Construction Cost of a 750 Sqft House Slab in the Year 2021

Image
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...

Estimating the Construction cost for 1000 sqft Plinth Area

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 t...

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...

12 basic things you should know about the civil engineering

Image
About Civil Engineering, Did you know these about? 12 basic things you should know about the civil engineering. 1. The weight of the Reinforcement Steel is calculated with the help of the formula, D2/162. Where D is the diameter of the reinforcement. 2. For the cube test two types of specimens either cubes of 15cm X 15cm X 15cm or 10cm X 10cm x 10cm depending upon the size of aggregate are used. For most of the works cubical molds of size, 15cm x 15cm x 15cm are commonly used. 3. The concrete cubes are filled into the 3 layers 4. The slump cone is filled into the 4 layers 5. The minimum % of the steel used in the column is 0.08% of the gross area 6. The maximum % of the steel used in the column is 6.00% of the gross area 7. The minimum % of the steel used in the beam is 1.00% of the gross area 8. The maximum % of the steel used in the beam is 2.00% of the gross area 9. The minimum % of the steel used in the slab is 0.70% of the gross area 10. The maximum % of the steel used in the slab...
