Quantity sheet (detailed measurement)
| Item | No. | L (m) | B (m) | H (m) | Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Excavation | 1 | 14.92 | 0.90 | 1.00 | 13.43 m³ |
| PCC 1:3:6 | 1 | 14.92 | 0.90 | 0.15 | 2.01 m³ |
| Brickwork in foundation and plinth | 1 | 14.92 | 0.35 | 0.75 | 3.92 m³ |
| DPC | 1 | 14.92 | 0.23 | - | 3.43 m² |
| Brickwork in superstructure | 1 | 14.92 | 0.23 | 3.00 | 10.29 m³ |
| Deduct door | -1 | 1.00 | 0.23 | 2.10 | -0.48 m³ |
| Deduct window | -1 | 1.20 | 0.23 | 1.20 | -0.33 m³ |
| Net superstructure brickwork | 9.48 m³ | ||||
| Plaster inside 2(4+3) x 3 (no deduction, see note) | 42.00 m² | ||||
| Plaster outside 2(4.46+3.46) x 3 less openings 3.54 | 43.98 m² | ||||
| Flooring | 1 | 4.0 | 3.0 | - | 12.00 m² |
Note: both openings (2.10 m² and 1.44 m²) are between 0.5 and 3 m², so as per IS 1200 they are deducted from one face only (here the outside), and the reveals are not added. Total plaster = 42.00 + 43.98 = 85.98 m².
Abstract of cost (rates illustrative)
