FINISHES @ Kemasan PADA BANGUNAN –

bertujuan untuk mencantikkan bangunan dan

juga untuk keselesaan penghuninya.
Kemasan bangunan termasuklah kemasan
luaran dan dalaman bangunan – Internal &
External Finishes .
Ianya terdiri daripada kemasan seperti siling,
kemasan dinding dan kemasan lantai.
Terkandung dalam section F, SMM2.
CERAMIC
NON-SLIPPERY CERAMIC - FLOOR
• Granolithic flooring / paving
is usually consists of mix of
cement, sand and hard
aggregate, can be polished
to a smooth finish and
sealed with a durable
surface coat.

• Sometimes, top surface. It

comprises hard aggregates,
cement and sand which are
blended with water and
sometimes POLYMERS to
make a workable mix.

(II) Stage 2: CARI Kos Untuk 'FLOOR TILES' Per m²

a) Material Cost - for Homogeneous

- Pertama, mesti kira dahulu berapa keping Tiles untuk 1 m2 ??
Method to calculate the maximum numbers of tile pieces
Lets say 300mm x 300mm x 7mm thick Homogeneous tile

Length - 1m / 1000 mm
300 300 300
300

300
Width
1m / 1000mm
300

For Example - size tile is 300 length x 300 mm width

so, Length = 1000 mm
300 mm
= 3.33 pieces
Width = 1000 mm
300 mm
= 3.33 pieces
Bilangan maksima tiles untuk 1m2 lantai:
Luas = L x W
= 3.33 x 3.33
11.1 pieces
(II) Stage 2: CARI Kos Untuk 'FLOOR TILES' Per m²

a) Material Cost - for Homogeneous

- Pertama, mesti kira dahulu berapa keping Tiles untuk 1 m2 ??

Homogeneous tiles 11 pcs x RM 2.40 26.40

ADD: 5 % Wastage 5% X RM 26.40 1.32
Cement paste (20 mm thick) 0.02 m x RM 418.10 8.36

b) Labour cost
Tiler - Levelling & fixing tile 1.45 hrs x RM 58.00 10.51
m³ 8
Unskilled Labour 1.20 hrs x RM 40.00 6.00
m³ 8
52.59 52.59
c) Add: Profit 13% x RM 52.59 6.84
Cost of tiles per m2 59.43
1st: Calculate the total pieces of Wall tile per m2
Size : 250 mm x 200 mm white glazed wall tile
Length - 1m @ 1000 mm = 4 pieces
250 mm

250 250 250 250

200 1 2 3 4

200 2
Width - 1 m @ 1000 mm
200 mm
200 3

= 5 pieces
200 4

200 5

so, Length = 1000 mm

250 mm
= 4.0 pieces

Width = 1000 mm
200 mm
= 5.0 pieces

Bilangan maksima tiles untuk 1m2 lantai:

Luas = L x W
= 4x5
= 20.0 pieces

Answer - 2 stages
STAGE 1 - Cost for 30 mm thick cement and sand (1:2) - unit in m2
STAGE 2 - Cost for Skirting 350 mm high - unit in m

1) Mortar Cost RM RM
Cement & sand mortar
1 m3 cement = 28 bag x RM 18.50 /bag = 518.00
2 2 m3 x RM 41.00 /m3 = 82.00
3 m3 600.00
ADD : 33.33 % shrinkage, waste & consolidation
33.3% x RM 600.00 = 199.98
So, Cost of 3 m3 = 799.98
:. Cost of 1 m3 = RM 799.98
3 = 266.66
2) Labour cost
Mixing mortar per 1 m3
Unskilled worker 2.20 hr x RM 40.00 = 11.00
m3 8 hr
Mortar Cost / m3 = 277.66

For 30 mm thick C & S mortar for skirting = 0.030 m

So, Cost of 0.030 m x RM 277.66 = 8.33 /m2
2) Build-up For Skirting
1) Material Cost
For 350 mm HIGH skirting per m
350 m x RM 8.33
1000 m² = 2.92 /m

2) Labour cost
Pavior 0.55 hr x RM 82.00 = 5.64 /m
m 8

Unskilled worker 0.55 hr x RM 40.00 = 2.75 /m

m 8
= 11.30 /m
ADD: Profit 16% x RM 11.30 = 1.81
Cost of Skirting 350 mm high / m = 13.11 /m
