estimate
An estimate is the anticipated or
probable cost of work and is usually
prepared before the construction is
take up. It is indeed calculations or
computations of various items of
an engineering work
QUANTITY SURVEY
 It is the schedule of all items
 of work in a building. These quantities are
 calculated from the drawing of the building. Thus
quantity survey gives
 quantities of work done in case of each items,
SPECIFICATIONS
 Detailed specifications gives the nature, quality and
class of work, materials to
 be used in the various parts of work , quality of the
material, their proportions,
 method of preparat
 ion, workmanship and description of execution of
work are
 required
RATES
 The rates of various items of works, materials to be
used in the construction and
 the wages of different categories of labor (skilled and
unskilled).
SITE PLAN
 it is the plan drawn for a particular construction
showing its position with
 respect to approaching roads, main bazars, markets
and other permanent features in a populated area
LINE PLAN
 Line plan can be defined as the plan of a particular
construction simply showing main features with the
help of the single lines of different portions ofthe
constructions. Details of constructions are not
generally shown on this plan.
 This inside and outside dimensions shown on this plan
should necessarily be
 corresponding to actual dimensions.
INDEX PLAN
 This is the plan of a particular colony showing the
positions of different houses
 in single lines their number if any position of roads,
schools, market, hospitals
 and other features etc. this plan is generally fixed on
the entrance, or at exit or in the central place of the
colony, for the guidance of the inhabitants and
outsiders.
DETAILED PLAN
 This plan indicates a plan of a construction drawn to a
definite scale, showing
 all detailed information required for its execution.
Various sections and elevations are clearly drawn on
this plan.
CENTRE LINE PLAN
 This is actually a layout plan drawn to facilitate the
laying out of foundation lines and other features.
 It is generally fixed on the entrance or at exit in the
central place of the colony for the guidance of the
inhabitants and outsiders.
SUPPLEMANTARY ESTIMATE
 When some additions are done in the original work, a
fresh detailed estimate is prepared to supplement the
original work.
 This estimate is called supplementaryestimate.
 It is also accompanied by all the papers as required in
thru detailed estimate.
ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL
 For any project required by the department an
approval so sanction of the competent authority with
respect to the cost and work is necessary at the first
 instance.
TECHNICAL SANCTION
 It means the sanction and order by the competent
authority of the department for
 the detailed estimate design calculations quantities of
work rates and cost of work..after the technical
sanction of the estimate is received the work is then
 taken up for construction.
LUMPSUM ITEMS
 Sometimes while preparing est
 imate for the certain small items like front
 architecture or decoration work of a building it is not
possible to workout
 detailed quantities so far such lump sum items a lump
sum rate is provided
PLINTH AREA
 The built up covered area of a building measured at
floor level of any storey is called plinth area.
CIRCULATION AREA
 The total cost of construction including all
expenditures incurred plus the cost of external
servicesup to the end of the completion of the work is
called capital cost
preparing an estimate
 1. Drawings like plan, elevation and sections of
important points.
 2. Detailed specifications about workmanship&
properties of materials etc.
 3. Standard schedule of rates of the current year.
UNITS OF MEASUREMENTS
 The units of measurements are mainly categorized for their
nature, shape and size and for making payments to the
contractor
 a) Single units work like doors, windows, trusses etc., is
expressed in numbers.
 b) Works consists linear measurements involve length like
cornice, fencing, hand rail, bands of specified width etc., are
expressed in running meters (RM)
 c) Works consists areal surface measurements involve area like
plastering, white washing, partitions of specified thickness etc.,
and are expressed in square meters (m2)

RULES FOR MEASUREMENT
 1. Measurement shall be made for finished item of work and description of each item
shall include materials, transport, labor, fabrication tools and plant and all types of
overheads for finishing the work in required shape, size and specification.
 2. In booking, the order shall be in sequence of length, breadth and height or
 All works shall be measured subject to the following tolerances.
 I) linear measurement shall be measured to the nearest 0.01m.
 ii) Areas shall be measured to the nearest 0.01 sq.m
 iii) Cubic contents shall be worked-out to the nearest 0.01 cum
 4.
REQUIREMENTS OF ESTIMATION
AND COSTING
 Estimate gives an idea of the cost of the work and hence its feasibility
can be
 determined i.e. whether the project could be taken up with in the
funds available or not.
 2. Estimate gives an idea of time required for the completion of the
work.
 3. Estimate is required to invite the tenders and Quotations and to
arrange contract.
 4. Estimate is also required to control the expenditure during the
execution of work.
 5. Estimate decides whether the proposed plan matches the funds
available or not
PROCEDURE OF ESTIMATING OR
METHOD OF ESTIMATING
 1. Preparing detailed Estimate.
 2. Calculating the rate of each unit of work
 3. Preparing abstract of estimate
DATA REQUIRED TO PREPARE AN
ESTIMATE
 1. Drawings i.e. plans, elevations, sections etc.
 2. Specifications.
 3. Rates.
LUMPSUM contract
 While preparing an estimate, it is not possible to work out in
detail in case of petty items. Items other than civil engineering
such items are called lump sum items or simply L.S.Items. exp
 1. Water supply and sanitary arrangements.
 2. Electrical installations like meter, motor, etc.,
 3. Architectural features.
 4. Contingencies and unforeseen items.
WORK CHARGED
ESTABLISHMENT
 During the construction of a project considerable
number of skilled supervisors, work assistance, watch
men etc., are employed on temporary basis. The
salaries of these persons are drawn from the L.S.
amount allotted towards the work charged
establishment. That is, establishment which is charged
directly to work. AnL.S.amount of 1½ to 2% of the
estimated cost is provided towards the work charged
establishment.
DETAILS OF MEASUREMENTS AND
CALCULATION OF QUANTITIES
Abstract of Estimated Cost
FACTORS TO BE CONSISDERED
WHILE PREPARING DETAILED
ESTIMATE
 i) Quantity and transportation of
materials:
For bigger project, the requirement
of materials is more. such bulk
volume of materials will be
purchased and transported
definitely at cheaper rate.
FACTORS TO BE CONSISDERED
WHILE PREPARING DETAILED
ESTIMATE
 ii) Location of site:
 The site of work is selected, such that it should reduce
damage or in transit during loading, unloading,
stocking of materials.
 iii) Local labor charges:
 The skill, suitability and wages of local labors are
considered while preparing the detailed estimate
FIXING OF RATE PER UNIT OF AN
ITEM
 1) Quantity of materials & cost:
 The requirement of materials is taken strictly in
accordance with standard data book(S.D.B). The cost
of these includes first cost, freight, insurance and
transportation charges.
 2) Cost of labour:
 The exact number of labourers required for unit of
work and the multiplied by the wages/ day to get of
labour for unit item work.
 3) Cost of equipment (T&P):
 Some works need special type of equipment, tools and
plant. In such case, an amount of 1 to 2% of estimated
cost is provided.
 4)Overhead charges:
 To meet expenses of office rent, depreciation of
equipment salaries of staff postage, lighting an
amount of 4% of estimate cost is allocated.
METHODS OF PREPARATION OF
APPROXIMATE ESTIMATE
 Preliminary or approximate estimate is required for
studies of various aspects of work of project and for its
administrative approval
 The approximate estimate is prepared from the
practical knowledge and cost of similar works
 A percentage 5 to 10% is allowed for contingencies. The
following are the methods used for preparation of
approximate estimates.
 a) Plinth area method
 b) Cubical contents methods
 c) Unit base method
 1.4.9 Plinth area method
 The cost of construction is determined by multiplying
plinth area with plinth area rate. The area is obtained
by multiplying length and breadth (outer dimensions
of building).
 aspect of materials and labour, type of foundation,
height of building, roof,
 wood work, fixtures, number of storey’s etc., As per IS
3861-1966, the following areas
 include while calculating the plinth area of building
 Cubical Contents Method
 This method is generally used for multistoreyed
buildings. It is more accurate that the other two
methods viz., plinth area method and unit base
method. The cost of a structure is calculated
approximately as the total cubical contents (Volume of
buildings) multiplied by Local Cubic Rate
 The cost of building= volume of buildings x rate/ unit
volume.
PROBLEMS

 1. Estimation of different foundations, steps and
boundary walls.
 Example : 1 From the Drawing given below determine
 (a) Earth work excavation
 (b) CC (1:5:10) Bed
 (c) R.R.Masonry in C.M. (1:6)
 (d) Brick Work in C.M.(1:6).
