AIM: To learn to how to prepare the tentative cost estimates of building construction.
definitions:
Tentative cost estimation refers to the approximation of the cost of a program, project, or
operation. The cost estimate is the product of the cost estimating process. The cost estimate has a
single total value and may have identifiable component values.
Tentative cost estimate of the building construction be estimated through

i. cost per square meter
ii. Bill of quantities
i. Cost Per Square Meter

Architect's and Quantity surveyors Registration board (AQRB) has released the table with the
rate per square meter for different buildings

Also according to National Housing Corporation (NHC), Business year article and real estate
(page 93-96) there is cost estimation for housing both affordable, medium and higher earnings.
CATEGORY RATE PER M2
Affordable House 400,000 - 500,000
Medium 550,000 - 750,000
Higher Earners Above 1,000,000
Estimation cost can be done at different parts of the building

a) Foundation 10% - 15% = 12.5 %
b) Structure/ walling 15% - 20% = 17.5%
c) Roofing 15% - 25% = 20%
d) Finishing 45% - 50% = 50%
TOTAL 100%
ii. Bill of Quantities

Bill of quantities refers to a document used in tendering in the construction industry in
which materials, parts, and labor (and their costs) are itemized. It also (ideally) details the terms
and conditions of the construction or repair contract and itemizes all work to enable a contractor
to price the work for which he or she is bidding. Bills of quantities are prepared by quantity
surveyors and building estimators.
They are prepared by a “taking off” in which the cost of a building or other structure is
estimated from measurements in the Architects, Structural Engineers, and other building
consultants drawings. These are used to create a cost estimate such as in regard to the square area
in meters of walls and roofs, the numbers of doors and windows, and systems as heating,
plumbing and electrics.
Also the cost estimation can be conducted by knowing the price of the materials at the market
places.
