What is Rate Analysis
• The basis of arriving at correct or reasonable rate
per unit work, for a particular item following its
specification and detailed survey of materials,
labour, equipment etc. i.e. To reach Rate of
Concrete Per CUM, individual cost of followings
are considered:
a) Materials(cement, sand, agg, steel, admixture)
used for per cum concrete
b) Labour (mason, labor, carpenter) per cum concrete
c) Equipment (vibrator, pump, transit mixer, batching
plant cost) per cum concrete
Rate analysis,
Purpose of Rate Analysis
• To determine the current rate per unit of an item at
the locality
• To examine the viability of rates offered by
contractors.
• To calculate labor strength & equipment required for
Project Planning.
• To fix up labor contract rates.
Purpose

Rate Analysis
How to fix up rate per Unit of an item?
• Quantity of Materials and Cost:-
– As per detailed specification, quantity of an item is calculated.
Based on market rates, per unit rate is arrived.
– Following cost too is considered:-
• Freight & transportation, including loading & unloading
• Taxes & insurance
• Profit on Cement, steel stone chips and bitumen not included if
supplied departmentally.
• Labour Cost
– Number and wages of different categories of laborers, (skilled
& unskilled) namely mason or carpenter, mazdoor for per unit
of item to execute at site.
– These numbers are multiplied by market rate and labour cost
is arrived per UNIT of item.
Rate analysis,
How to fix up rate per Unit of an item?
• Equipment, Tools and Plant Cost
– Equipment for General use as per item
– Example concrete mixer as per unit of concrete
– Certain tools and plants are difficult to allocate as per the
specific item hence their cost are considered in
establishment charges
– For special equipment extra 1% to 1.5% (purchasing) of
estimated cost is provided.
• Overhead & Establishment Charges
– Office Rent, Depreciation on equipments
– Salaries of office staff, postage, lighting, travelling,
telephone account
– This is actually 2.5% up to 5%
– Overhead charges increases with delay in project.
Rate analysis,
How to fix up rate per Unit of an item?
• Overheads and Establishment Charges
– There are 2 types of Overheads
Rate analysis,
Profit
• Generally 10% profit is considered for ordinary
contracts, after allocating all charges of
equipments, establishments.
• For small jobs, profit is 15%
• For large projects Profit is 8%
Rate analysis,
Factoring Affecting the rate analysis
• Specification of the item
– Quality of Materials
– Proportion of materials
– Method of construction
– Protection of Work
• Rate of materials for item of work up to worksite
• Daily wages of labourer
– With different categories
– With localities
– As per outputs
• The range of lead and lift require for deposition of materials
• Percentage charge for overheads
• Possibility of theft of losses
• Range of profit
• Availability of water connection
Rate analysis,
Quantity of Coarse Aggregate, Sand and Cement
for various proportion
• Quantities shall be calculated for 10 cum of
concrete.
• Exact quantities of ingredients cannot be calculated
for 10 cum of concrete so there is a thumb rule
• To calculate dry ingredients for 10 cum of concrete.
Each proportional quantity for 10 cum of concrete is
multiplied with 15.4 up to 15.7
• This 15.4 factor is due to existence of voids.
• Example: Findout qty of cement, sand and stone
chips in 1:2:4
– Cement : 1/(1+2+4) x 15.4 = 2.2cum = 3168 kg = 64 bags
– Sand : 2/(1+2+4) x 15.4 = 4.4 cum = 7.25 tons
– Stone Chips : 8.8 cum = 18 tons

Labour Estimation:
• Wages vary as per different classes of labour
• Length of time required to finish depends on:-
– Type of work
– Amount of work
– Types of skill required
– Mental development of work man
– Surrounding area
– Weather
– Labour availability (lack/excess)
– Local customs
– Local laws
Rate analysis,
Labour Estimation:
• Task or out-turn work
– Out-Turn work means the work which can not be
finished by using only designated skilled or unskilled
labour alone.
– Both or more types of labour shall be involved to
finish the tasks
– Example : A mason can complete 1.5 cum brick work
in 8 hrs (per day) provided he is helped by 2
mazdoors to carry and mix ingredients of mortar and
also to carry and place materials.

• Increase wet volume by 20% due to extra filling of depression, joints, wastage on wall surface.
• Then increase this volume by 1/3rd to get dry volume of mortar generally for 1:4 to 1:6.
• But in case on 1:2 and 1:3 the dry mortar volume shall be reduced by 3% as compared to above calculated
because the voids in sand is lesser.
