The detailed estimation of building quantities like earth work, foundation concrete, DPC, brickwork in plinth and superstructure, R.C.C.etc. can be worked out by using different  methods.  Following are the three different methods used for estimating building works: 1.       Long wall – short wall method or Individual wall Method ( out-to-out and in-to-in method)  2.       Centreline method. 3.       Partly centre line and short wall method. 1. Long Wall – Short Wall Method   In this method, the wall along the length of room is considered to be long wall while the wall perpendicular to long wall is said to be short wall. To get the length of longwall or shortwall, calculate first the centre line lengths of individual walls. Then the length of long wall, (out to out) may be calculated after adding half breadth at each end to its centre line length. Thus the length of short wall (in-to-in) measu...

Engineer has to work out the value of an existing property for various purpose. Valuation is needed for wealth tax, municipal taxation, etc Valuation is an art of judgment based on experience and relevant statistical data to forecast the value of a property at present.

To this cost of Product, agents’ commission and stamp duty etc. is also added. Value is the price estimated to be realized in a sale proceed between a willing buyer and willing seller. 2.Rateable Value: net annual letting value of a property...

Contracts  Contract is an agreement between two or than two parties in which one is agreed to provide goods and services to other for which he will get the return in the some form. The contract is legal document and binding on both the parties. 2. Types of Contract The forms in which return for providing goods and services is delivered, are called type of contracts.
