RATE ANALYSIS

A GLANCE AT BASIC INFO REQUIRED FOR

RATE ANALYSIS !

www.civil4m.com
 RATE ANALYSIS

 DEFINATION –
It is a method of deriving the construction cost of any
particular completed item per unit ,by considering the
cost of material ,labour , machineries and other
miscellaneous costs involved in the execution of the
item .

www.civil4m.com
 RATE ANALYSIS

 Normally contractors profit ,at the rate 10 % to 20% is

added to the actual rate of quoting ,for the final rate of
the particular item .
 This Rate analysis for the completed items is required for
calculating the abstract of quantities .
 Rate analysis can be based on practical considerations as
per the local method of measurement of work ,scope of
labour work in item etc .
 Basic considerations may change from place to place
,contractor’s profits , contingencies etc and may vary as
per the conditions of contracts ,work place etc .

 BASIC INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR RATE
ANALYSIS

 The unit of that particular item i.e number,square feet

,cubic feet ,sq mt or cu.m etc .
 Rates of materials required as delivered at the site
,including transportation charges , all taxes etc
 Actual labour required to execute that standard
unit/work from available task work chart / available
labour rates .
 Running ,hiring and operational cost of machinery
,charges of tools and tackles .

 HOW TO PREPARE RATE ANALYSIS ?

 Considering the above points in mind the following

format should be prepared and as per your site
situations and demands .
 Alongwith ,Descriptions of materials ,specifications
,work procedures ,Terms & conditions of execution
of work etc . Should be written .
 Since rates of materials and laboureres vary from
place to place the rates of different items of work also
vary .
 Hence ,preparing rate analysis is important for
finding out the exact rate of the concerned item .

 IMPORTANCE OF PREPARING RATE
ANALYSIS

 IT helps in preparing estimates of new projects .

 It helps in quoting for tenders ,comparing with other
tenders and similar projects .
 It guides to comparing actual expenditure vs the
estimated expenditure
 It helps in calculating completed item costs for extra
amenities .

 RESPONSIBILITIES OF ESTIMATION
ENGINEER

 ESTIMATION
 Work out the detailed quantities of the items .collect
and check all the updated drawings and thoroughly
study the drawings.
 Find out the costs per square meter of the various
items for various projects .
 Work out labour expenses and other expenses which
occur during construction i.e site development ,plot
development ,sanction expenses ,consultants and
other legal expenses.

 RESPONSIBILITIES OF ESTIMATION
ENGINEER

 By adding all above costs considered , total cost per

sq.m of the whole project should be found out .
 Futher ,the estimate made should be split item wise
and the cost incurred at various stages should be
worked out separately i.e plinth ,slabs ,masonary
,plaster ,flooring etc , split into an accurate % to find
out the expenses incurred in various stages .
 This records should be referred to while preparing
the construction progress chart for each site .

www.civil4m.com
 Before preparing the estimate ,one should have the
total rate ( Material + Labour ) of that particular
item .For this rate analysis is the must .
 Estimate engineer should prepare various required
rate analysis with proper mode of measurements
.This will be useful in estimation and billing .

www.civil4m.com
 Daily Work Progress & Material Consumption

 To calculate consumption of various materials like

cement ,steel , bricks ,blocks etc as per
daily/weekly/monthly progress of work .To compare
actual quantities worked out as per rate analysis .
 To check and information to Project Head
management .
 To work out for various labour work involve at site
,using standard labour task work and to give the
percentage breakup either floor wise or work wise
