    Study Notes

    Estimating and Costing (EAC)

    • Estimating is the process of calculating quantities and costs of various items required in connection with a work.
    • It is prepared by calculating the quantities from the dimensions on the drawing for various items required to complete the project and multiplied by unit cost of the item concerned.

    Purpose of Estimating

    • To know the probable cost of the project before starting construction, so that financial arrangements can be made.

    Checklist of Items of Work in Framed Structure

    • Site clearance
    • Earthwork in excavation
    • PCC bed in foundation
    • RCC in footing
    • Plinth beam
    • Column
    • Plinth filling with hard murum
    • Floor beams
    • Slab
    • Staircase
    • Flooring
    • Internal plaster
    • External plaster
    • Internal painting
    • External painting
    • Water supply and sanitary arrangement
    • Electrification

    Checklist of Items of Work in Load Bearing Structure

    • Site clearance

    • Small segmental arch opening: Deduction = l x h x t
    • Semi-circular arch opening: Deduction = 𝑙 × ℎ + × 𝑙 × 𝑟 x t

    Rules for Deductions in Plastering and Pointing

    • No deduction shall be made for ends of beams, posts, rafters, etc.
    • No deduction shall be made for openings up to 0.5 m2 and no addition is made for jambs.
    • Soffits, sills of these openings are not deducted.
