B. General Formula
1. Concrete Mix Ratio = 1:2:4
3
Let volume of concrete = Zm
3 3
Then a) Cement = 1/7 x zm x 1400Kg/m x 1.3 shrinkage x 1.05 Wastage
= 273Kgs Z
3
= 0.19m Z
3 3
b) Sand = 2/7 x Zm x 1840Kg/m x 1.3 shrinkage x 1.05 Wastage
= 718Kgs Z
3
= 718/1840 m Z
3
= 0.39m Z
3 3
c) Gravel = 4/7 x Zm x 2250Kg/m x 1.3 shrinkage x 1.05 Wastage
= 1755 Kgs Z
3
= 0.95 m Z
2. Lime Mortar Mix Ratio = 1:4
3
Let volume of Lime mortar = Y m
3 3
Then a) Lime = 1/5 x Y m x 1900Kg/ m x 1.2 shrinkage x 1.05 Wastage
= 479Kgs Y
3
= 0.25 m Y
3 3
b) Sand = 4/5x Y m x 1840Kg/ m x 1.2 shrinkage x 1.05 Wastage
= 1855Kgs Y
3
= 1855/1840 m Y
3
= 1.01 m Y
3. Cement Mortar Mix Ratio = 1:4
3
Let volume of Cement mortar = Wm
3 3
Then a) Cement = 1/5 x W m x 1400Kg/ m x 1.25 shrinkage x 1.05 Wastage
= 368Kgs W
3
= 0.26 m W
3 3
b) Sand = 4/5x Wm x 1840Kg/ m x 1.25 shrinkage x 1.05 Wastage
= 1932Kgs W
3
= 1932/1840 m W
3
= 1.05 m W

4. Compo Mortar Mix Ratio = 1:2:9

3
Let volume of Compo-mortar = Um
3 3
Then a) Cement = 1/12 x U m x 1400Kg/ m x 1.20 shrinkage x 1.05 Wastage
= 147Kgs U
3
= 0.105 m U
3 3
b) Lime = 2/12 x U m x 1900Kg/ m x 1.20shrinkage x 1.05 Wastage
= 399Kgs U
3
= 0.21 m U
3 3
c) Sand = 9/12x Um x 1840Kg/ m x 1.20 shrinkage x 1.05 Wastage
= 1739Kgs U
3
= 1739/1840 m U

XVIII. CALCULATING UNIT PRICES (ANALYSIS OF RATES)

In ordinary type of building; the cost of material is about 60% and labour cost is
40% of the total cost of the whole building.
Materials:- walling material will cost 25%, cement 13%, steel 10% and timber 12%
Labour:- Excavation will cost 1%, Mason 25%, carpenters 12% & smith 2%
The cost of separate items of works may be roughly as follows as a percentage of
the total cost of the building for a single storey building.
Excavation ................................................................... 1%
Concrete in foundation ............................................... 2%
Foundation wall up to plinth ....................................... 5%

For the purpose of calculating unit prices the details about all the operations
involved in caring out the work should be available, the quantities of materials
required and their costs should be known and the number of different categories
of labourer and their wage per day should be known.
The rate of particular item of work depends on the following:-
 Specifications of work and materials, quality of materials, proportion of
mortar and method of constructional operation.
 Quantities of material and their rates, number of different types of labourer
and their rates.
 Location of the site of work and its distance from the source of materials and
their rates.
 Profit, overhead expenses and miscellaneous of contractor.
 COST ESTIMATION AND UNIT RATE ANALYSIS FOR BUILDING July 2, 2010

Material cost:- it include:-

 The first cost (cost of origin)
 Cost of transport
 Taxes, etc.
Labour cost: it varies from place to places. However in bigger cities where standard
of living is high; specialized and experienced labour is higher than small towns and
country sides.
Transportation:- in the country if transportation of material is to be done the rate
is:-
 On Highway = 0.02049cents/kg/km.
 On rural roads = 0.04cents/kg/km.
Overhead cost & miscellaneous:- this include general office expenses, rents, taxes,
supervision and other costs which are indirect expenses and not productive
expenses on the job, and this is about 5-10%
The analysis of rates of different items of work is the summation of cost of
material, cost of labour, transportation, profit and overhead & miscellaneous costs.

1. The volume of water given is for surface dry aggregates. The actual
volume will be smaller or higher depending on the condition of the
aggregates.
Adjustments should be made based on the slump.
2. Concrete grades C25 and C30 requires class II workshop i.e. mixers,
vibrators and qualified supervisors.
