Note -- (i) If centering and shuttering is paid separately , the area and xost can be found as follows
Area of centering and shuttering = Bottom and two vertical sides x length + two ends
[(40 cm + 2 x 75 cm ) x 8.60 m] + (2 x 40 cm x 75 cm ) = (1.90 x 8.60 ) + ( 2x 0.40 x 0.75 )
:= 16.34 + 0.60 = 16.94 sq

Cost of centering and shuttering @ Rs 20.00 per sq.m = 16.94 x20.00 = 338.80
(ii) For over lapping at joints 5% of the whole steel may be provided in the estimate .
