4. INTRODUCTION
â– We were assigned a task to carry out a project to estimate the
cost of a building.
â– We chose a house in BahriaTown Islamabad.We did our task
thoroughly in about 14 weeks.
5. OBJECTIVE
To establish the cost of carrying out works to build the
house to maximize the profit for all the individuals
involved in the constructing project.
To evaluate other alternate decisions.
To prepare project budget.
To determine most economical processes and use of
materials. (for example when selecting material from
MRS when the clear choice was not there in the plan of
our project.)
6. Background
The stretch of plot was 40’*70’ = 2800 sft(10 Marla).
The covered area of ground floor was 1440 sft.
The house had 3 bedrooms. It had 4 bathrooms.
Also the house had 1 lounge, 1 drawing room, 1
kitchen and a car porch.
The house was a masonry structure, with PCC foundation, and
reinforced column footings.
