ESTIMATION OF BUILDING
PART-A
1. What are the different types of approximate estimate?(Nov/dec2013)
1. Plinth area estimate
2. Cube rate estimate
3. Approximate quality method estimate
4. Unit rate method
5. Typical bay method
6. Cost comparison method
ww
2. What is mean by centre line method? (Nov/dec2013)
In this method, the centre line length is pound out.
En
A business expenses for the materials and labor it uses in production. Prime
gin
cost is a way of measuring the total cost of production inputs needed to create a
given output. By analyzing its prime costs, a company can determine how much it
ee
must charge for its finished product in order to make a profit. By lowering its prime
rin
costs, a company can increase its profit margin and undercut its competitors price.
4. Define estimate. (Nov/dec2012)
g.n
An estimate is a computation or calculation of the quantities required and
et
expenditure likely to be incurred in the construction of a work. The estimate is the
probable cost of a work and is determined theoretically by mathematical calculation
based on the plans and drawing and current rates.
5. Define Plinth area. (May/June 2014)
It is defined area of a building measured at floor level. It is measured by taking
external dimensions excluding plinth offset if any.
ww
8. Define Abstract estimate. (May/June 2014)
This is the third and final stage in a detailed estimate. The quantities and rates
w.E
of each item of work, arrived in the first two stages, are now entered in an abstract
form. The total cost of each item of work is now calculated by multiplying the
asy
quantities and respective rates.
9. Define lead. (May/June 2012)
En
Lead is the crow flying horizontal distance from the centre of borrow pit to the
gin
centre of the earthwork at site, i.e centre of the area of excavation to the centre of
placed earth.
ee
10. Briefly explain about bay method. (May/June 2014)
rin
This method is useful and is generally followed in case of buildings having
g.n
several bays. The cost of the typical bay is worked out and is then multiplied by the
number of bays in that building. The extra cost for the end walls and difference in
et
framing, if there is any, should be made, so as to arrive at the correct cost.

1. Rental Method of Valuation g.n
2. Direct Comparisons of the capital value
3. Valuation based on the profit
4. Valuation based on the cost
et
5. Development method of Valuation
6. Depreciation method of Valuation
Rental Method of Valuation
In this method, the net income by way of rent is found out by deducting all
outgoing from the gross rent. A suitable rate of interest as prevailing in the
market is assumed and Year’s purchase is calculated. This net income
multiplied by Year’s Purchase gives thecapitalized value or valuation of the
64
property. This method is applicable only when the rent isknown or probable
rent is determined by enquiries.
ww theatres etc for which the capitalized value depends on the profit. In such
cases, the net income is worked out after deducting gross income; all possible
w.E working expense, outgoings, interest on the capital invested etc. The net profit
is multiplied by Year’s Purchase to get the capitalized value. In such cases,
asy
the valuation may work out to be high in comparison with the cost of
construction.
ee
possessing the property is taken as basis to determine the value of property.
In such cases, necessary depreciation should be allowed and the points of
obsolescence should also be considered. rin
Development Method of Valuation g.n
This method of Valuation is used for the properties which are in the
et
underdeveloped stage or partly developed and partly underdeveloped stage.
If a large place of land is required to be divided into plots after providing for
roads, parks etc, this method of valuation is to be adopted. In such cases, the
probable selling price of the divided plots, the area required for roads, parks
etc and other expenditures for development should be known. If a building is
required to be renovated by making additional changes, alterations or
improvements, the development method of Valuation may be used.
65
2. Roofs
3. Floors
4. Doors and W indows
And the cost of each part should first be worked out on the present day rates by
detailed measurements. The present value of land and water supply, electric and
sanitary fittings etc should be added to the valuation of the building to arrive at total
valuation of the property. Depreciation is the gradual exhaustion of the usefulness of
a property. This may be defined as the decrease or loss in the value of a property
due to structural deterioration, life wear and tear, decay and obsolescence.
Methods for calculating depreciation
ww
1. Straight line Method
2. Constant percentage method
w.E
3. Sinking Fund Method
4. Quantity Survey Method
Straight Line Method
asy
In this method, it is assumed that the property losses its value by the same
En
amount every year. A fixed amount of the original cost is deducted every year,
gin
so that at the end ofthe utility period, only the scrap value is left.
ee
Annual Depreciation, D = (original cost of the asset – Scrap Value)/life in years
rin
For example, a vehicle that depreciates over 5 years, is purchased at a cost of
g.n
US$17,000, and will have a salvage value of US$2000, will depreciate at US$3,000
per year: ($17,000? $2,000)/ 5 years = $3,000 annual straight-line depreciation
et
expense. In other words, it is the depreciable cost of the asset divided by the
number of years of its useful life.
Constant Percentage Method or Declining balance Method
In this method, it is assumed that the property will lose its value by a constant
percentage of its value at the beginning of every year.
66
5.Explain About Market Value, Book Value, Capital cost, Capitalized Value of a
Property, Year’s Purchase, Sinking Fund Method.
Market Value
The market value of a property is the amount which can be obtained at any
ww particular time from the open market if the property is put for sale. The market
value will differ from time to time according to demand and supply.
w.E
The market value also changes from time to time for various miscellaneous
reasons such as changes in industry, changes in fashions, means of
asy
transport, cost of materials and labour etc.
Book Value
En
gin
Book value is the amount shown in the account book after allowing necessary
Depreciations. The book value of a property at a particular year is the original
ee
cost minus the amount of depreciation allowed per year and will be gradually
rin
reduced year to year and at the end of the utility period of the property, the
book value will be only scrap value.
Capital cost
g.n
et
Capital cost is the total cost of construction including land, or the original total
amount required to possess a property. It is the original cost and does not
change while the value of the property is the present cost which may be
calculated by methods of Valuation.
67
The multiplier of the net annual income to determine the capital value is known as
the
ww
Year’s Purchase (YP) and it is useful to obtain the capitalized value of the property.
Sinking Fund Method
asy
supposed to be invested on interest bearing investment. If A is the annual
En
sinking fund and b, c, d, etc. represent interest on the sinking fund for
subsequent years and C = total original cost

rin
500 in length has been prepared for linking Kalignaj with the District Headquarters
in compliancewith S.E.’s letter no………….dated………………
g.n
Kalignaj is an important market place for agricultural products and there are
some et
cottage industries in the area, and there having no road the area is not being
developed. The proposed road will also serve many villages on either side. The
people of the locality have also represented and demanded separately for the
construction of this road. It is therefore essential to construct this road. The
proposal has been included in the Fourth Five year Plan and the cost will be met
from the Road Development Fund.
Alignment of the road follows an existing card road with straightening
when necessary and avoiding congested areas as far as possible. Flat curves
have been provided with a minimum radius of 150 m. In selecting the alignment
73
ww
line has been kept above normal flood level. A number of culverts will be required

4. What are all the principle for the preparation of water supply scheme?
w.E
Principle for the preparation of W ater supply Scheme:
Selection of source:-
asy
Where raw water from flowing streams, lakes , tanks ad other impoundment
En
from contaminated catchments and ponds form the source, provision shouldbe
gin
made in the scheme for filtering such water prior to disinfection.
2. Quality of w ater.-
ee
The chemical quality of supplies proposed from ground water through tube
rin
wells, wells and infiltration works should be of acceptable quality, to be adjudged
g.n
with reference to local condition, where special treatment of removal of dissolved
substance like iron, sulphates and flurides is necessary, provision should be
made there in the scheme.
3. Disinfections.
et
It is advisable to provide for continuous effective disinfections of supplies drawn
through tube wells, wells and infiltration works where local conditions indicate
the need. W here surface water is the source, treatment including filtration and
disinfection of the final effluent is essential.
It is equally important to ensure that the free residual chlorine of a minimum of
0.2 ppm is maintained at all points in the distribution system.
Simple drip-feed device.-
For simple rural well supplies, disinfection should be arranged by a simple and
75
ww . The details of their working and operation, and the care of chlorinator equipment
areset out in paras 10-6-22 and 10-6-3 on pages 132-136 of the Manual of W ater
asy
pressure-type chlorinators in the market are to be attributed to the provision of
En
inferior rubber holders, mal-adjustments of the plunger stroke and inferior types
of rubber diaphragm. Every care should be exercised in selecting a good and
gin
robust quality of chlorinator suited to the needs of each case.

ee
Structure of infiltration galleries –
In developing safe supplies through infiltration works the essential details to be
rin
followed in the design of infiltration galleries have been set out in the W ater
supply Manual .
8.Slow sand filter.-
g.n
et
Where slow sand filtration is adopted for treatment of raw water, the design
criteria to the adopted are as set out in the W ater Supply Manual. A typical
design calculation to determine the economical size of filters is given in the
following page.
9.Type design of iron removal plant. –
A typical design of an iron –removal plant should b followed. The basic factors
governing the design of such plants are set out in the W ater Supply Manual.
These may be adopted with suitable notification where removal of iron from
ground or surface water is necessary.
10.Mechanical fitter plants. –
76
the per capita rate of supply to be adopted in respect of each community, the
most economical means of conveyance of the supply from the source to the
service points and the design of the distribution system in each case may
generally follow the guide – lines set out in the W ater Supply Manual.
ww
12.Charts for pipe flow computation. –
w.E
It is recommended that Hazen and W illiam’s Formula should be adopted in the
design of pressure mains while the Cutter’s Formula or the Manning’s
asy
Formula should be used for free-flow conduits. Readymade charts for computing
pipe size under the Hazen and W illiam and Kutter’s Formulae may be used.The
En
Hazen and W illiams’s Chart is based on a value of 100 for ‘c’. For other values of
‘c’ applicable to different pipe materials (as recommended in the W ater Supply
gin
Manual) the corresponding figures will have to be deducted.
ee rin
g.n
et
77
The Kutter’s Charts are for a value of ‘n’ =.015 which may be adopted for all
pipes upto 24 ‚ dia. and masonry conduits of all sizes. A value of ‘n’ = .013
may be used for pipes above 24‛ dia.
