The document provides an example to calculate the quantities and costs of brickwork and plastering for a wall that is 4m long, 3m high and 30cm thick. It determines that the quantity of brickwork is 3.6 cubic meters at a rate of Rs. 320/cum, costing Rs. 1152. The quantity of plastering is 24 square meters at a rate of Rs. 8.50/sqm, costing Rs. 204. The total cost of the brickwork and plastering is Rs. 1356.

2. Estimate the quantities of brickwork and
plastering required in a wall 4m long, 3m high and
30cm thick. Calculate also the cost if the rate of
brickwork is Rs. 320.00 per cum and of plastering
is Rs 8.50 per sq.m
EXAMPLE:1

3. Length = 4m
Breadth = 30cm= 0.30m
Height = 3m
Quantity of brickwork = L x B x H
= 4 x 0.30 x 3
= 3.6m3
Cost of brickwork = Quantity x Rate
= 3.6 x (Rs 320/cum)
= Rs 1152/-

4. Quantity of Plastering = 2 x (L x H)
= 2 x (4 x 3)
= 24m2
Cost of Plastering = Quantity x Rate
= 24x (Rs 8.50/sq.m)
= Rs 204/-
Total Cost=Cost of brickwork + Cost of plastering
=1152 + 204
=Rs 1356/-
