How to prepare Construction Quotations and
Estimate?
Estimate?
Preparation of quotation for construction works depends on the
type of work to be carried out. Whenever a quotation is required by the client
for particular work, they provide the detailed specification of works to be
carried out. For example, if quote for brickwork is required by the client, the
details about type of work such as brickwork in superstructure or
sub-structure, or at particular height, the mix proportion of cement and sand,
etc. are provided. All you have to do is to estimate the unit rate for the
brickwork for the given specification of the work and provide the rate to the
client. For estimating unit rate of brickwork, the cost of materials such as
bricks, cement, sand and water, the labor required for unit work done, cost /
rent of tools and equipment, contractor’s profit, contingencies etc. need to be
calculated and summed up.

Thus to estimate the
cost of unit quantity of particular work, the cost of materials, tools,
equipment, labor, transportation, profit, contingencies etc. shall be
considered for the calculation.
