Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) is a light weight cellular material which is formed by a chemical
reaction between fine grained calcareous and siliceous materials. Calcareous materials include lime
and/or cement whereas siliceous materials generally used are natural or ground sand and/or
industrial by products such as slag and Pulverized Fuel Ash (PFA). The cellular structure which
gives the product good thermal properties and a high strength density ratio, is produced by
reaction between alkaline lime/OPC component and added aluminum powder (foaming agent)
to give bubbles of hydrogen. The curing of this type of concrete is done at high temperature and
pressure in saturated steam (Autoclaving).

TECHNOLOGY STUDIES

Design and Construction

In the planning of facilities, it is important to recognize the close relationship between design and
construction. These processes can best be viewed as an integrated system. Broadly speaking,
design is a process of creating the description of a new facility, usually represented by detailed
plans and specifications; construction planning is a process of identifying activities and resources
required to make the design a physical reality. Hence, construction is the implementation of a
design envisioned by architects and engineers.

In both design and construction, numerous operational tasks must be performed with a variety of
precedence and other relationships among the different tasks.

Several characteristics are unique to the planning of constructed facilities and should be kept in
mind even at the very early stage of the project life cycle. These include the following:

 Nearly every facility is custom designed and constructed, and often requires a long time to
complete.
 Both the design and construction of a facility must satisfy the conditions peculiar to a specific
site.
 Because each project is site specific, its execution is influenced by natural, social and other
locational conditions such as weather, labor supply, local building codes, etc.
 Since the service life of a facility is long, the anticipation of future requirements is inherently
difficult.
 Because of technological complexity and market demands, changes of design plans during
construction are not uncommon.

Cost of Construction

Preliminary estimate of proposed construction of housing, health facilities for senior citizens.

Basis of Cost Estimate

 The cost report is based on the information provided by the Client and is based on
available data.
 The cost report prepared based on judgment and market experience.
 The costing is based on the Employers in puts & conceptual drawings. There is no
working drawing for the preparation of cost appraisal. No cross verification has been
undertaken on quantities/items.
Qualification

This estimate is provided based on Client's Project brief, drawings and/or reasonable
assumptions and details obtained from historical records and/or discussions.

Pricing reflects probable construction costs obtainable in the project locality on the date of this
estimate. This estimate is a determination of fair market value for the construction of this
project. It is not a prediction of the lowest tender. Pricing assumes competitive tendering for
every portion of the construction work.

Since we has no control over the cost of labour, materials, equipment, or over the contractor's
method of determining prices, or over the competitive tendering or market conditions at the time
of tender, the estimate is based on industry practice, professional experience and qualifications,
and represents best judgment as a professional construction cost consultant familiar with the
construction industry in India. However, we cannot and does not guarantee that the tenders or
the final construction costs will not vary from opinions of probable cost prepared by them.

Financial Status

Budget summary as above

 Initial Cost INR 550,000/-

 Construction Cost INR 41,790,420/-

b. Project financing proposed

Financial Structure

Debit

Fixed Asset - Rs 10, 00,000

Loan from Bank @ 3% interest - Rs 50, 00,000

Credit

Present cost of land is 10,000 rupees per sqm = 5,000 x 10,000 = Rs 5, 00, 00,000

Appreciation cost of land is increasing at the rate of 5% per annum (i.e.,) Rs 2,500,000 per annum

Interest Calculation

Loan obtained from bank is Rs 50, 00,000 at a interest of 2% - 50, 00,000 x 2% = 1, 00,000

Interest per annum to be paid to bank is Rs 2,400,000.

As a result the appreciation cost of land is more than interest rate of bank. Even though the
investor in the risk of uncertainty due of fluctuation of real estate.

d. Cash flows

The cash flow statement is being prepared on the basis of an extracted information of historical
records of the enterprise. Cash flow statements can be prepared for a year, for six months, for
quarterly and even for monthly. The cash includes not only means that cash in hand but also cash
at bank.

Motives of preparing the cash flow statement:

 To identify the causes for the cash balance changes in between two different time
periods, with the help of corresponding two different balance sheets.
  To enlist the factors of influence on the reduction of cash balance as well as to indicate
the reasons though the profit is earned during the year and vice versa.

Utility of cash flow statements are as follows:

 To identify the reasons for the reduction or increase in the cash balances irrespective
level of the profits earned by the firm.
 It facilitates the management to maintain an appropriate level of cash resources.
 It guides the management to take futuristic decisions on the prospective demands and
supply of cash resources through projected cash flows.
 How much cash resources are required?
 How much cash requirements could be internally settled?
 How much cash resources are to be raised through external sources?
 Which type of instruments is going to be floated for raising the required
resources?
 It helps the management to understand its capacity at the moment of borrowing for any
further capital budgeting decisions.
 It paves way for scientific cash management for the firm through maintenance of an
appropriate cash levels i-e optimum level cash of resources.
 It avoids in holding excessive or inadequate cash resources through proper planning of
cash resources.
 It moots control through identification of variations occurred in the cash expenses and
expenditures.
