 CO2 : Prepare taking Off Sheet, bill of quantities and
estimate the total cost of building and civil
engineering works in accordance to SMMM and
CESMM

PO3: Ability to identify, formulate and solve

engineering problems using thinking skills and
engineering reasoning
 Lesson Outcome

2.1 Prepare the taking off sheet and bill of quantities

for concrete, reinforcement and formwork for;
Beam
Foundation
Stump/column
Slab
Example 1
Figure 1 shows the detailing of pad footing and stump to be constructed. Carry out the
calculation for quantities of material for the formwork, concrete and reinforcement bar for
the stump and pad footing. Given the concrete cover for pad footing and stump is 30 mm and
sawn timber used is 25 mm thick. Concrete grade25 is used for the pad footing and stump.
