Estimate the quantities of the following items of a two roomed building from the given plan and section:
1. Earthwork in excavation
2. Raft in foundation
3. Plinth in PCC (Both underground and above ground)
4. 2cm thick Damp proof course (DPC)
5. 1st Class Brickwork in superstructure
Total c/c length of all walls = 2 x c/c length of long walls + 3 x c/c length of short walls
= 2 x (0.3/2 + 4 + 0.3 + 6 + 0.3/2) + 3 x (0.3/2 + 6 + 0.3/2)
= 40.10 m
