Q Q
• The total centre line length is multiplied with the breath and depth of respective item
to get the total quantity in cum. Q= l X b x h
• At the corners of the building where two walls are meeting, no subtraction or
addition is required. P=Q
• At each junction (when three walls meet at a place) half breadth of the respective
item is to be deducted from the total centre length. l= CL-2*(b/2)
Example: Estimate the quantity of brick work in super structure in given plan.

Type A
Type B
For different section of walls in a building, the centre line length for each
type shall be worked out 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 center length of B type walls.
Example: Estimate the quantity of excavation in given plan.

CL for Main Wall =1(A-C)+2(A-C)
