Calculating The Cost of Stone (Random Rubble) Masonry Work./rate Analysis of Random Rubble (Stone) Masonry Work

The document calculates the cost of constructing a 15ft by 7ft by 1.5ft thick random rubble stone masonry wall. It determines that the total volume of the wall is 157.5 cubic feet. It then calculates the required volumes of rubble stone, cement mortar, sand, and cement to construct the wall. Using regional rates, it determines the total material cost is INR 14,064.75 and labor cost is INR 2,047.5, for a total cost of INR 16,112.25. Finally, it calculates the cost per cubic foot and cubic meter of the completed random rubble masonry wall.

Calculating the cost of stone (random rubble) masonry

work./Rate analysis of random rubble (stone )masonry work.


param visionsJuly 26, 2021 No comments

 Let us consider RR ( stone ) masonry wall for the calculation purpose as shown in the below
drawing.

Given data:
Length of the stone masonry wall = 15 ft.
Height of the stone masonry wall = 7 ft.
The thickness of the RR masonry wall = 1.5 ft.

The total volume of the RR masonry wall


= [length × height × thickness]
= [15 ft. × 7 ft. × 1.5 ft.]
= 157.5 cu ft.

Before proceeding further, go through the article 👇


👀 . What is random rubble masonry? - Thumb rules in RR masonry calculations.  
to understand the calculation procedure without any questions.

A. Material calculation:
1.  Volume of  rubble stone:
The required vol. of stone 
= [1.25 × the vol. of RR masonry wall]
= [1.25 × 157.5 cu ft.]
= 196.875 cu ft.

2. Cement mortar:
The required dry vol. of cement mortar
= 40% of the vol. of RR masonry.
= [40 × 157.5 cu ft. ÷ 100]
= 63 cu ft.

Let us build this wall in the cement mortar of 1:6 ratio 


 a.  The volume of the sand
         = [{its ratio  ÷ ( total ratio)} × dry mortar vol.]
          = [{6  ÷ ( 6 + 1)} × 63]
           = [0.8571 × 63]

           = 54 cu ft.   or 
         = 1.53 cum.

b. Volume of the cement 


   = [total dry mortar vol. - volume of sand]
    = [63 cu ft. - 54 cu ft.]
    = 9 cu ft.
As you know, one bag of cement = 1.226 cu ft.
  Number of cement bags 
    = [9 cu ft. ÷ 1.226 cu ft.]
    =   7.34 bags.

B.  Labor calculation:


The labor rate per cu ft. of the RR masonry work ranges from INR 10/- to 16/- depending upon the
region.
Let us consider an average rate of INR 13/- per cu ft.
The total cost of labor for RR masonry
   = total vol. of RR masonry in cu ft.  × labor rate/ cu ft.
   = 157.5 cu ft. × 13/-
   = INR 2,047.5/-

Now, let us calculate the total cost of RR masonry in table format.


Sl. Item. Qty. Rate. Unit. Cost
no.
in INR. in INR.

1. Rubble stone  196.88        Cu    6,890.80


35/- ft.

2. Cement      7.34    380/- bag    2,789.20

3. Sand    54.00    60/- Cu     3,240.00


ft.

4. Curing Lump-sum         200.00

5. Miscellaneous Lump-sum         275.00

6.                                                       The material   13,395.00


cost =

7.                                                        Add 5%         669.75


wastage =

8.                                                    Total material   14,064.75


cost =

9.                                                                 Labour       2047.50


cost =

10.     The total cost of RR masonry wall =    16,112.25

Note: To get accurate results, insert your regional market rate of materials & labor, in the above table.

a. The cost of random rubble masonry/cu ft.


= [total RR masonry cost ÷ total masonry vol. in cu ft.]
= [16,112.25 ÷ 157.5]
= INR 102.30 /cu ft.

b. The cost of random rubble masonry/cum.


   = [102.3 × 35.3147]
  = INR 3,612.70 / cum.
( As 1cum = 35.3147 cu ft.)
