CHAPTER (1) PROCEDURE OF ESTIMATING

INTRODUCTION

1) What is Estimated Cost?

- to know beforehand the probable cost of construction for all
engineering works
2) How to prepare Estimate?
- by using sample measuring method.
- by calculating the quantities of different items of works
- by having knowledge of drawing, is essential
- by multiplying length, breadth and height (or) length and breadth (or)
length and height
- by finding the dimension from the drawing (plans, elevations,
sections, etc.,)

UNIT - SI

1. Length = (m) Metre

2. Area = (sq.m) Square Metre
3. Volume = (cu.m) Cubic Metre
4. Mass = (Kg) Kilogram
5. Capacity = (L) Litre

Unit Conversion

1 yard = 0.9144 m (or) 1 m = 1.09361 yard = 3.28084 ft

What is Estimate?

-Probable Cost of Work

-Prepared before construction
-Computed or Calculating the quantities and suitable rates

Data for Estimate

1. Drawing – Plan, Sectional Elevation and detailed drawing to scale, full
dimensioned are required.
2. Specification- General Specifications : These gives the nature, quality and class of
work and material in general terms
- Detailed Specifications: These give the detailed description of the
various items of work, qualities of materials,
proportions, the method of preparation,
workmanship and execution of work

3. Rate – The rate per unit of various items of work, the rates of various material and
wages of different categories of labor, skilled or unskilled

Different Types of Estimate

(1) Preliminary Estimate or Approximate Estimate or Abstract

Estimate or Rough Cost Estimate

 Required for preliminary studies of various aspects of a work or

project.

 Decided the financial position and policy for administrative sanction

 Known the project is justified or not

 Prepared from the practical knowledge and cost of the similar works

(2) Plinth Area Estimate for Building (P.A.E)

- Preparing on the basis of plinth area of building
- Multiplying by the plinth area of the building and plinth area rate

Plinth area = building carpet area +area occupied by corridors,(verandahs,

lavatories, staircases, etc) + area occupied by walls

(3) Cube Rate Estimate for Building

- Preparing on the basis of cubical content of building (LxBxH)

- Multiplying by the cubical content of the building and Cube rate

( Estimated cost = Cubical content x C.C.E rate )

Height H = h +

R = tanθ + 𝑠𝑒𝑐θ

Where,
R = rise of roof
B = outside to outside dimension of wall plate
r = thickness of rafter
p = thickness of purlin
Ө = slope of the roof

Solution-

Prepare the plinth area estimate for a single storeyed masonry building with 0.23m
(225mm) wall and 0.056m (56.25mm) plinth projection. P.A.E rate = 120000 kyats/sqm
Solution-
L1 = 3.65m + 6m + (3 x 0.23)m + ( 2 x 0.056)m
= m
B1 = 6.23m + (2x 0.23)m + (2x0.056)m
= m
A1 = L1 x B1 = mx m
= m2
L2 = 3.65m + (2 x 0.23)m + (2 x 0.056)m
=
B2 = 2.4m + 0.23m =
A2 = L2 x B2 = mx m
= m2
Total Plinth Area = A1 + A2 = m2 + m2
= m 2

Estimated Cost = Total Plinth Area x P.A.E rate

= sqm x 120000 kyats/sqm
= kyats

Prepare the plinth area estimate for a single storeyed masonry building with 0.23m
(225mm) wall and 0.11m plinth projection. P.A.E rate = 90000 kyats/sqm

Prepare the estimated cost of given one storeyed masonry bulding with 9” brick wall.
C.C.E rate is taken as 80 kyats/ft3
Solution-
L = 25 ft + (9/12) ft + (9/12)ft = 26.5 ft
B = 15 ft + (9/12) ft + (9/12) ft = 16.5 ft

R= tanθ + 𝑠𝑒𝑐θ
.
= tan30 + 𝑠𝑒𝑐30
= 5.53 ft
h = 3ft – 1ft + 1.5 ft +12 ft = 15.5 ft
.
Height H = h + = 15.5 + = 18.265 ft

Cubical Content = Lx Bx H
= 26.5 ft x 16.5 ft x 18.625 ft
= 7986.37 ft3
Estimated Cost = Cubical Content x C.C.E rate
= 7986.37 ft3 x 80 kyats/ft3
= 638909 kyats
