RATE ANALYSIS

ANALYSIS OF RATES

 To determine the rate of a particular item of work from a

quantities of materials and labours required and their
costs

 The rates of materials and labour are changing from

place to place, therefore the rates of different items of
work also changes from place to place
PURPOSE OF RATE ANALYSIS

 To determine the current rate per unit of an item at the

locality
 To determine the viability of rates offered by contractors
 To calculate the quantity of materials and labours
required for project planning
 To fix up labour contract rates
ANALYSIS OF RATES
 Every Estimate should be accompanied by the analysis
of rates of the items provided in it .

 Analysis of rates comprises of

1. Cost of material
2. Cost of Labour
3. Cost of T and P
4. Overheads or establishment charges
5. Contractor’s Profit
Cost of material

 To obtain the cost of material in the unit amount of an

item, first specification is studied carefully.
 Quantity of material required is calculated and multiplied
by the cost to obtain the unit cost.
 Cost includes transportation, sales tax, insurance, as
well as profit.
 An estimator has to do his market survey and the area
survey before calculating the unit cost of the material
Cost of labour

 For specific works, different types of labourers, such as

skilled and unskilled labour, mason, carpenter, mazdoor,
etc are required to execute the work.
 Unit amount of work is obtained based on experience
 Their cost is obtained from the local survey or
government wage rules.
Overhead cost

 This is usually taken as 2 to 5% of unit rate.

 Two types
 General overhead
 Job overhead
Job Overhead
 Repair and depreciation of tool and plants
 Salaries of supervisors, etc; who are indirectly involved
in the work
 Temporary godown and sheds to store the material at the
site
 Lighting arrangements
 Labour welfare
 Safety scheme
 Small tools used for work
General Overhead

Salaries of office staff,

 Printing and stationary charges

 Electricity and rental charges

 Communication expenses such as telephone, e-

mail, etc,
 Traveling etc.
ANALYSIS OF RATES

 Tools and Plants ( T & P ) = 2.5 to 3 % of

the labour cost
 Transportation cost more than 8 km is considered

 Water charges = 1% of total cost of materials

and labour
 Contractor’s profit = 10 %
 Calculation Of Quantities Of Materials
 Example 1. Find out dry materials required
for 1 cu m. Cement concrete 1:4:8 in foundation
Solution.
 Ratio = 1:4:8 (cement,sand and aggregate)
 Sum = 1+4+8=13

ASSUME,
Total dry mortar for 10 cu m cement concrete=15.6Cum

cont..
 Therefore the following materials are required for
10cum:
 Cement = 15.6/13 = 1.2cum
• 1cum cement = 1440kg
• I bag = 50kg
So, cement required for 10cum =(1.2*1440)/50
• = 34.56 bags

 Sand = 4*1.2 =4.8cum

 Aggregates(stone chips) = 8*1.2 =9.6cum
cont..
so materials for 1 cu m cement concrete 1:4:8
 Cement 3.41 bags

 Sand 0.48 cu m Ans.

 Brick ballast 0.96 cu m

Calculation Of Quantities Of Materials for mortar

 Calculate the materials required for 12mm thick

plastering in surface for 100m² . Ratio=1:6
Solution:
• Area x thickness = quantity of mortar for uniform thickness
• Volume of wet mortar = Add 30% of quantity of mortar for
uniform thickness
• Volume of dry mortar = Add 25% of Volume of wet mortar
• Quantity of material = Volume of dry mortar/ sum of
numerals of proportions
Here,
quantity of mortar for uniform thickness = 100x0.012 = 1.2cum
Volume of wet mortar = 1.2+(1.2x30/100)
=1.2+0.36 =1.56cum
Volume of dry mortar =1.56+(1.56x25/100)
= 1.56+0.39 =1.95cum
= 2cum
Ratio =1:6
Sum =7
Quantity of cement = 2/7 =0.3cum
Sand = 6x0.3 =1.8cum
 Find the materials required for 6 mm thick
cement plastering 1:3 in RCC ceiling
Take 100m².

Ans:- volume of dry mortar=1cum

Cement=0.25cum = 7.5 bags
Sand=0.75cum
Analysis Of Rates Of Different Items Of Work.
1. Earthwork excavation
Earth work in surface excavation not exceeding 30 cm in depth but
exceeding 1.5 m in width as well as 10 sqm on plan including
disposal of excavated earth up to 50 m and lift up to 1.5 m, disposed
soil to be levelled and neatly dressed.

 Calculation of materials for 10m³ of brickwork:

 No. of metric bricks having size with mortar

=10/(0.1x0.1x0.2)=5000nos.
 Size of brick without mortar=9cmx9cmx19cm
 Mortar required /10m³ = 10-(5000x0.09x0.09x0.19)=2.3m³
 Volume of wet mortar = 2.3+(2.3x15/100)=2.64m³
 Volume of dry mortar =2.64+(2.64*(1/3))=3.50m³
 Work out the rate analysis for first class brickwork
in CM 1:4 superstructure ground floor

Solution:-
step 1 : calculation of quantities for 10m³
Volume of dry mortar =3.50m³
Cement required = 3.5/(1+4)= 0.7m³
Sand required = 0.7x4 = 2.8m³
No. of bricks required= =10/(0.1x0.1x0.2)=5000nos
