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...

Units of various items observed during work | Estimates and cost calculations

Units of various items observed during  work | Estimates and cost calculations Units for the Earth Work All the units in the earthworks are to be measured in the unit of Cubic Meter, i.e. m3, except the following; the work of the surface dressing, leveling, cleaning, etc. are to be measured in the unit of the Square Meter, i.e. m2; Cutting of the trees (Girth Specified) is measured in the Nos; For the earthwork, the normal lead and normal lifts are 30m and 1.5m respectively. Units for the Concrete Work All the work of the concrete is measured in the unit of Cubic Meter, i.e. m3, except the following; Lime concreting work that is carried at the roof terrace are measured in the Square Meter, i.e. m2; Screed concrete work is also measured in the Square Meter, i.e. m2; Sometimes PCC is also measured in the Square Meter, i.e. m2; We can say that those work under concreting where thickness is lesser, then it can be measurable in the unit of  Square Meter, i.e. m2. Units for the...

Chapter 3 - The main items of work in the detailed estimates The main items of work are as under, Earthwork - Quantities are measured in cubic meters during both excavation and filling. Concrete in foundations - The cubic meter is the unit of measurement. Brick Soling Work - The quantity is measured in square meters, and it is nothing more than a single layer of bricks laid beneath the foundation concrete. D.P.C. (Damp Proof Course) - Quantity is measured in square meters. Masonry Work - Cubic meters are used to quantify quantity. Lintels over apertures - The cubic meter is the unit of measurement. Roofing and flooring - Quantities are measured in sq m. Work with Reinforced Cement Concrete (R.C.C.) - The cubic meter is the unit of measurement. Plastering and pointing - The square meter is the unit of measurement. Pillars - Cubic meters are used to quantify quantity. Quantity is measured in square meters for doors, windows, and ventilators. Kilograms and Tonnes are...

Chapter 2 - Different Important Types of Estimates

Chapter 2 - Different Types of Estimates In our earlier article, i.e. Chapter 1 – Basic Introduction to Estimating and Quantity Surveying , we have learned about the basics of Estimates and Quantity Surveying. Now, in this article, we will be going to learn about the different types of estimates that are used to carry out the estimates in this field of Civil Engineering. Follow the article to learn more about the types of estimates, Types of Estimates Detailed estimate or Item Rate estimate or Intensive estimate. A detailed estimate is a precise estimate that is created in two steps. The first stage involves accurately extracting the measurements of each item from the drawings and computing the amounts beneath each item. The cost of each piece of work is determined in the second step, and the overall cost is computed by adding all of the expenses together. A percentage of the projected cost is added to account for those things that do not fall under any of the other headings, as well...

Chapter 1 - Basic Introduction to Estimating and Quantity Surveying

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...

6 important terms from the estimation

The 6 important terms taken from the subject of the Estimation Following are the 6 important terms from the estimation Annuity That is the annual quarterly contributions made by a party to refund the capital sum spent. Annuity Certain An annuity certain is one in which the sum of an annuity is accrued over a set number of dates or years. Annuity Due If the balance of an annuity is charged at the start of each month of the year and payments occur for a certain number of years, it is referred to as an annuity due. Deferred Annuity Deferred Annuity occurs as the payment of an annuity resumes at an unknown date after a period of years. Perpetual Annuity A lifelong annuity is one in which the contributions to an annuity begin indefinitely. Rent It is a charge made on an annual or quarterly basis for the use of land or land and construction. Thanks for reading the article, keep sharing it. Thanks, Kumar Bhanushali
