Estimating and Costing 1. __________ is prepared on the basis of plinth area of building, the rate being deducted from the cost of similar building having similar specification, heights and construction, in the locality. Cube Rate Estimate Supplementary Estimate Maintenance Estimate Plinth Area Estimate 2. Pick up the item of work not included in the plinth area estimate Room area Courtyard area Wall thickness W.C. area 3. Pick up the correct statement from the following: All the above The estimated value of the work excluding the amount for contingencies, work charged establishment, tool and plants, is called work value The actual expenditure involved to complete a work including incidental, establishment and travelling charges, is called actual cost The formal acceptance by the administrative department for incurring an expenditure on the work, is called administrative approval 4. The main factor to be considered while preparing a detailed estimate is All the above Transportation of materials Availability of materials Quantity of the materials 5. The damp proof course (D.P.C.) is measured in cub.m sq.m meters None of these 6. The most reliable estimate is Preliminary estimate Plinth area estimate Cubical content estimate Detailed estimate 7. The area is measured correct to the nearest 0.02 sq.m 0.04 sq.m 0.01 sq.m 0.03 sq.m 8. The measurement is not made in square metres in case of R.C. Chhajja D.P.C. (Damp proof course) Concrete Jeffries Form works 9. According to ISI method of measurement, the order of the sequence is Length, breadth, height None of these. Height, length, breadth Breadth, length, height 10. The diameter of a domestic sewer pipe laid at gradient 1 in 100 is recommended 200 mm 175 mm 100 mm 150 mm 11. In this method approx. total length of walls is found in running metre and this total length multiplied by the rate per running metre of wall gives a fairly accurate cost. Annual repair Item rate estimate Cubical content estimate Approximate quantity method estimate 12. Pick up the correct statement from the following: The gully trap collects waste water from the kitchen, sink, wash basins, etc. The gully trap disconnects the sullage drain from the main drainage system In a gully trap, a water seal of 6 to 7.5 cm is provided The grating provided over gully traps is 23 cm square 13. The plinth area of a building not includes Area of the walls at the floor level Area of cantilevered porch Internal shaft for sanitary installations up to 2 sq m. in area Lift and wall including landing 14. ________________is the amount provided in the estimate and bill of quantities for some specialised work to be done by a specialised firm; whose details are not known at the time of preparing estimate. Building cost index Capital cost Prime cost Provisional sum 15. A portion of an embankment having a uniform up-gradient 1 in 500 is circular with radius 1000 mof the centre line. It subtends 180° at the centre. If the height of the bank is 1 m at the lower end,and side slopes 2:1, the earth work involved. 26000 m3 27500 m3 27000 m3 26500 m3 16. The excavation exceeding 1.5 m in width and 10 sq.m in plan area with a depth not exceeding 30cm, is termed as Excavation Surface excavation Cutting Surface dressing 17. Pick up the incorrect statement from the following Weights are measured to the nearest 0.001 tonnes Areas are measured to the nearest 0.01 sq.m Cubic contents are measured to the nearest 0.1 cm m Dimensions are measured to the nearest 0.01 m 18. Pick up the incorrect statement from the following The unit of lead is 50 m for a distance upto 500 m Lead is the average horizontal straight distance between the borrow pit and the place of spreading soil The unit of lead is 1 km where the lead exceeds 2 km The lead is calculated for each block of the excavated area 19. While estimating a reinforced cement structure, the omitted cover of concrete is assumed In thin slabs, 12 mm minimum or diameter of the bar whichever is more At the end of reinforcing bar, not less than 25 mm or twice the diameter of the bar For reinforcing longitudinal bar in a beam 25 mm minimum or diameter of the largest bar which is more All the above 20. The brickwork is measured in sq meter, in case of Honey comb brick work Half brick walls or the partition all of the above Brick flat soling 21. The brick work is not measured in cu m in case of Reinforced brick work Half brick wall Brick work in arches One or more than one brick wall 22. To make out an estimate for a work the following data are necessary-Drawing, Specification and ___________ Transportation materials labours rates 23. The rate of an item of work depends on Specifications of works Specifications of materials Proportion of mortar All the above 24. _______________ estimate is a detailed estimate and is prepared to maintain the structure or work in proper order and safe condition. Item rate estimate Maintenance estimate Supplementary and revised estimate Revised estimate 25. The volume is measured correct to the nearest 0.01 cum 0.02 cum 0.04 cum 0.03 cum 1 out of 5 Feel free to shareWhatsAppTwitterTelegramFacebookLinkedInPinterest
