Introduction
The process of determining the rate of an
item of work or supply of the material is
known as the analysis of rates.
The computation of rate per unit of a
particular item of work, following its
specifications, from the cost of quantities
of materials involved, the cost of laboures
involved and other miscellaneous petty
expenses required for its completion is
known as the analysis of rates.
Factors affecting analysis of
rates
Material
 Quantities of different materials of an item depends on
the specification of that item (i.e 1:3:6)
 Prices of materials depends on market conditions and
vary from place to place
 % of wastage is considered (depends on operations)
Labour
 Skilled or Unskilled (Capacity/talent of labour)
 Quantity of labour is decided from past experience
based on the capacity of doing work in a day of 8 hours
 Capacity and wages vary from place to place
Site Condition
 Difficult site will result in high rates (i.e Problem of
groundwater, remote locations, construction difficulties,
non availability of materials etc.,)
Factors affecting analysis of
rates
Specifications
 Very rigid specs without any tolerances will result in
high rates (BMC vs. Port)
Conditions of Contract
 Strict Conditions will result in higher rates (i.e BG, RM,
LD, MA, safety, completion time)
Quantum of Work
 If the work is very big, the rates will likely to be on lower
side.
Special Equipment (i.e dredging, soil exploration, Multi-
axle trailer, cranes etc.,)
Place of Work
 Highly congested area may result in double handling of
material
Factors affecting analysis of
rates
Profit of Contractor
 Profit will include overhead charges also
 Job Overheads:- Salary of staff, supervision,
workmen compensation (PF, insurance),
interest on investment, losses on advances
 General Overheads:- Pass issue process,
office establishment, guest house rent,
travelling, stationary, printing, telephone,
taxes etc.
Miscellaneous
 Climatic condition, reputation of the
contractor
Purpose of analysis of rates
To compute the current actual cost
per unit of item at the locality
To examine the viability of rates
offered by contractors (Ring)
To calculate the quantity of materials
and labour strength required for
project planning
To fix up labour contract rates
How to fix up rates per unit of
Item
Five sub-heads and summation of these will
result in the rate per unit of an item
 Quantity of materials and their landed cost
including all inclusive of taxes
 Labour Costs (Wages, expenditure on amenities,
workman compensation etc., also considered)
 Cost of equipments or tools and plants (Operation
and maintenance including depreciation is
considered. lumpsum % is considered) (1.5%)
 Overhead or establishment charges (including
incidental) (2 to 5% is generally allowed)
 Contractor’s profit (for small work 15%, for large
work 10%)
Task or Out-Turn of Work
The capacity of doing work by a skilled
labour in the form of quantity or work per
day is known as the task or Out Turn of
Labour.
The Out-Turn of work per labour varies to
some extent to the nature, size, height,
location etc.,

Analysis of Rates
 Earthworks
 Concrete Works – 10 Cum Vs. 15.4 to 15.7 Cum
Reason- 45 to 50 % voids in dry concrete and volume of
water based on W/C ratio in wet concrete.
Reach concrete ----- More voids and less W/C ratio
Exp: - Volume of Wet Concrete = 10 Cum
Volume of Dry Concrete = 15.4 Cum (54% increase)
Cement = 15.4/(sum of proportion) in 10 cum
 Mortar
Volume of wet mortar = 10 cum
Volume of dry mortar = 12.5 to 14.0 cum is considered (25
to 40% increase)
Cement required for 1:4 proportion of mortar for 10 cum =
12.5/(1+4) = 2.5 Cum, sand = 4 x 2.5 = 10 Cum
Brick Masonry
Quantification of material required of 10 cum of Brickwork
Standard brickwork (20 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm) =
10/(0.2x0.1x0.1) = 5000 Nos
Traditional brickwork (22.9 cm x 11.4 cm x 7.6 cm) = 10 /
(0.229x0.114x0.076) = 5040 Nos = say 5000 Nos
Mortar required = 10 – (5000 x 0.19 x 0.09 x 0.09) = 2.305
cum
add 15% extra for frog filling, wastage etc.,
No of bricks = (10-2.305) = 7.695 / (0.19 x 0.09 x 0.09)
=5000
Total volume of mortar = 2.305 + 15% of 2.305 = 2.65 Cum
For dry volume increase it by 25% = 2.65+25% of 2.65 =
3.3 Cum
 Consider the labor requirement to carry out 10 Cum of
masonry work
Random rubble or UCR
Masonry
Quantification of material required of 10 cum of
Brickwork
For 10 cum of RCR work stones required = 12.5
cum
Dry mortar required = 5.0 cum (including
wastage)
For mortar of proportion 1:6, cement = 5/(1+6)
= 0.714 cum
Cement = 0.714/0.034 = 21 bags
Sand = 0.714 * 6 = 4.28 cum
Coursed rubble Stone Masonry
Quantification of material required of 10 cum of
Brickwork
For 10 cum of RCR work stones required = 12.5
cum
Dry mortar required = 4.2 cum (including
wastage)
For mortar of proportion 1:6, cement =
4.2/(1+6) = 0.6 cum
Cement = 0.6/0.034 = 17.64 bags
Sand = 0.6 * 6 = 3.6 cum
