1.0 INTRODUCTION

Estimation knowledge is one of the crucial part in being a good engineer instead of
accountability and integrity. Estimation in developing a contract document consists three
major steps which are preliminary, build-up rate and taking off. So, upon the completion of
this estimation project where we need to estimate the total cost of a building, our group has
chosen a building which is multi-purpose hall for construction project of Pembangunan
PR1MA terrace house.

Preliminary means a description of a project that allows the contractor to assess costs.
Generally, the purpose of preliminaries is to describe the works as a whole, and to specify
general conditions and requirements for the project. The costs attached to preliminaries may
also be referred to as preliminaries or prelims or site overheads or general cost items or
expenses. The cost of administering a project and providing general plan, site staff, facilities,
and site based services and other items not included in the rate. By completing the task, we
could know the method to determine the early cost by using volume method and floor area
method.

While build-up rate means the method of formulating budgets or projections by

estimating the cost of performing or achieving predetermined tasks or objectives. By
completing the build-up rate task, we could gain the knowledge to calculate the cost of
excavation.

Last but not least, taking off which means a detailed measurement of materials and
labour needed to complete a construction project. By completing the taking-off task, we are
able to calculate the cost of every element in the drawing and the general cost.
2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 CASE STUDY

The project title is Cadangan pembangunan 620 unit Perumahan Rakyat 1 Malaysia with 300
unit of terrace house type A, 192 unit type B and 128 unit type C, 1 unit Kindergarten, 1 unit
Mosque and 1 unit Multi-Purpose Hall located at Kg. Lumat Beaufort, Sabah. The main
contractor for this project is Stone EPC (Sabah) Sdn Bhd. With a lot of building type in this
housing project, our Project is only estimating the taking off, build up rate and method
estimating of Multi Purpose Hall. The Multi Purpose Hall is using IBS (interlocking brick
system) brick and has 2 level of building. The Foundation type that we are using is F8 shows
in drawing with size 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.45 and ground beam GB14 with size 150 x 500. The Multi
Purpose Hall drawing and detail were attached in appendix including beam detailing, footing
plan, ground beam and slab drawing.

3) A similar building multipurpose hall was built with a price rate of RM 250/m3 and
RM 150/m2

Item Rate
Worker salary (8 hours working/day) RM 50.00/day
Soil excavation not exceeding 1.5m depth 1.50 hour/m3
Soil excavation exceeding 1.50m but not 1.60 hour/m3

Typical soil expansion 25%
Profit 20%

1. Cost of excavation out

Total depth of excavation = 0.05 + 0.45 + 0.65 + 0.50
=1.65m

Volume of excavation (not exceed 1.50m):

V =lxwxd
= 2.5 x 2.5 x 1.5
= 9.375m3

Volume of excavation (exceed 1.50m)

V =lxwxd
= 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.15
= 0.938m3

Cost:
 = 9.375m3 x 1.50 hour x (RM50.00/8 hour) + 0.938m3 x 1.60 hour x
(RM50.00/8 hour)
= 87.89 + 9.38
= RM97.27

2. Cost spread up in making up level (surface to receive pad footing)

= (2.5m x 2.5m) x 0.12 hour x (RM50.00/8hour)

= RM 04.70

3. Cost of filling and ramming

Cost:
= [10.313m3 - (2.5m x 2.5m x 0.45m ) (0.25m x 0.375m x 0.65m) (1.06 x
0.15 x 0.5) x 2 x 0.60 hour x (RM50.00/8hour)

= (10.313m3 2.810m3 0.061m3 0.160m3) x 0.60 hour x RM6.25

= RM27.31

4. Cost of carting away remainder load

= [10.313m3 (7.282m3 x 1.25)] x 1.20 hour x RM6.25/hour

= RM09.08

5. Profit

= 20% x [RM97.27 + RM04.70 + RM27.31 + RM09.08] / 10.313

= 20% x RM13.42
= RM02.68/m3

The conclusion from this project is that we are able to learn about contract and its relation to
estimation of such project. This knowledge can be use in the future upon stepping into carrier
environment. From this project, there three type of calculation that has been used which is
preliminary that consist floor area method and volume method. Next is build up-rate and the
last one is taking off method. All these three methods are very important in completing a
project and will benefit to the developer both before and after the project is done. Preliminary
calculation is done to predict the overall cost of the project and cost for resources required
before starting the project. This will help in forecasting the cost for the project upon
completion. From the build-up rate calculation, we are able to determine the cost for
excavation work, cost for filling and ramming the soil, cost to carting away remainder load
and cost for spreading up soil in making up level. The last method is taking off where the
calculation is done to produce bill of quantity for such project. Analysis
of drawings and specifications allows the cost consultant to prepare a taking off list, which
lists all of the individual elements that comprise the works. These elements can then be
measured in number, length, area, volume, weight or time then collated and structured to
produce an unpriced bill of quantities. Therefore all this method is very useful for civil
engineering students as one of the compulsory knowledge that will be used in the future.
