An estimate is a calculation of the quantities of various items of work, and the expenses likely to be incurred there on.

The total of these probable expenses to be incurred on the work is known as estimated cost of the work. (close approximation of its actual cost)

The agreement of the estimated cost with the actual cost will depend on accurate use of estimating methods and correct visualization of the work, as it will be done.

2

To give a reasonably accurate idea of the cost

An estimate is necessary to give the owner a reasonably accurate idea of the cost to help him decide whether the work can be undertaken as proposed or needs to be curtailed or abandoned, depending upon the availability of funds and prospective direct and indirect benefits.

3

1. Estimating Materials

From the estimate of a work it is possible to determine what materials and in what quantities will be required for the work so that the arrangements to procure them can be made.

2. Estimating Labor

The number and kind of workers of different categories who will have to be employed to complete the work in the specified time can be found out from the estimate.

4

3. Estimating Plant

An estimate will help in determining amount and kind of equipment needed to complete the work.

4. Estimating Time

The estimate of a work and the past experience enable one to estimate quite closely the length of time required to complete an item of work or the work as a whole. Whereas the importance of knowing the probable cost needs no emphasis, estimating materials, labor, plant and time is immensely useful in planning and execution of any work.

Measuring- A process of evaluating items from

prepared working drawing n noting in the BOQ form.

- This evaluation is to obtain the items quantity in specific unit.

6

Method of measuring are;i) linearii) areaiii) volumeiv) weightv) number

7

Multiple items measured linearly Measure items with fixed cross section Estimate item price based on linear

item’s measurement such as length of pipe, length iof strip foundation and length of external wall of a building

Unit : metre ( m)

8

Measure item such as pavement surface, plaster, brick wall, site clearing, formwork and so on

Measurement that is required to record are length and width, width and depth @ length and height.

Unit : squre metre ( m2)

9

Involve item such as soil excavation for foundation, concreting for beam, slab and others

Sides measurement are length, width and depth for item with three surfaces

Structures like pyramids, cone, spherical and cylindrical require measurement based on mathematical formula to calculate volume.

Unit : cubic metre ( m3)10

Applied when item estimated is based on weight

Applied for item such as reinforcement steel placed in the reinforced concrete structure

Unit : kilogram to metric tonne ( kg to tonne)

11

Applied for complex item where it is difficult to divide into small component and to estimate the price of each component.

Those items include electrical wiring such as lighting socket, fan point , door, window and precast concrete

Unit : Number ( No)

Table : Example of weight measurement of reinforcement13

Item’s cost is divided into:i) material costii) Labour costiii) plant and equipment costsiv) overhead cost and profit

14

i) Material cost- Material cost such as brick, roof tile,

glass and iron- Estimated price depend on the

latest marker price and location of site.

15

ii) Labour cost- A fee or wages to the workers after

work has been completed.

- Two classes of workers are;a. skilled workerb. general worker

- The determination of fee depends on the labour constant

16

iii) Plant and equipment costs- Plant and equipment important to

execute work effectively and quickly.

- Two types;a. non machinery plant and equipment; ladder n wheel barrowb. machinery plant and equipment;

lorry, bulldozer n concrete mixer

17

iv) overhead and profit cost- Include various type of payment related

to the company’s management;a. salary of management personnelb. cost and office equipment depreciation costc. allowances for company’s board of directors

18

There are 5 methods of preparing estimation for

construction project;i) Volumeii) Floor areaiii) Evaluationiv) Approximate value quantitiesv) Bills of quantities

19

- Based on the building length, width and height

- The construction cost of the proposed building is the product of the volume of the proposed building and the cost rate per cubic meter

20

- Determined by multiplying the floor length to width ( measured from outer wall of the building)

- Construction cost of the new building = x

- Only considers the construction cost of the building.

- Other construction work such as fence, road, drainand landscape are not included.

Area of the new building

the cost rate per cubic metre of the existing building

21

Carried out by counting the number of furniture, tools @ number of occupants.

For example, the unit to be calculated in construction of school is the number of chairs.

Every unit of the furniture is given the cost per unit based on the cost from the existing building.

Estimated cost = Cost per unit x Number of the furniture for proposed building

22

Almost similar to the bills of quantities method Carried out by identifying items, calculating

quantity and calculating the item’s gross cost based on the working drawing.

Calculating cost are based on excavation work and concreting work.

23

A bill of quantities (BOQ) is a

document

used in tendering in the construction

industry in which materials, parts, and

labor (and their costs) are itemized.

24

It also (ideally) details the terms and

conditions of the construction or repair

contract and itemises all work to enable

a contractor to price the work for which

he or she is bidding.

25

Most accurate method compared to the others method

QS take off accurately the quantity of measured items from the working drawing

26

Step in preparing ;1. interpreting drawing2. dimensioning and taking off the quantities3. grouping of quantities4. estimating cost

BILL OF QUANTITIES METHOD

27

Dimensioning and taking off quantities is a process of taking dimension, adding up and multiplying the items dimension.

Use the quantity measurement form- consist 2 parts- each part contains 4 column- they are multiplying, dimensions, total and work description columns.

Abstracting quantities is carried out by abstracting

Transfer all measurement and work descriptions from the dimension form to abstract form

Purpose of abstracting – to divide and group all particulars and work descriptions according to subheading and the quantities are rounded up
