1 square meter area, the cost of all the floors with basement and roof are in equal costs.

2. The cost of the basement is 60% of the floor.

3. The cost of the roof is 40% of the floors.

B. Cubic Meter Method:

This method gives more exact result comparatively than the square meter method.

1. For 1 meter cube area the costs of all floors are equal in costs.

2. The cost of the basement is 60% of the cost of different floors.

The volume of the floor is determined as

Volume = Area × Height of one floor

The height of one floor is found out by the following guidelines:

1. Ground Floor: The height of ground floor is calculated from the top of the footing to the
middle of the parapet.

2. First Floor: The height of the first floor is calculated from the ground rooftop to the middle of
the parapet.

3. Other Floors: The heights of other floors are calculated from floor to floor.

Besides these methods, there are some other approximate methods such as

1. Cost comparison method.

2. Unit rate method.

3. Approximate quantities with bill method.

4. Bay method.

5. The cost of materials and labour method.

C. Typical Bay Method

This method is useful for application to framed structures consisting of a number of similar bays,
as for example, industrial buildings. A typical interior bay (between two successive columns) is
selected and its total cost worked out.
Then, the approximate cost of building = Number of bays in the building x cost of one bay.

Suitable correction factors may have to be used to take into account the dissimilarities in end-
bay (and in different floors, if applied to multi storey construction).
D. Approximate Quantity Method Cost Estimate

In approximate quantity method cost estimate, Total wall length of the structure is measured
and this length is multiplied by the rate per running meter which gives the cost of the building.
Rate per running meter is calculated separately for foundation and superstructure.

In case of foundation, the rate per running meter is decided by considering quantities such as
excavation cost, brickwork cost up to plinth. While in case of superstructure quantities like
brickwork for the wall, wood works, floor finishing etc. are considered for deciding rate per
running meter.

E. The Service Unit Method

Buildings are constructed to serve a specific purpose. For example hospitals are designed to
accommodate certain number of beds. Each bed is then considered a service unit. Hotels are
designed to accommodate certain number of guest rooms. Each guest room is considered a
service unit. Same applies to offices, residential houses etc. Whenever a building is constructed
the Engineer or the architect keeps the record of the place, actual cost, number of service units,
and the year of construction. From this record, it is possible to work out the cost per service
unit. This cost is then adjusted to account for inflation, and peculiarities of the project under
consideration. Then the adjusted cost per service unit is simply multiplied by the number of
service units in the proposed project to get an approximate cost estimate.

• Examples
1. Estimate for School building
1) The cost of construction of school building is 2.50 crores for a capacity of 600 students and
area of construction is 1600 m^2. Prepare approximate estimate of newly proposed school
building for 1500 students with the area of 5000 m^2. Use Plinth Area method

Solution:

Rate of Plinth Area of existing school building = 25000000÷1600

= 15625Rs/m^2

Then,

The approximate cost of newly proposed school building Plinth

= Total plinth Area of proposed building X Cost per area of similar existing building

= 15625 X 50000

= 7.8125 crores

2) The cost of construction of school building is 4 crores for a capacity of 1200 students and area
of construction is 3200 m^2. Prepare approximate estimate of newly proposed school building
for 3000 students with the area of 1000m^2. Use Plinth Area method

Solution:

Rate of Plinth Area of existing school building = 40000000÷3200

= 12500Rs/m^2

Then, The approximate cost of newly proposed school building Plinth

= Total plinth Area of proposed building X Cost per area of similar existing building

= 12500 X 10000

= 125000000 crores

2. Approximate Estimate for Auditorium Hall
1) Prepare approximate of Auditorium Hall building having Plinth Area 1500 m^2.

• Plinth Area rate – 4000Rs per m^2

• Water supply and sanitary installation – 5% of cost of building
• Electric installation – 10% of cost of building
• Other services – 5% of cost of building
• Contingencies – 3% of overall cost of building
• Super vision charges – 8% of overall cost of building
Solution:

Cost of Auditorium Hall = plinth Area X Rate

= 1500m^2 X 4000 Rs

= 6000000

Cost of water supply and sanitation installation = (5÷100) X 6000000

= 300000
Electric installation = (10÷100) X 6000000

= 600000
Other services = (5÷100) X 6000000

= 300000

Contingencies = (3÷100) X [60 lakh+ 3 lakh + 6 lakh + 3 lakh]

= 0.03 X 72 lakh

= 216000 (2 lakh 16 thousand)

Supervision charge = (8÷100) X 72 lakh

= 576000
Approximate estimate of town hall = 72 lakh + 2 lakh 16 thousand + 5 lakh 76 thousand
= 79.92 lakh

2) Prepare approximate of Auditorium Hall building having Plinth Area 2200 m^2.

Plinth Area rate – 3500Rs per m^2

Water supply and sanitary installation – 3 % of cost of building

Electric installation – 8 % of cost of building

Other services – 5% of cost of building

Contingencies – 2 % of overall cost of building

Super vision charges – 4 % of overall cost of building

Solution:

Cost of Auditorium Hall = plinth Area X Rate

= 2200 m^2 X 3500Rs

= 7700000
Cost of water supply and sanitation installation = (3÷100) X 7700000

= 231000

Electric installation = (8÷100) X 7700000

= 616000

Other services

= (5÷100) X 7700000
= 385000
Contingencies = (2÷100) X [7700000+231000 + 616000 + 385000]

= 178640

Supervision charge = (4 ÷100) X 178640

= 71456

Approximate estimate of Auditorium Hall = 8932000 + 178640 + 71456

= 9182096 Lakh

3. Approximate Estimate for Hospital building

1) A hospital building of 150 beds is constructed in Talegoan the cost of construction of RS 5

crore. Find the approximate Estimate of a small hospital of 35 beds in the similar locality by using
service unit method

Solution:

Rate per service unit = (cost of construction÷ number of beds)

= 50000000 ÷ 150

= Rs 333333.33 per bed

Approximate cost of newly proposed hospital of 35 beds

= Number of beds X Rate per bed

= 35 X 333333.33
= RS.11666666.66
2) A hospital building of 200 beds is constructed in Pune the cost of construction of RS 7 crore.
Find the approximate Estimate of a small hospital of 45 beds in the similar locality by using
service unit method

Solution:

Rate per service unit = (cost of construction÷ number of beds)

= 70000000 ÷ 200
= Rs.350000 per bed
Approximate cost of newly proposed hospital of 35 beds

= Number of beds X Rate per bed

= 45 X 350000
= Rs.15750000

4. Approximate Estimate for hostel building

1) A hostel building for 150 students is constructed in Pune the cost of construction is RS 6 crore.
Find the locality by using service unit method

Solution:

Rate per service unit = (cost of construction÷ number of students)

= 60000000 ÷ 150

= RS.400000
Approximate cost of newly proposed hostel building for 250 students

= Number of students X Rate per student

= 250 X 400000

= RS.100000000

2) A hostel building for 200 students is constructed in Pune the cost of construction is RS 8 crore.
Find the approximate estimate of a newly proposed hostel building of 300 students in the similar
locality by using service unit method

Solution:

Rate per service unit = (cost of construction÷ number of students)

= 80000000 ÷ 200
= 400000
Approximate cost of newly proposed hostel building for 300 students

= Number of students X Rate per student

= 300 X 400000

= RS.120000000

• Purpose:
Purpose of Estimating:
To give a reasonably accurate idea of the cost
An estimate is necessary to give the owner a reasonably accurate idea of the cost to help him
decide whether the works can be undertaken as proposed or needs to be curtailed or
abandoned, depending upon the availability of funds and prospective direct and indirect
benefits. For government works proper sanction has to be obtained for allocating the required
amount. Works are often let on a lump sum basis, in which case the Estimator must be in a
position to know exactly how much expenditure he is going to incur on them
1. Estimating Materials

From the estimate of a work it is possible to determine what materials and in what quantities
will be required for the works so that the arrangements to procure them can be made.

2. Estimating Labor
The number and kind of workers of different categories who will have to be employed to
complete the work in the specified time can be found from the estimate.

3. Estimating Plant
An estimate will help in determining amount and kind of equipment needed to complete the
work.

4. Estimating Time
The estimate of a work and the past experience enable one to estimate quite closely the length
of time required to complete an item of work or the work as a whole.
Whereas the importance of knowing the probable cost needs no emphasis, estimating
materials, labor, plant and time is immensely useful in planning and execution of any work.

• Conclusion:

This guidance is provided to support the preparation and revision of approximate estimates,
with the intent of ensuring that the approximate estimates provide a useful project
management tool. Nevertheless, judgment must be applied when preparing project
approximate estimates and specialist guidance should be sought where necessary—for
instance, in identifying project cost categories, or determining appropriate physical and price
contingencies.
The above methods are useful in preparing approximate estimate for any type of work.
