BUILD UP RATE

CONCRETING WORKS

Table 1 shows relevant information for mixing/preparation of reinforced concrete (1:2:4 with
25 mm aggregate) for pad foundation using concrete mixer with 7/8 capacity. Calculate build-
up rate for one (1) metre cubic of the concrete.

Table 1

Item Labour constant @ Rate @ %

Cement (1280 kg/m3) RM 220.00/tonne


Fine aggregate (1500 kg/m3) RM 35.00/tonne
Course aggregate (1600 kg/m3) RM 40.00/tonne
Rental rate of concrete mixer machine (6 days/week) RM 200.00/week
Productivity of concrete mixer machine 5m3/hour
No. of labours needed to operate concrete mixer machine 3 labours/machine
Labour constant (productivity) for concrete mixing 3 hours/m3
Concrete wastage 50%
Worker salary (8 hours working/day) RM 40.00/day
Profit and management cost 20%

1 Material Cost

a) 1 metre cubic of cement


1 * 1280/1000 @ RM220.00

b) 2 metre cubic of sand

c) 4 metre cubic of aggregates

Total material cost for 7 meter cubic of concrete:


Add 50% for wastage
= 50% x

Total cost for concrete 7 meter cubic concrete:

Thus, for one (1) metre cubic concrete is:

2 Labour Cost

a) Given man-hour to produce one (1) metre cubic concrete


is ___ hours.

b) Labour is paid RM_____ daily


Thus, labour cost for one (1) meter cubic concrete:

= _ hours @ RM_____ / _ hrs


= RM________ ________

3 Machine Cost

a) Rental rate for concrete mixer including maintenance for


one (1) day costs RM_______. Therefore, rate for one (1)
hour is RM_______.
________

b) Payment for three (3) labours in handling the concrete


mixer
= __ @ RM_______ / __ ________
Thus, total mix concrete rental cost and labour cost for
handling the machine are:
________

__m3 concrete mix are produced in an hour. Therefore,


machine cost for one (1) meter cubic concrete
= RM______ / __m3
________
4 Cost rate for concrete mix in one (1) meter cubic (m3)
= RM_____+ RM_____+ RM_____
= RM_____ _______

5 Add profit (20%)


= RM_____x 20%
= RM ______ _______

TOTAL OVERALL COST FOR ONE (1) METER CUBIC (M3) _______
