MATERIAL AND LABOUR ANALYSIS FOR BUILDING WORKS –
Analysis for Basic Rates
The Material and Labour component required for the various items of work
including the minimal plant required for same is detailed in the analysis of the
Basic Rates which have been included in the following pages.
Basic Rate
The basic rate is analyzed under the following headings:
(a) Materials
The quantities of material required for the items are computed from
known data and experience. Their total value is calculated on the basis
of current costs of purchase at sources of supply. Unless, otherwise
stated wastage is allowed in the norms.
(b) Transport
This component provides for the cost of transport of material from
sources of supply to the sites of work. This component is usually added
to the material cost.
(c) Labour
The labour wages are as approve d by the Government from time to
time and on the basis of an 8 hour working day.
(d) Plant
This component provides for the minimum plant required for the items of
work. The cost of tools and implements is provided for tin the overheads
allowances.
(e) Basic Cost
2
The Basic Cost is the sum of the costs of items (a), (b), (c) & (d) above.
Overhead s & Profit factor

Overhead costs include such cost that cannot be considered as direct
productive work on the job. These may be generally grouped as follows:
(a) Job Overheads

That vary with and are caused directly by the individual jobs and.
(b) General Overheads

Which include costs of maintaining an office, workshop and yard in which
to do business whether or not there is a job under way? Such expenses
are continuous and may be shared by the job turnover.
The common items that make up the overhead costs are listed below. The
cost of the overhead items involved on a job is assessed as a percentage of
the Basic cost of the job. In the case of the construction Agencies executing
building construction works the overheads component may be listed as below:
Job Overheads (Site Overheads) % of Basic Cost

1. Supervision of work (wages of work supervisors) 1.0
2. Supervision of labour (wages of Gangers) 4.0
3. Temporary works:
(a) Access Road and Maintenance 0.2
(b) Site buildings for accommodation of part labour 0.7
(c) Central sores building 0.6
(d) Fencing and protection 0.3
(e) Provision of water, lights etc. 0.3
(f) Clearing and tidying up 0.2
(g) Collection of building materials including cement
and steel 0.40
4. Watchers for field stores and security of sites. 0.8

5. Tools and implements for miscellaneous work 0.9
6. (a). Setting out and measurements 0.5
(b). Providing samples for testing 0.2
7. Transportation of supervisory staff 1.0
8. Job office, furniture, stationary, supplies, water, lights etc. 0.9
9. Wages of job office staff 1.2
10. Transportation of job office staff 0.4
11. (a). Bonds for Bid performance and fidelity Guarantee 0.3
(b). Insurance of work and workmen’s compensation 0.5
12. (a). Interest in Capital Investment 1.6
(b). Business Turnover Tax 3.0
19.0
General Overheads
13. Head office and rent, lights, telephone, stationary
supplies, furniture etc. for same 0.6
14. Salaries of Head Office Manager, Engineers,
Technical Assistants, Draughtsman, Clerks, Stenos, Typists,
Minor staff and Drivers 1.2
15. Transportation and subsistence of Head office staff 1.0
16. Insurance, Interest and Taxes on business 0.4
17. Legal expenses and Consultancy fees 0.2
18. Workshop & Yard rents, sheds, garages & supplies 2.20
19. Salaries of workshop & yard storekeepers, Drivers, Foremen
Mechanics & workmen 0.4
6.0
Profits
Ten percent (10%) of the Basic costs is allowed as profit to the Contractor.
Overheads and Profit Factor

Combining the factors for overheads and the profits factor we get 35% of the
Basic Rate as the Overhead and Profit factor which is also called the “Mark-up”
4
on the Basic Rate. ie the Basic Rate is multiplied by the factor 1.35 to obtain
the working rate.
This Basic Rate Analysis does not include for the use of heavy plant and
equipment. This analysis provides for a labour intensive method of work with
a minimal use of machinery. The machinery allowed in this analysis is the
concrete mixer, the vibrator and a hoist in the case of a multi-storeyed
building for the lift of materials to the various floors.
This analysis is applicable for a building having a maximum of four storeys –ie
ground and three floors.
If a building has more than four floors or when the Contract period is
compressed to a few months, then it will be necessary to allow for the use of
heavy machinery such as tower cranes, mobile cranes, dumpers loaders,
batching plant for the mixing of concrete, bins for the storage of concrete
material etc. and also for the employment of contract managers and additional
staff.
The cost of such items of work will not be accommodated within the 35%
“Mark-up” and will have to be provided for in separate items such as
preliminaries to the contract.

Allowances to be made in the .................. got lift in respect of work on upper
floors -
In the analysis of the various items of work in the following pages the rates
refer to work on the ground floor.
To these rates the percentages (of the surround floor rates) indicated in the
table below should be added to obtain the rates applicable to the 1 st, 2nd and
3rd floors. This S.S.R. is limited to work on the ground and 3 upper floors only.

NOTE:
EARTH WORK AND LANDSCAPING
1. Solis met with in excavation have been classified as follows:

1. Soft/Loose soil
2. Ordinary soil
3. Hard/Dense soil
4. Mud/Wet clay
5. Soft disintegrated rock (ie rock not requiring blasting)
6. Hard rock - (a). Where blasting is approved.
(b) Where blasting is prohibited.
6
2. The analysis has been prepared for each of the above categories as
shown in items Nos 3-9.
3. However, in the preparation of estimates for purposes of calling for

Tenders, only two B.O.Q. item would be included in the B.O.Q. as
against the B.S.R. item Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9. The description of
these two B.O.Q. items would be as follows.
(a). Excavation in any material met with except rock requiring blasting
(b). Excavation in rock requiring blasting.
4. This classification has been adopted (where tenders are called) to avoid
any dispute that may arise as to the exact nature of the soil that will be
met with when the actual excavation is carried out. The tenderer is
expected to examine the site and to form his own opinion of the nature
of the soil that is met with and rate his tender accordingly.
5. The classification of the soils in Note 1 above and the analysis provided
for the different type of soil will help the estimator in arriving at the
actual cost of excavation, for which he will have to allow in his estimate.
6. Under Note 1 (6) b Hard Rock, and analysis is provided for removing
Hard Rock met with in foundation excavations where blasting is
prohibited or cannot be done, like in built up areas where blasting can
cause damage to adjoining buildings.
7. In the excavation items Nos . 3 to 9, the labour norm allowed in the

items is for an excavation up to a maximum depth of 5’ 0”. For
excavations beyond the depth of 5’ 0” an additional unskilled labourer
should be added for every additional depth of 5’ 0’’ or part thereof for
each cube of excavation beyond the original 5’ 0’’ depth.

CONCRETE
Preamble
Assumptions:
1. Mixing concrete using a concrete mixer 14/10 cu.ft. Capacity and manual
loading are the basis on which the norms are worked.
2. A gang of one skilled and six unskilled labourers produce 3.00 cubes of
concrete per day using a 14/10 cu.ft capacity concrete mixer. This is as per
accepted practice.
3. The production of concrete is at the mixer site; transporting mixed concrete

and placing same in position is paid for separately.
4. In concrete items 26 to 39 both inclusive, placing of concrete in columns,

beams and floor slabs on the ground floor the labour component allowed is
for the placing of concrete between the ground floor and the top of the 1 st
floor slab which area is called the ground floor area. Similarly the area
between the top of the 1st floor slab and the top of the 2 nd floor slab is
called the 1st floor area etc.
