An estimate provides the anticipated cost of construction based on calculations of items and quantities from drawings. A quantity survey involves calculating the quantities of materials needed for each construction item using drawings, which when priced provides the total cost. Specifications provide details on the nature, quality, and class of work and materials as well as construction methods. Estimates require rates for materials, labor, and transportation to calculate costs. A site plan shows the location and surrounding features of a construction area, while a line plan uses single lines to represent the main features of a construction.

are required. 4. RATES The rates of various items of works, materials to be used in the construction and
the wages of different categories of labor (skilled and unskilled) should be available for preparing an
estimate. The cost of transportation charges should also be known. As far as possible sanctioned
“Schedule of Rates” shall be followed or the rates may be worked out by the “Analysis of Rates” method.
