RATE ANALYSIS OF BRICKWORK

Assuming:-

Volume of brickwork = 1m³

Size of brick—>19x9x9 cm

Thickness of mortar = 10mm (1cm)

Quantity of Bricks:-

No. of bricks = Volume of brickwork/ volume of 1 brick with mortar

Volume of 1 Brick with mortar = 0.20×0.10×0.10=0.002 m³

∴ No. of bricks = 1/0.002 = 500 No’s

Quantity of cement:-

Volume of bricks= (0.19×0.09×0.09) x 500 = 0.001539 x 500 = 0.7695 m³

Quantity of mortar = Quantity of brickwork – Volume of bricks

Quantity of mortar = 1 – 0.7695 = 0.2305 m³

Mix Ratio –> 1:6

Dry volume of mortar = Wet volume x 1.33

Dry Volume = 0.2305 m³x 1.33 = 0.3066 m³

Quantity of Cement = {(Dry Volume of mortar x Cement ratio) / (Sum of the ratio)}

∴Quantity of cement = (0.3066 x 1) /(1+6)=0.0438 m³

Density of Cement = 1440 kg/m³

∴ Weight of Cement = 1440 x 0.0438 = 63.072Kg

1 bag of cement contains 50 kg of cement

∴ Number of bags = 63.072 Kg / 50 kg = 1.261 No’s

Quantity of Sand:-

Cement : Sand :: 1:6

Quantity of Sand = Quantity of Cement x 6

∴ Quantity of Sand = 0.0438m³x6= 0.2628 m³

1 m³=35.3147 Cubic Feet (CFT)

∴ Quantity of sand = 0.2628 x 35.3147 = 9.280 CFT

Density of sand = 1920 kg/m³

∴ Weight of the sand= 0.2628 x 1920= 504.576 kg =>0.504 tonnes

Material Cost:-

Labour Cost:-

Area=volume/thickness = 1m³/0.20m = 5m²

Summary:-

Cost of material = Rs. 3271.13

Cost of labours = Rs. 3237.5

Sum of labour & material cost= Rs. 6508.63

Add:-

1.Water charge @ 1.5% = (1.5/100)x6508.63 = Rs. 97.629

2.Contractor’s profit @15 % = (15/100)x6508.63= Rs. 976.294

Total cost = 97.532 + 975.323+6502.15 = Rs. 7582.553

So, Cost of brickwork may vary from Rs. 6000 to 8500 based on location
