1.1 INTRODUCTION
One of the most important and crucial factor in planning and construction of a multi-story
building is the cost and economy of the building, whether it is a bungalow or multi-story
apartment building, economy is always the number one consideration for the owner or the
shareholders. Till date no such tool is available to portend the total cost in a more rational
way, the only available solution for the industry is experience of a few engineers who have
worked on remotely similar projects.
This study will allow the industries to estimate the total cost in a more rational way, also from
the graphs that will be developed from this study, one can estimate the change in the probable
cost for different variation in story height and for different shapes of a building.
Interpolations from the results obtained from this study will be endless since one can use
these results to interpret many different aspects about the cost of the project.

1.3 Scope
1.4 Significance
Till date there is no rational tool available in the market to portend the probable material
consumption of a building. There has always been a need to know the variation of material
consumption with respect to change in geometric parameters of a building.
There is also a need to compare material consumption for buildings with different plan areas
and heights in order to fix the number of stories and shape of the building.
This study will provide the industry with a tool that can be used to estimate the total material
consumption of building with respect to different parameters such as height and shape of the
building.
