This document provides an analysis of rates for construction works in Delhi, India. It contains basic rates for materials, labor, equipment hire, and carriage. The basic rates section includes hire rates for plants like concrete mixers and road rollers. Labor rates are the minimum wages set by the Government of Delhi. Material rates are based on market rates in Delhi from April to October 2007. Sundries are considered at 1 times the cost index. The analysis aims to provide rate analysis for various construction items using the latest construction methods and materials.
The capacity of doing work by an artisan or skilled labour in the form of quantity of work per day is known as the task work or out turn of the labour.
The out-turn of work per artisan varies to some extent according to the nature, size, height, situation, location, etc., In bigger cities where specialized and experienced labour is available the out-turn is greater than small towns and country sides. In well organized work less labour is required.
This document discusses various methods of construction cost estimation, including preliminary estimates, plinth area method, cubical contents method, unit base method, abstract estimates, detailed estimates, bottom up method, and square foot estimates. It also discusses factors that influence specification, rate analysis, and final estimates. Preliminary estimates provide early project costs but have low accuracy of 20-30%. Detailed estimates use quantities, rates, and specifications to determine costs more accurately. The bottom up method aggregates task estimates to determine total project costs.
Estimating and Tendering methods for Construction WorkDaniel Ross

The document discusses different project procurement methods:
1. The traditional method involves the client hiring separate consultants like designers, quantity surveyors, and structural engineers to design the project before appointing a contractor.
2. Design-build arrangements allow the contractor to take responsibility for both design and construction. This provides single-point responsibility and prices that better reflect final costs.
3. Management contracting appoints a contractor to contribute construction expertise during design and later manage subcontractors on site to finish on time and budget. This allows construction to start before full design and improves coordination.
This document provides guidelines for preparing standard bills of quantities for road projects in Abu Dhabi, UAE. It is divided into five chapters, with Chapter 5 focusing on work classification sections for the bill of quantities. These sections include lists of principal quantities, preambles, daywork schedules, work items divided into various parts, grand summaries, and schedules of rate breakdowns. The document aims to standardize bills of quantities based on the Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement to improve cost estimating precision and ensure consistent tender pricing.
This document provides approximate estimates for flyovers constructed at four different locations. It summarizes the key details of each flyover project such as location, client, contractor, scope of work, cost, duration, progress, resources used, and per meter cost. The average cost per meter of the flyovers according to the estimates given is Rs. 5,37,635.
This document provides information about estimating and costing for construction projects. It discusses the need for estimation to determine project feasibility and cost, outlines the estimating process, and lists the key data required which includes drawings, specifications, and rates. Measurement rules and units for different construction items like earthwork, concrete, masonry, woodwork, and finishing works are also covered. The document emphasizes accurate measurement of work quantities as the basis for preparation of estimates.

The document discusses the analysis of rates for construction items. It provides materials costs, labor costs, and calculations to determine the total rate per unit of different construction works. For example, it calculates that the rate of excavation work is Rs. 9857 per cubic meter based on labor and materials. It also provides an example of determining the materials required for a 10 square meter conglomerate floor with two layers of concrete.
