Ans:
Preliminary Estimate of a building –
Building Cost = Plinth area x Plinth area rate
= 1400 x 3800 1/2 M
= Rs.5320000/-
Add for
1) Special Architectural treatment (1.5%) = 1.5/100 x 5320000

2) Water supply and sanitary installations (5%) = 5/100 x 5320000
= Rs.266000/- 2M
3) Internal installations (14%) = 14/100 x 5320000
= Rs.744800/-
4) Other Services (6%) = 6/100 x 5320000
= Rs.319200/-
Total Cost = Building Cost + ∑(𝑆𝑟. 𝑁𝑜. 1 𝑡𝑜 4)
= 5320000 + (79800 + 266000 + 744800 + 319200)
= Rs.6729800/-
Add (i) Contingencies (3%) = 3/100 x 6729800 = Rs. 201894/-
1/2 M
(ii) Supervision Charges (8%) = 8/100 x 6729800 = Rs. 538384/-

c) Explain the following terms in brief

(i) Contingencies
(ii) Provisional Sum

7|Page Winter-2019 EAC-22503

 Ans:
1) Contingencies – The miscellaneous incidental expenses which cannot
approximately be classified under any distinct sub head are called as 1M
contingencies.
Some items of work might have been omitted from the detailed estimate
due to oversight or some miscellaneous items do not form under any sub
head. To meet such expenses, provision of contingencies is done in 1M
detailed estimate. Normally it is 3 to 5% of estimated cost.
2) Provisional Sum - Provisional sum is an amount provided in the estimate
for some specialized work to be done by specialist firm. Whose details are
1M
not known at the time of preparing estimate.
The work like installation of A.C, Lift etc. are comes under provisional
sum whose full information and details may not be known at the time of
preparing estimate. The amount paid to the contractor will not necessarily 1M
be the exact amount of provisional sum.

d) Describe the general procedure of carrying out rate analysis

Ans:
Procedure to carry out rate analysis of any item:
Assume quantity of given item as per its mode of measurement.
1) Calculate the quantity of various materials and the quantity of various
types of labours with reference to their task work for completing the item.
2) Take lump-sum charges for tools & plants, sundries if any required. 1/2 M
3) Calculate Total cost of material & labours = cost of material + cost of x8
labours + charges of tools plants, etc. if any (for
4) Calculate water charges as 1.5% on Total cost of materials & labours. eight
5) Calculate Overall cost = Total cost of material & labours + water charges steps)
6) Calculate contractors profit as 10% on Overall cost.
7) Calculate Total cost of the item = overall cost + contractors profit.
8) Work out Rate per unit of item = Total cost of the item / assumed quantity
of item.
