ESTIMATING PROCEDURE FOR :

1. BATTERBOARD
a. To estimate batterboard, first compute the area of the structure in sq.m. multiply the area by
4.85 bd.ft. for 2" x 2" lumber, 7.28 bd.ft. for 2" x 3" lumber. Then the total bd.ft. divided by
2 will give you the bd.ft. of lumber to be used as batterboard.
b. The second procedure is to compute the lineal meter of the structure location giving an allowance or margin of 1.00 all around. Count also the no. of stake to be used. No. of stake multiply by 1.20 ( length of stake ) to get total lineal meter. Add all the ilneal meter & change to lineal foot. Compute the bd.ft. by using 2" x 2" or 2" x 3" lumber.
c. For nails : divide the total bd.ft. by 1,000 then multiply by 15 to get kilos required. If keg
: divide the total bd.ft. by 2,500.
d. For # 12 guide wire to be used as guide in layout, divide the total bd.ft. by 4,000 to obtain
roll of wire.

2. EXCAVATION
a. To estimate volume of excavation, compute the area to be excavated then multiply by the

ESTIMATE MANUAL

depth
b. For cut and fill, use the Prismoidal Formula (A1 + A2)/2 x depth or length.
3. BACKFILL
a. For backfilling, use the same procedure as of the excavation no. 1, by multiply the length,
width & depth. If the backfill will be compacted add 15% for compaction.
4. CONCRETE
a. To estimate volume or cu.m. of concrete, use the same procedure in computing excavation
& backfilling.
b. To obtain bag of cement, sand and gravel, determine first the psi or class of mixture.
