QUESTION 01
Prepare a Rough-cost Estimate of a residential building project with a total plinth area of all building of
1500 sq.m. given that:
1 m2 = 10.763 ft2
Plinth Area Rate = Rs 950.00 / sq. ft.
Extra for special architectural treatment = 1.5 % of the building cost.
Extra for water supply and sanitary installations = 5 % of the building cost.
Extra for internal installations = 14 % of the building cost
Extra for Electric & Sui gas services = 16 % of building cost
Contingencies 3 % overall
Supervision charges = 8 % overall
Design charges = 2 % overall
QUESTION 02
Prepare a Rough-cost Estimate based on unit costs of per unit plinth area basis of a four storeyed office
building having a carpet area of 2000 sq.m. for obtaining the administrative approval of the Government.
It may be assumed that 30 % of the built up area will be taken by the corridors, verandas, lavatories,
staircase, etc. and 10 % of built up area will be occupied by walls. The following data is given:
Hint:
Let x be the total built up area
Then
x = 2000+0.3x+0.1x
Plinth Area Rate = Rs: 1100.00 / sq. ft.
Extra for special architectural treatment = 0.5 % of the building cost.
Extra for water supply and sanitary installations = 6 % of the building cost.
Extra for internal installations = 14 % of the building cost
Extra for electric services = 12.5 % of building cost
Extra for sui gas services = 6 % of building cost
Extra due to deep foundations at site = 1.0 % of building cost
Contingencies = 2.5 % overall
Supervision charges = 8 % overall
Design charges = 2.5 % overall

Assuming suitable plinth area of the building, plinth area rate, and other rates including design,
supervision, contingencies, landscaping, arboriculture, and development charges, work out the total
estimated cost of the hospital based on unit costs of per unit plinth area basis.
