How to find out the Construction Cost of a 750 Sqft House Slab in the Year 2021? Here we go for the steps we need to take care of for finding the Construction Cost of a 750 Sqft House Slab in the Year 2021 Volume Calculations Table-1 Material Calculations Qty of Cement Required Please Note: Always Use M20 (1:1.5:3) Grade of Concrete for Slab Total Ratio = 1+1.5+3 = 5.5 Now, converting the quantity from cum to kg, we need the density of the cement in the unit of the kg/cum, and the density of the cement is 1440kg/cum As we know that 50 kgs of the cement make 1 bag, hence, 3567.942 kgs in bags will be 71.359 bags Qty of Sand Required To convert the cum of sands in cft, we have to multiply the quantity by 35.314, hence, the sand required in cft will be 131.248 cft Qty of Aggregates Required Converting the cum to cft, we should multiply the quantity by 35.314, hence, the aggregates required in cft will be 262.496 cft Qty of Reinf Steel Required Considering the qty of steel, 0.5% to 1.00%

Estimating the Construction cost for 1000 sqft Plinth Area For the Year 2020-2021 Hello, friends today we are going to see how to estimate the construction cost for a 1000 Sqft plinth area for the year 2020-2021. Before going to proceed towards the process for the estimation, we are going to know the thumb rules which will be helpful for us to identify the construction cost. Construction cost per unit as per the classification of the construction type Table - 1 Thumb Rule - % wise role of various construction components on the total costing of the construction Table - 2 Estimating the Construction cost for 1000 sqft Plinth Area We are going to estimate the construction cost for Class-B Type Construction with minimum rates as shown in Table 1 (Estimating with Minimum Const. Rates per Unit | Class B Type) Table - 3 Now we have seen that as per  Table - 1, for Class B Type Construction and for 1000 Sqft area we required around Rs.11,00,000.00 for construction. Moving further towards the e

Chapter 1 - Introduction to estimating and Surveying by EngineersIndia Introduction to Estimating Estimating may be described as a prediction of the likely cost of a construction or a project before the work begins. It takes talent, experience, foresight, and excellent judgment on the side of the estimator, as well as a thorough understanding of the materials and labor costs involved in the project. If labor and material costs stay constant, a reasonable estimate should not deviate by more than 15% from the actual cost of the project after completion. Guesswork entails making a random decision based on all relevant information. It may result in a figure that is either too high or too low. Estimating aids in the alteration or modification of a project to fit inside a budget. It is helpful in preparing tenders for construction projects and inspecting the work done by contractors for interim and final payments. It also serves as a foundation for determining the regular rent for buildi
