Project Cost Estimate

The document provides a breakdown of the material, labor, and equipment costs to calculate the unit price for C-25 concrete per cubic meter. It first lists the materials required for a 1:2:3 cement concrete mix. It then calculates the material cost by multiplying the quantity of each material by its rate. The labor cost is calculated based on hourly salaries and utilization factors for each worker. Equipment cost considers the hourly rental rate of the mixer. The direct cost is the sum of material, labor and equipment costs. Indirect costs are then calculated as 15% overhead and 20% profit of the direct cost to determine the total unit price.

Rate Analysis (cont…)

• Example:

– Calculate the Unit price for C -25 concrete per m3


of work (formwork and reinforcement rated
separately). Assume 15% overhead and 20 %
profit.
Solution
– Total cost (TC) = Direct Cost (DC) + Indirect Cost(IC)
– IC = (15% + 20%) of DC = 35 % of DC
– Direct Cost (DC) = Material Cost (MC) + Labor Cost
(LC) + Equipment Cost (EC)
– Material cost (MC) – using the material breakdown
shown above:
Material breakdown
Materials required for 1:2:3 cement concrete mix – a commonly
used grade of concrete for structural works.
 Wet (fresh) concrete mix ……….…… = 1m3
 Quantity for dry base analysis... = 1.55m3
 Volume of cement…………………= 1/6*1.55 = 0.258m3
(=0.258m3/0.035m3 per bag) = 7.4 bags of cement
Sands ………………………….........= 2/6* 1.55 = 0.517m3 of
sand
 Coarse aggregate………………...= 3/6 *1.55 = 0.775m3 of C.A
 Water ( assuming w/c 0.62)……….……..……….….= 0.16 m3

Note: - 1.5 to 1.6 times dry volume of the materials is required to get 1m3 of
compact dense fresh concrete mix.
A) Material cost

Cement =7.4 Bags/ m3 * 250/2 Birr/Bags = 925.00 Birr/ m3


Sand = 0.517 m3 * 175 Birr/ m3 = 90.48 Birr / m3
C. aggregate 0.775 m3 * 180 Birr/ m3 = 139.50 Birr/ m3
Water = 0.16 m3 * 0.25 Birr / m3 = 0.04 Birr/ m3
Total MC ( Birr/ m 3 ) of concrete) = 1155.02 Birr/ m3
B) Labor Cost
Labor cost (LC) Assuming the crew consists of a site engineer, foreman,
mason, and four daily laborers and a productivity of 0.50 m 3 per hr:
Salary per hr Utilization LC/
Factor (UF) hr
Site = 4,000 Birr/ Month / ( 22 days * 8 hrs/day) = 22.73 = 1/10 = 0.1 2.27
Engineer Birr/hr
Foreman = 60 Birr/Day * 1/8 Day/ hr = 7.50 Birr/ hr = 1/4 = 0.25 ( 1.88
Mason = 45 Birr/Day * 1/8 Day/ hr = 5.63 Birr/ hr =1 5.63
Daily = 4 * 20 Birr/Day * 1/8 Day/ hr = 10.00 Birr/ hr =1
laborers(4)
10.0
0
Mixer = 40 Birr/Day * 1/8 Day/ hr = 5.00 Birr/ hr =1 5.00
Operator
Total LC ( Birr/ hr) ( i.e. for 0.5 m 3 of concrete) =
24.78
Total LC ( Birr/m3) = 24.78 Birr / hr / (0. 5
m3 / hr) = 48.56
c) Equipment Cost
Salary per hr LC/ hr
Mixer = 20 Birr/hr * 1/0.5 m3/hr = 40.00 Birr / m3
Total EC ( Birr/m3) = 40.00 Birr / m3

Total Cost calculation


DC = MC + LC +EC
DC = 1155.02 + 48.56 + 40.00 = 1243.58 Birr/m3
IC = 35/100 * 1243.58 = 435.25 Birr/m3
TC = (1243.58 + 435.25) = 1,635.78 ≅ 1, 1640.00 Birr/m3
