C604.4to5 2
 Recap

In the previous class we have discussed about

The Data Required for Planning

and The Importance of Planning

C604.4to5 3
 What is Preliminary Planning?

• The Planning carried out by the Engineering

Department on initiation of the proposal for a

Project either from Public or Government.

C604.4to5 4
 Feasibility Report

• Before starting a Project, it is very important to

convince the Government and Public by

submitting a Brief Report to realise the need of

the Project and for acceptance by Competent

Administrative authority .
Contd.,

C604.4to5 5
• A Brief Report submitted to convince the

Government and Public for the acceptance of

the proposal by competent Administrative

Authority

C604.4to5 6
 Feasibility Report Consists

• Brief history of the proposal

• Necessity for the project giving reasons

• Topography of the site

• Investment and Returns expected

Contd.,
C604.4to5 7
• Stages in which project could be made into use

• Sources of water, its availability, conveyance,

storage and use

• Condition of existing Roads and expenditure for

improvement

Contd.,
C604.4to5 8
• Availability of temporary accommodation for

office buildings and storage of materials

• Total cost and how to meet it

• Approximate time to complete the project

C604.4to5 9
 Preliminary Planning

While Planning for the proposed project, site

Investigation (along with detailed survey) has to

be carried out and the Department has to submit

Preliminary Estimate.

C604.4to5 10
 Site Investigation and Detailed Survey

• Site Investigation and Detailed survey will be

carried out after the approval of the

Feasibility Report. Budget is also allotted for

Site investigation and Detailed survey

Contd.,
C604.4to5 11
• Detailed Survey of area depending on nature of

work

• Alignment of roads, canals or location of buildings

or dam or head works

• Exploration of soil

• Hydrological particulars
Contd.,
C604.4to5 12
• Information regarding local regulations and

ordinance in force

• Location of quarries

• Number of cross drainage and cross masonry

works
Contd.,
C604.4to5 13
• Availability of labour, wages, etc..

• Existing and probable length of approach

roads

C604.4to5 14
 Preliminary Estimate

• It is the Approximate or Rough Cost Estimate of

the proposed work prepared for Administrative

Approval. It is accompanied by Layout Plan or

Site plan and a Brief Report of the Project

Contd.,
C604.4to5 15
• Per unit basis

• Plinth Area basis

• Cubic meter or volume basis

Contd.,
C604.4to5 16
Per unit Basis for

• Schools & Hostels : Per Student

• Hospital : Per Bed
• Canals, Roads & : Per Kilometer Length
Railways
• Bridges & Culverts : Per Running Meter
• Water Storage Tanks: Per Cubic Meter Capacity
of water

Contd.,
C604.4to5 17
• Plinth area Basis for Buildings

• Cubic Meter or Volume basis for Buildings

C604.4to5 18
 Necessity of Preliminary Estimate
• For studying the various aspects of the work
• For deciding the financial position and policy for
Administrative Approval
• To estimate the expected Revenue in case of
Commercial Projects
• For analysing the necessity and justification of the
Project

C604.4to5 19
 Detailed Estimate

• It is the Estimate of Actual cost of the Project as

per current schedule of Rates. It is an important

Information provided in the Project Report.

C604.4to5 20
 Detailed Estimate involves

• Estimation of the quantities of all items of work

based on Designs, Drawings and Maps.
• Preparation of Standard Data with the help of
current Schedule of Rates along with Lead
Statement.
• Preparation of the Abstract showing the Total
Cost of the Project.
C604.4to5 21
 Project Report

• The Report which describes the various features

of the Project, so that one can understand the

complete Picture of the Project
