Study Notes
Building Structures and Estimates
Load Bearing Type Structures
- Calculate details and abstract estimates for double roomed buildings using long wall and short wall methods and Centre Line Method.
- Calculate details and abstract estimates for single storied residential buildings with a certain number of rooms using Centre Line Method.
Framed Structures
- Calculate details and abstract estimates for single storied residential buildings with a certain number of rooms (Framed Structured type) using Centre Line Method.
- Calculate details and abstract estimates for two storied residential buildings with a certain number of rooms (Framed Structured type) using Centre Line Method.
Pitched Roof
- Estimate quantities of pitched roof components:
- Common rafter: 80x40mm
- Ridge piece: 120x200mm
- Eaves board: 20x300mm
Staircase
- Calculate quantities of staircase components using the given figure.
Compound Wall
- Calculate details and abstract estimates for Compound Wall using the given figure.
Estimation of Basement Steps
- Schedule of rates: a document that provides information on the rates of various items of work.
- Types of estimates:
- Preliminary estimate: a rough estimate prepared before the actual work begins.
- Detailed estimate: a detailed estimate prepared after the actual work begins.
- Revised estimate: an estimate prepared when there are changes in the original work.
- Supplementary estimate: an estimate prepared for additional work.
Analysis of Rates
- Analysis of rates: a process of breaking down the rate of an item of work into its component parts.
- Rates generally consist of:
- Labor cost
- Material cost
- Overhead cost
- Profit
Bill of Quantities and Abstract of Cost
- Bill of quantities: a document that lists out the quantities of each item of work.
- Abstract of cost: a document that summarizes the total cost of each item of work.
Units of Measurement and Payment
- Units of measurement:
- Earthwork: cubic meters
- Brickwork: square meters
- R.C.C. work: cubic meters
- Painting: square meters
- Units of payment:
- Earthwork: cubic meters
- Brickwork: square meters
- R.C.C. work: cubic meters
- Painting: square meters
Measurement of Items of Work
- Measurement of items of work:
- Painting on expanded metal: square meters
- Bending, placing, and binding reinforcement: kilograms
- Glass panes: number
- Pointing on walls: square meters
- Roofing with C.G.I. sheets: square meters
Distinctions
- Rough cost estimate vs. detailed estimate:
- Rough cost estimate: a rough estimate prepared before the actual work begins.
- Detailed estimate: a detailed estimate prepared after the actual work begins.
- Revised estimate vs. supplementary estimate:
- Revised estimate: an estimate prepared when there are changes in the original work.
- Supplementary estimate: an estimate prepared for additional work.
- Dismantling vs. demolition:
- Dismantling: the process of taking apart a structure.
- Demolition: the process of tearing down a structure.
- Administrative approval vs. technical sanction:
- Administrative approval: approval from the administration.
- Technical sanction: approval from the technical team.
- Sundries and supervision charges:
- Sundries: miscellaneous expenses.
- Supervision charges: charges for supervising the work.
Multiplying Factors
- Multiplying factors adopted in painting of various types of doors:
- Doors: 1.2
- Windows: 1.5
- Shutters: 2.0
Rules for Deduction
- Rules for deduction from plastering for opening in brick surfaces:
- Doors: 0.3 square meters
- Windows: 0.5 square meters
- Shutters: 0.7 square meters
Direct Cost and Overhead Cost
- Direct cost: the cost of labor and materials.
- Overhead cost: the cost of indirect expenses such as supervision, administration, and miscellaneous expenses.
Calculation of Quantities
- Calculation of quantities of wood work in a chowkhat of a door frame:
- 2.1 m x 1.2 m x 7.5 cm x 10 cm = 0.175 cubic meters
