ESTIMATION
Estimation is the scientific way of working out the approximate cost of an engineering project before execution of
the work.
It is totally different from calculation of the exact cost after completion of the project.
Estimation requires a thorough Knowledge of the construction procedures and cost of materials & labor in addition to the
skill , experience, foresight and good judgment.

ESTIMATE
An estimate of the cost of a construction job is the probable cost of that job as computed from plans and
specifications.
For a good estimate the, actual cost of the proposed work after completion should not differ by more than 5 to 10 % from
its approximate cost estimate, provided there are no unusual, unforeseen circumstances.

NEED FOR ESTIMATE

1. It help to work out the approximate cost of the project in order to decide its feasibility with respect to the cost
and to ensure the financial resources, it the proposal is approved.
2. Requirements of controlled materials, such as cement and steel can be estimated for making applications to the
controlling authorities.
3. It is used for framing the tenders for the works and to check contractors work during and after the its execution
for the purpose of making payments to the contractor.
4. From quantities of different items of work calculated in detailed estimation, resources are allocated to different
activities of the project and ultimately their durations and whole planning and scheduling of the project is carried
out.

SITE CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE OVERALL COST

1 = Each type of work requires a different method of construction. Construction may be of an ordinary house or
office and it may also be of a Dam, Tunnel, Multistory building, Airport, Bridge, or a Road, already in operation.
Each of these works requires totally different construction techniques, type of machinery, and formwork.
2 = Quality of labour and labour output varies in different localities.
3 = Weather conditions greatly affect the output and, hence, the overall cost.
6. The source of availability of a sufficient supply of materials of good quality is also a factor.
7. The availability of construction machinery also affects the method of construction.
8. Access to the site must be reasonable. If the access is poor, temporary roads may be constructed.

ESSENTIAL QUALITIES OF A GOOD ESTIMATOR

In preparing an estimate, the Estimator must have good knowledge regarding the important rules of quantity surveying.
He must thoroughly understand the drawings of the structure, for which he is going to prepare an estimate.
He must also be clearly informed about the specifications showing nature and classes of works and the materials to be
used because the rates at which various types of works can be executed depend upon its specifications.

A good estimator of construction costs should possess the following capabilities, also:1 = A knowledge of the details of construction work.
2 = Experience in construction work.
3 = Having information regarding the materials required, machinery needed, overhead problems, and costs of all
kinds.
4 = Good judgment with regard to different localities, different jobs and different workmen.
5 = Selection of a good method for preparing an estimate.
6 = Ability to be careful, thorough, hard working and accurate.
7 = Ability to collect, classify and evaluate data relating to estimation.
8 = Ability to visualize all the steps during the process of construction.
Before preparing the estimate, the estimator should visit the site and make a study of conditions, there. For
example, if the construction of a large building is planned, the estimator or his representative should visit the site
and:
Note the location of the proposed building.
Get all data available regarding the soil.
Make a sketch of the site showing all important details.
Obtain information concerning light, power, and water.
Secure information concerning banking facilities.
Note conditions of streets leading to railway yards and to material dealers, and
Investigate general efficiency of local workman.

TYPES OF ESTIMATES
There are two main types of estimates:1 = Rough cost estimate.
2 = Detailed estimate.

Depending upon the purpose of estimate, some types of detailed estimate are as follows:a)Contractor's estimate
b)Engineer's estimate
c)Progress estimate

Rough cost estimate

Estimation of cost before construction from plans or architectural drawings of the project scheme, when even
detailed or structural design has not been carried out, is called Rough cost estimate.
These estimates are used for obtaining Administrative Approval from the concerning Authorities.
Sometimes, on the basis of rough cost estimates, a proposal may be dropped altogether.

Unit cost is worked out for projects similar to the project under consideration carried out recently in nearly the same
site conditions.
Unit cost means cost of execution of a unit quantity of the work.
To find rough cost of any project, this worked average unit cost is multiplied with total quantity of the present
work in the same units.
For example, in case of a building, plinth area (sq. ft.) of the proposed building is worked out, which is then
multiplied by the cost per unit area (Rs. /ft2) of similar building actually constructed in the near past in nearly the
same site conditions, to find out the rough cost estimate of the building.
This cost is sometimes adjusted by the average percentage rise in the cost of materials and wages.

The rough cost estimate may be prepared on the following basis for different types of projects:
1. Cost per square foot of covered area (plinth area) is the most commonly adopted criterion for preparing rough cost
estimate for most of the residential buildings.
2. For public buildings, cost. Per person (cost per capita) is used. For example,
Students hostel-cost per student
HospitalsCost per bed
HotelCost per Guest
3.Cost per cubic foot is particularly suitable for commercial offices, shopping centers, and factory buildings, etc.
4.For water tank/reservoir, cost may be worked out on the basis of capacity in gallons of water stored.
5.For roads and railways, cost may be found out per mile/kilometer of length.
6.For streets, cost may be per hundred feet/meters of length.
7. In case of bridges, cost per foot/meter of clear span may be calculated.

EXAMPLE
Calculate the total rough cost estimate and cost per Flat for a multi-storey (4-storeyed) block consisting of 40
residential flats. Other details are given in the table.
Add the following costs as Lump Sum :
1- Road and Walkways = 15,00,000/2- Land Scapping = 12,00,000/3- External Sewerage = 7,00,000/4- External Water Supply, Overhead and Underground Water Tanks with pumping machinery for each set of Flats =
19,00,000/5- External Electricity = 3,00,000/6- Boundary Wall = 6,00,000/7- Miscellaneous unforeseen items
= 8,00,000/8- Add 6 % development charges.
9- Add 3 % consultancy charges

DETAILED ESTIMATE
Detailed estimates are prepared by carefully and separately calculating in detail the costs of various items of the
work that constitute the whole project from the detailed working drawings after the design has been finalized.
The mistakes, if any, in the rough cost estimate are eliminated in the detailed estimate.
Detailed estimates are submitted to the competent authorities for obtaining technical sanction.
The whole project is sub-divided into different items of work or activities. The quantity for each item is then calculated
separately from the drawings as accurately as possible. The procedure is known as "taking out of quantities".
The quantities for each item may be estimated and shown in the pattern which is called "Bill of quantities."
The unit, in which each item of the wok is to be calculated, should be according to the prevailing practice as followed in
various departments of the country.

Each item of the work is then multiplied by its estimated current rate calculated by a fixed procedure to find out cost of the
item.
At the end, a total of all items of the work are made to get the total estimated cost.
The rates are usually as per Schedule of Rates for the locality plus a premium to allow for rise in labor and material rates
over and above the schedule of rates.
A percentage, usually 5% is also provided on the total estimated cost for the work to allow for the possible contingencies
due to unforeseen items or expenditure or other causes, besides 2% establishment charges.
Besides drawings and details of measurements and calculation of quantities (Bill of Quantities), the following
documents are also usually submitted with the detailed estimate for obtaining Technical Sanction:
1.A report explaining History, necessity, scope and main features of the project, its design, and estimate, etc.
2. Specifications lying down the nature and class of work and material to be used in various parts of the work.
3. The abstract of cost (priced Bill of Quantities) showing the total quantities under each sub-head, rate per unit of
measurement, and cost.
4. Calculation sheets showing calculations for important parts of the structure. In fact, in estimating the art and skill lies
only in the computation of details without any omissions, of all parts of the building or work.

CLASSIFICATION DEPENDING UPON PURPOSE OF DETAILED ESTIMATE

1- CONTRACTOR ESTIMATE It is made by the contractor for determining the price or prices to be bid. It is usually a
carefully prepared detailed estimate.
2- ENGINEERS ESTIMATE
This type of estimate is made by the Engineer (Consultant) usually for the purposes of financing the work and for checking
bids and running bills submitted by contractors.
3- PROGRESS ESTIMATES
These are made by the Engineer at regular intervals for the completed parts of the project during the progress of the work
for determining the amounts of partial payments to be made to the contractor.
On large contracts, such estimates are commonly made each month and, hence, are frequently called monthly estimates.

UNFORESEEN ITEMS IN DETAILED ESTIMATE

While preparing a detailed estimate, one had to be very careful to see that all items of the work are incorporated.
It is likely that a few Items, though unimportant in nature, might have been overlooked and which may result in raising
the estimate of the project.
There may be also certain unforeseen circumstances affecting the project.
Hence, a certain allowance usually 5 to 10% of the total cost, is made in the estimation which will take care of all these
items that are unforeseen or are overlooked and are known as "Contingencies".

METHODS OF DETAILED ESTIMATE

The dimensions, length, breadth and height or depth are to be taken out from the working drawings (plan, elevation and
section).
Junctions of walls, corners and the meeting points of walls require special attention.

For symmetrical footings, which is the usual case, earthwork in excavation in foundations, foundation concrete, brickwork
in foundation and plinth, and brickwork in superstructure may be estimated by either of the two methods:
(1) SEPARATE OR INDIVIDUAL WALL METHOD
(2) CENTER LINE METHOD
SEPARATE OR INDIVIDUAL WALLS METHOD
The walls running in one direction are termed as "long walls and the walls running in the transverse direction, as "Short
waLls", without keeping in mind which wall is lesser in length and which wall is greater in length.
Lengths of long walls are measured or found "Out-to out" and those of short walls as "In-to-in".
Different quantities are calculated by multiplying the length by the breadth and the height of the wall.
The same rule applies to the excavation in foundation, to concrete bed in foundation, D.P.C., masonry in foundation and
super structure etc.
For symmetrical footing on either side, the center line remains same for super structure, foundation and plinth. So, the
simple method is to find out the centre-to-centre lengths of long walls and short walls from the plan.
Long wall length out-to-out
= Center to center length + half breadth on one Side + half breadth on other side.
= Center to center length + one breadth
Short wall length in-to-in = Center to Center length - one breadth.
This method can also be worked out in a quicker way., as follows:
For long walls
First of all, find the length of the foundation trench of the long wall out-to-out in the same manner as explained above.
The length of the foundation concrete is the same.
For the length of the first footing or first step of the brick wall, subtract two offsets (2x6"=12") in foundation concrete
from the length of the trench or concrete.
For the second footing subtract from the length of the 1st footing two offsets (2x2.25"= 4.5"), for 3rd footing subtract from
the length of the 2nd footing 2 offsets (4.5") and in this way deal with the long walls up to the super-structure.

For short walls

Follow he same method but instead of subtracting add two offsets to get the corresponding lengths in-to-in.

CENTRE LINE METHOD

In this method, total length of centre lines of walls, long and short, has to be found out.
Find the total length of centre lines of walls of same type, having same type of foundations and footings and then find the
quantities by multiplying the total centre length by the respective breadth and the height.
In this method, the length will remain the same for excavation in foundations, for concrete in foundations, for all footings,
and for superstructure (with slight difference when there are cross walls or number of junctions).
This method is quicker but requires special attention and considerations at the junctions, meeting points of partition or
cross walls.
For rectangular, circular polygonal (hexagonal, octagonal etc) buildings having no inter or cross walls, this method is quite
simple.
For buildings having cross or partition walls, for every junction, half breadth of the respective item or footing is to be
deducted from the total centre length.
Thus in the case of a building with one partition wall or cross wall having two junctions, deduct one breadth of the
respective item of work from the total centre length.
For buildings having different types of walls, each set of walls shall have to be dealt separately.
Find the total centre length of all walls of one type and proceed in the same manner as described above. Similarly find the
total centre length of walls of second type and deal this separately, and so on.
Suppose the outer walls (main walls) are of A type and inner cross walls are of B type.
Then all A type walls shall be taken jointly first, and then all B type walls shall be taken together separately.
In such cases, no deduction of any kind need be made for A type walls, but when B type walls are taken, for each junction
deduction of half breadth of A type walls (main Walls) shall have to be made from the total centre length of B type walls.

At corners of the building where two walls are meeting, no subtraction or addition is required.
In the figure, the double cross-hatched areas marked P,Q,R, & S come twice, while blank areas, A,B,C, & D do not come at all,
but these portions being equal in magnitude, we get the correct quantity.

DESCRIPTION AND UNITS OF MEASUREMENT FOR COMMON ITEMS

1 = SITE CLEARANCE WORKS
This item is described in detail but the price of this item is usually indicated as lump sum (LS).
The cost of this item is provided in the estimate by judgment, according to the description of the item and is indicated as
Lump sum (L.S).
2 = EXCAVATION FOR FOUNDATION TRENCHES
Earthwork in excavation for foundation trenches is calculated by taking the dimensions of each trench as length X breadth
X depth.
It is measured in cubic ft, cubic yard or cubic meter, according to the prevailing practice.
The payment for this item is generally done as Rs. per hundred cubic ft.

Filling in trenches after the construction of foundation masonry is ordinary neglected. If the trench filling is, also taken
in account, it may be calculated by deducing the volume of masonry in trenches from that of the volume of excavation.
3 = FOUNDATION CONCRETE (P.C.C.)
The type of concrete must be clearly mentioned. The mix proportions and the type of cement, sand and coarse aggregate
must be specified.
This item is measured in cubic ft and the unit for measurement is, generally Rs. per 100 cubic ft.
When the soil is soft or weak, one layer of dry bricks or stone soling is applied below the foundation concrete. The soling
layer is computed in sq.ft (length X breadth), specifying the thickness in description of item.
4 = BRICKWORK IN FOUNDATION UP TO PLINTH
Care must be taken, while taking dimensions from the drawings in the bill of quantities because the walls in this
part of the structure are in the form of steps with changing dimensions.
This item is calculated in cft and the unit for payment is Rs. per 100 cft.

In the description of work, the quality of bricks and mortar ratio must be specified. For example,
"Brickwork in foundation and plinth using first class bricks laid in (1:4) or (1:6) cement-sand (c/s) mortar

5 = BRICKWORK IN SUPER STRUCTURE Important considerations are:

a = Measurements of walls shall be taken in the same order and in the same manner as for brickwork in foundations and
plinth.
b = In the first measurements, all openings such as doors, windows, veranda openings etc. shall be neglected. However,
deductions shall be made for all openings in the walls, at the end of the item.
c = In the description of the work, the quality of bricks and mortar ratio have to be specified.
d = Masonry for arches shall be paid separately, at a different rate.
e = The height of super structure is very important. Generally the quantities are worked out for each storey separately and
rates would be different for different storeis because of additional labor work, scaffolding and shuttering.
f = The item is worked out in cft and the standard unit for payment is Rs. Per 100 cft.

6 = DAMP PROOF COURSE (D.P.C.)

Horizontal D.P.C. shall extend the full width of the super structure walls, however, it shall not be provided across doorways
and veranda openings. It is also provided in roof and floors.
Vertical D.P.C. is provided in external walls, especially, in the walls of basements.
The quantity of D.P.C. is estimated in square ft.(on area basis) and standard unit for payment is Rs. per 100 sft.

7 = ROOFING & RCC WORKS

Area of the Roof slab is calculated by taking inside dimensions of the room plus a bearing of the roof slab on the walls, on
all sides.
For R.C.C. Roof slabs and beams, the total quantities of concrete and steel are estimated, separately.
The quantity of plain concrete is estimated in cft and the standard unit for payment of concrete is Rs. per 100 cft.
Volume of Reinforcing Steel is not deducted , while estimating the volume of plain concrete for payment.
R.C.C. lintels over wall openings such as doors and windows are also included in R.C.C. work.

Roof consisting of beams, battens, and tiles or wooden planks is estimated for each part, separately.
Steel beam is estimated by weight, whereas, wooden beam is measured in cft. Battens are estimated by numbers indicating
there size and lengths. Tiles are also estimated by size and numbers.
Roof finishing may consist of bitumen coating and/or Polythene sheets (water proofing) , earth filling (heat proofing) and
brick tiles, etc.
Dimensions are taken from inner face to inner face of parapet walls.
This item is estimated in sft and a composite rate for payment is taken as Rs. per 100 sft of the roof area.
8 = REINFORCEMENT STEEL / GENERAL STEEL WORK
Steel is provided separately from R.C.C. per ton, per Kg, or per cwt (standard weight also called Quintal or century weight
equal to 112 Ibs = 50Kg).
Quantity of steel can either be worked out by rules of thumb practice or by intensive calculations taking the length and
diameter of steel bars from the working drawings showing reinforcement details and bar-bending schedules. In taking
length of bars, due margin of hooks, bends and overlapping is given .

As a Rule Of Thumb Practice, for ordinary beams and slabs for residences, assume 6.75 Ibs of steel per cft of R.C.C.
work. However, for R.C.C. columns, it varies from 8 to 10 Ibs per cft., because normally, we use 2% of steel in
columns.
Percentage of steel means, area of steel divided by total area of the column multiplied by 100 and 1% of steel in
columns corresponds to a quantity of 4.5 Ibs/cft.

9 = FLOORS
Cement concrete floors. Mosaic floors, and brick floors are most commonly used.
Payments are made separately for different layers, like, topping, lean concrete, sand filling, earth filling, etc.
Earth filling, sand filling and lean concrete are paid by volume, whereas, topping is paid on area basis, mentioning
thickness in the description.
Standard unit for payment of topping is, usually, Rs. per 100 sft.
The skirting is estimated in running ft.

10 = PLASTERING
The type of plaster, proportioning of materials and minimum thickness of plaster have to be specified.
The quantity is calculated for total wall surface without deduction for openings such as doors windows, ventilators, etc.
However, if the wall is being plastered on both the faces, the deductions for opening areas are made from one side only.
Standard unit for payment is Rs. per 100 sft.
Height is also specified for plastering because, for greater heights, labor cost increases. The rate varies according to the
number of the storey .
11 = WOODWORK/CARPENTRY
The type of material used and the quantity of finish required should be clearly indicated in the description of the item.
The rate for any type of woodwork includes cutting of timber to required sizes, joinery work, fittings and fastenings, three
coats of oil paints or varnish, bolts, locks, handles, etc.
The measurements are taken for the overall area of doors, windows, etc. If volume of timber required for these items is to
be finding out, the computed area is multiplied with the nominal thickness and an allowance of 25% is made for wastage of
timber.
Rectangular wooden beams, vertical columns, trusses, etc., are measured in cft.
Wooden stairs are measured in number of steps and description of the item includes the riser, tread, and width of the
steps.
Wooden shelves are measured in running ft (RFT).
12 = PLUMBING WORK/SANITARY FITTINGS
For water supply and drainage works in a building, the pipe lines and sewer lines are measured in RFT, while other items
are measured in numbers.
These items include wash hand basins (W.H.B.), kitchen basins (which may be of glazed ceramic, mosaic, or stainless steel),
water closets (W.C., which may be of European type, or local type), flushing tanks (also known as flushing cisterns), shower
rose, and all type of water tapes.
Within sewer lines, man holes or inspection chambers are to be provided at every corner and also at a distance,
not exceeding every 50 ft inside the house and every 100 ft outside the house.
The size of man hole may be 2.5ft X 2,5ft for low depths and 3ft X 3ft, 4ft X 4ft or 5ft X 5ft for deep depths.

Drainage pipe lines outside the covered area but inside the boundary wall are, usually, of R.C.C. with minimum
diameter 4 in, however, these are available in different sizes.
Inside the building, drainage pipe is, usually, of C.I. with minimum diameter 3 in.
Water supply pipes are, usually, G.I. pipes., estimated in RFT in different dias.
Other accessories, like sockets, elbows, tees, reducers, unions, etc., are estimated in numbers.
13 = ELECTRIC FITTINGS
All the accessories used in electric fittings are described in detail and payment is done in numbers or RFT.
All wires and pipes are taken in RFT while other items are taken in Nos.
