    MODE AND METHOD OF MEASUREMENTS:EARTHWORK AND BACK FILLING:

    1. Block Levels has to be taken at the start of the work. The intervals can be of 3m or 5m.

    2. The Uom is in CUM and should be rounded off to nearest two decimals.

    3. For Pit Excavation an offset of 30 cm can be taken on either side of the footing up to 1.5 m

    depth and for more than 1.5 m depth it can be taken as 50 to 60 cm.

    4. For Pit excavation Depth can be arrived by taking

    = Average top level Average Bottom Level

    5. For Mass Excavation Earth work quantity can be calculated by using any of the rules like

    Trapezoidal or simsons rule etc. Proper CVI (Reasons) has to be maintained for Mass

    Excavation

    6. For hard rock and soft rock the top levels and bottom levels should be taken with consultant

    approval. The Quantity can be arrived with top and bottom levels or the quantity can be

    arrived by stacking the Hard rock. The place for stacking should be selected in accordance with

    clients approval and must be recored with joint measurement from client and contractor.

    7. Back filling quantity can be arrived using trapezoidal or simsons rule.

    8. Final quantity is arrived by deducting the volume of concrete and size stone masonry below

    ground level from the total quantity.

    9. Earth brought from outside or to be carted away is calculated by

    = Total Excavated Quantity - Total Backfilling Quantity.

    If Value is - Ve - It is Earth brought from outside

    +Ve - It is Earth to be carted away.

    10. For Jungle clearance item, the area to be considered is 5m off set all-round the building and if

    for road works, 1m offset should be considered on either side.

    11. For EX: The below is the block level of area 40 m X 20 m with levels of 5 m interval with mass

    excavation to be done for entire area with excavation bottom level as 95.2

    The volume can be found by taking average rectangle/square method. The depth of excavation

    =(98.75+98.7+98.68+98.85)/4 95.2 (i.e. Avg Top lvl Bottom lvl.).

    = 3.545 m

    Area = 5 X 5 = 25 sqm

    Volume of Earth = Area X Depth = 25 X 3.545 = 88.63 cum

    11

  • 7/29/2019 Estimation Manual

    12/32

    Similarly Volume of Earth has to be calculated for Other Square areas and to be added to get

    the total quantity. If there is hard rock, it can be stacked separately. The volume of Hard rock

    stacked can be found by taking site measurements. For Ex, refer below sketch as stack

    measurement.

    The Hard rock is stacked in trapezoidal shape generally.

    Stacked Quantity = H/3 (A1 + A2 + (A1 + A2)

    A1 = Lx B = 10 x 8 = 80 m2

    A2 = L1xB1= 6 x 4 = 24 m2

    = 2/3x(80+24+(80+24))= 76.13 cum

    The Volume of Hard rock = The volume of stacked quantity Deduction for voids.

    Deduction for Voids should be preaccepted and normally stated in percentage of stacked

    quantity. From the total Quantity of the mixture the quantity of hard rock excavated thus arrived at

    shall be deducted to work out the quantity of the soft, disintegrated rock excavated.

    PLAIN CEMENT CONCRETE:

    1. Quantities should be taken only as per drawings with offset as mentioned in drawings.

    2. Any variations with respect to drawings should be recorded and CVI should be got from clients

    and should be intimated to Estimation Department and Project head immediately.

    3. The variation can be like mass Pcc, Variation in Thickness due to site requirement, Grade

    change, laying using pump etc. Variation due to faulty execution cannot be claimed.

    4. Shuttering for edges has to be claimed unless it is mass execution.

    12

    13/32

    5. UOM is usually in cum. For Screed it is in sqm .

    REINFORCED CEMENT CONCRETE:

    1. The Quantities can be rounded off to the nearest two decimals.

    2. Concrete in Structural members, such as columns, Beams and slabs shall each be measured

    separately.

    3. No Deductions shall be made for the following.

    Opening up to 0.1 m2 Volume occupied by reinforcement. Volume occupied by pipes, conduits, sheathing, etc not exceeding 100 cm2 each in

    cross-section.

    Moulds, drips moulding, chamfers, splays rounded or covered angles, beds, grooves

    and rebates up to 10 cm in girth

    4. Footings:Volume of concrete = L *B *D for Rectangular and Square footing.

    For Trapezoidal Footing, Volume of Concrete is calculated in two parts. Bottom

    Rectangular portion is calculated separately and Trapezoidal volume is calculated separately.

    Rectangular Volume = L*B*D

    Trapezoidal Volume V= H/3 (A1 + A2 + (A1 + A2)

    Total Volume = Rectangular Volume + Trapezoidal Volume

    Where V= Volume; h= height;

    A1 and A2 are area at the Top and Bottom ends.

    5. Columns: Columns shall be measured from top of Column base to underside of first floor slaband subsequently from top of floor slab to underside of floor slab above. Incase of Columns for

    flat slabs, flare of column shall be included with column for Measurement.

    6. Beams: Beams shall be measured from face to face of columns and shall include haunches, ifany, between columns and beams. The depth of beams shall be measured from bottom of slab

    to bottom of the beam except incase of inverted beam where it shall be measured from top of

    slab to top of beam.

    13

  • 7/29/2019 Estimation Manual

    14/32

    7. Pedestals: Pedestals is measured from top of Footing to top/ Bottom of plinth beamdepending on site conditions. If measured up to bottom of Plinth beam then Ground floor

    column can be measured from Bottom of plinth beam to underside of slab. The Height of

    Pedestal can be arrived from levels of footing and plinth beam. The Height shall be

    crosschecked with site also.

    FORM WORKS:

    1. Dimensions shall be measured to the nearest 0.01 m.

    2. Areas shall be worked out to the nearest 0.01 m2.

    3. Formwork shall be measured in sqm as the actual surfaces in contact with the concrete or any

    other material requiring formwork.4. Shuttering For PCC Edges has to be taken unless otherwise it is mass Pcc.

    5. Footing:

    Footing shuttering = 2(L+B)*D Where L Length, B Breadth, D Depth.

    6. Column shuttering is calculated same as above. But height of column should be taken from

    top of column base to underside of floor slab. Pedestal shuttering is also normally taken in

    Column shuttering. Circular Columns should be taken separately i.e. Q= 2 r h/ dh where r-

    radius and d Diameter, h - Column height.

    7. In case of Flat slabs for column-shuttering height of column is taken up to bottom of column

    capital and capital shuttering should be taken separately.

    8. No Deductions shall be made for opening up to 0.4 m 2. No Deduction shall be made for any

    opening /cutouts when slip form technique is used.

    9. Formwork to secondary beams shall be measured up to the sides of main beams, but no

    deduction shall be made from the formwork of the main beam where the secondary beam

    intersects it. Formwork to beam shall be measured up to sides of column, but no deduction

    shall be made from the formwork to stanchion or column casings at intersections of beam.

    10. Examples for calculating Footing Concrete & Shuttering: Size of Footing = 4 m x 3m x 0.8 m

    before 25 th of every month and submitted for certification, along with the invoice before 28 th of the

    month. A copy of the running bill has to be forwarded to estimation department on 25 th of every

    month. The running bills should be certified within 28 days from preparation. The Bill submission date

    varies as per Location of site and requirement of client.

    Running bill abstract shall be divided into three parts

    23

  • 7/29/2019 Estimation Manual

    24/32

    Annexure A: Items as per PO

    Annexure B: Items Exceeding PO

    Annexure C: Non Tendered Items

    In Annexure A, all the items as per the Purchase order / work order should be included irrespective of

    whether its executed in the site or not. If an item is not executed then the quantity and value will be

    zero.

    In Annexure B, only the items, which are exceeding the PO/WO, shall be included. The items number

    should be same as that of the PO. The quantities that are exceeding the PO quantity shall be included

    in this annexure.

    In Annexure C, all non-tendered items are included. The specification and quantity as executed in the

    site are shown in this annexure. The estimation department will give the rate for the non-tendered

    item. All non-tendered items should be supported by any of the following.

    (a) Site Instruction from Client/architect/consultant

    (b) Drawings issued by the architect

    (c) Confirmation of Verbal instruction issued by client/consultant/architect

    (d) Minutes of meeting, if the same is discussed & approved in the meeting

    Pre final

    The pre final / final bill should be prepared within 14 days after the handing over/completion of the

    project. The final bill should have the following

    Reconciliation statement (client supply and company supplied materials)

    Certified copy of all running bills

    Supporting documents for Non Tendered items

    Rates for Non tendered items (Which shall be provided by estimation department)

    The copy of the Pre final bill should be given to QAD for final checking. The final bill should be

    submitted for certification after QAD auditing.

    The Pre final bill should be certified within 56 days from the date of preparation/submission.

    After certification of Pre Final bill, a copy of the bill has to be forwarded to estimation department for

    amendment of the PO. The estimation department will take up the PO amendment.

    FINAL BILL:

    24

  • 7/29/2019 Estimation Manual

    25/32

    Final bill shall be raised only after the amendment of PO. The final bill value should be

    equal to the Amended PO Value, so that there will be no problem in accounting the invoice and for

    closure of the PO.

    6. NT ITEMS AND DEVIATIONS FROM PO

    The Non Tendered items and deviations will happen in almost all projects. Any item that is not

    considered in the estimate is a Non Tendered item. Any which is considered in the estimate and during

    the time of execution there is a change in the specification can be considered as deviation item. For

    example, in the estimate the following item is considered

    (a) Providing and fixing 190mm high skirting in Jet Black Granite flushed to the wall surface with

    mortar backing including chamfering the edges for Staircase

    It is decided to use Multi color granite instead of jet-black granite, and then the item will be a deviation

    item from the original specification. Although the item is considered in estimate, the rate for the item

    varies due to change in specification.

    If an entirely new item of work, which is not considered in the estimate, is introduced, the item is billed

    in Non Tendered item. In normal case, the specification of non-tendered item has to be clearly decided

    and the rate has to be finalized before starting the job. But in very few exceptional cases, the item can

    be executed with the written approval of client/consultant.

    7. QAD AUDITINGThe quantity audit department will audit the client bills periodically. Its the

    responsibility of the billing engineer to give full support to the audit team. Each item has to be

    explained properly and any variation informed by the audit team should be incorporated in the

    subsequent bills. The audit team will scrutinize the following elements

    25

  • 7/29/2019 Estimation Manual

    26/32

    a. Method of measurement

    b. Status of drawing

    c. NT items

    d. Site Instruction

    e. Stages of certification

    f. Expenditure Vs Bill - Comparison

    g. Missed out / Deviation Items

    h. Rates

    The billing engineer has to produce the clear facts related to above items. The audit team will explain

    the drawbacks, if any, and care should be taken to avoid it.

    8. BILL CERTIFICATION:This is one of the most important jobs as far as billing engineers are

    concerned. Bill prepared has to be properly submitted to the client/consultant with necessary

    documents such as invoice, abstract sheet, detailed measurement sheet, site instruction/CVI, drawings

    etc. The client/consultant will verify the bill as executed in site and certify based on actual. The billing

    engineer has to explain each item properly with the help of drawings, hand sketch. There should not be

    26

  • 7/29/2019 Estimation Manual

    27/32

    any disparity in the bill submitted. Any correction proposed by the client/consultant has to be done

    immediately.

    Following points has to be noted before submitting the bill

    Properly file the abstract, measurement sheet. The original has to be submitted and the copy

    to be retained by the billing engineer.

    The invoice in the first page followed by bill abstract, copy of PO and measurement sheet

    The measurement sheet should be numbered and the page no has to be indicated in the

    remarks column of abstract sheet against the item of work

    Relevant drawings/ hand sketches to be filed along with the measurement sheet

    Any carry over / back file to be indicated with page numbers

    After the certification of the bills, necessary corrections as mentioned by the architect/consultant/client

    to be incorporated in the bill and a copy of the bill duly signed by the architect/consultant/client to be

    forwarded to estimation/billing department. The architect/consultant/client may issue a certificate of

    payment, which reflects the amount due to the contractor and taxes to be paid by the client against

    the work executed.

    The billing engineer should take minimum time possible for certification of the bills. The time allotted

    for certification of running bills is 28 days and final bill is 56 days.

    9.RECONCILIATION

    All materials used in the project have to be reconciled and the reconciliation

    of client-supplied material has to be attached with the final bill. The intention of reconciliation is to

    arrive the percentage of wastages incurred during the course of the project and comparing with

    the permissible percentage of wastages. The reconciliation has to be carried out monthly so that a

    27

  • 7/29/2019 Estimation Manual

    28/32

    control on excess wastages of materials is achieved. The major items, which are to be recon

    ciliated, are

    10.INVOICINGThe bill carries details about the specification, Unit of measurement, quantity, rate and

    amount. Apart from these there is a tax component, which may not be shown in the bill abstract. The

    tax component may be for the entire amount of bill raised or for certain item of work. While we submit

    the bill to the client, the tax component has to be added and we have to raise a claim for the entire

    amount. The Invoice is the claim put forward by the contractor for the item of work executed as per

    the agreement along with the taxes/duties as applicable.

    28

  • 7/29/2019 Estimation Manual

    29/32

    If the tax component is for the entire bill value then its shown in the invoice itself. If the tax

    component is for certain item of work then there should be separate working sheet attached clearly

    showing the applicable taxes and the same has to be reflected in the invoice.

    The copy of the bill has to be forwarded to accounts department for invoicing. The accounts

    department will provide the appropriate tax percentage/value as per the terms and conditions in
