2.0 ESTIMATING AND COSTING

Estimating is the technique of calculating or computing the various quantities and the
expected Expenditure to be incurred on a particular work or project. In case the funds
available are less than the estimated cost the work is done in part or by reducing it or
specifications are altered, the following requirement are necessary for preparing an
estimate.
a) Drawings like plan, elevation and sections of important points.
b) Detailed specifications about workmanship & properties of materials etc.
c) Standard schedule of rates of the current year.

2.1 NEED FOR ESTIMATION AND COSTING

1. Estimate give 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.

2.2 PROCEDURE OF ESTIMATING OR METHOD OF ESTIMATING.

Estimating involves the following operations

1. Preparing detailed Estimate.
2. Calculating the rate of each unit of work
3. Preparing abstract of estimate

2.4 DATA REQUIRED TO PREPARE AN ESTIMATE

1. Drawings i.e. plans, elevations, sections etc.

2. Specifications.
3. Rates.

3.0 RATE ANALYSIS

In order to determine the rate of a particular item, the factors affecting the rate of that
item are studied carefully and then finally a rate is decided for that item. This process
of determining the rates of an item is termed as analysis of rates or rate analysis.
The rate of particular item of work depends on the following.
1. Specifications of works and material about their quality, proportion and
constructional
Operation method.
2. Quantity of materials and their costs.
3. Cost of labours and their wages.
4. Location of site of work and the distances from source and conveyance charges.
5. Overhead and establishment charges
6. Profit

3.1 PROCEDURE OF RATE ANALYSIS

3.1.1 Cost of materials at source and at site of construction.

The costs of materials are taken as delivered at site inclusive of the transport local
taxes and other charges.
Purpose of Analysis of rates:
1. To work out the actual cost of per unit of the items.
2. To work out the economical use of materials and processes in completing the
particulars item.
3. To work out the cost of extra items which are not provided in the contract bond, but
are to be done as per the directions of the department.
4. To revise the schedule of rates due to increase in the cost of material and labour or
due to change in technique.
3.1.2 Cost of labour -types of labour, standard schedule of rates

The labour can be classified in to

1) Skilled 1st class
2) Skilled 2nd Class
3) Unskilled
The labour charges can be obtained from the standard schedule of rates 30% of the
skilled labour provided in the data may be taken as 1st class, remaining 70% as II
class. The rates of materials for Government works are fixed by the superintendent
Engineer for his circle every year and approved by the Board of Chief Engineers.
These rates are incorporated in the standard schedule of rates.
3.1.3 Lead statement:

The distance between the source of availability of material and construction site is
known as "Lead and is expected in Km. The cost of conveyance of material depends
on lead. This statement will give the total cost of materials per unit item. It includes
first cost, conveyance loading, unloading stacking, charges etc. The rate shown in the

lead statement are for metalled road and include loading and staking charges. The
environment lead on the metalled roads are arrived by multiplying by a factor
a) For metal tracks - Lead x 1.0
b) For carts tracks - Lead x 1.1
c) For Sandy tracks - Lead x 1.4
