Estimation, Costing & Valuation Notes for UPSSSC JE | Methods, Rate Analysis, Valuation | Hindi
2.8 निर्माण अनुमान एवं मूल्यांकन
(Estimation, Costing & Valuation)
UPSSSC JE – Complete Notes
Exam Focus: यह topic UPSSSC JE / SSC JE में Direct + Conceptual + Numerical तीनों प्रकार से पूछा जाता है।
🔹 1. Estimation (अनुमान) – Introduction
Estimation वह प्रक्रिया है जिसमें किसी भी civil engineering project के लिए required quantities और approximate cost पहले से calculate की जाती है।
सरल शब्दों में – “काम शुरू होने से पहले यह पता लगाना कि कितना material लगेगा और कितना पैसा खर्च होगा” इसे estimation कहते हैं।
📌 UPSSSC JE Point: Estimation is the backbone of planning, tendering and execution.
🔹 2. Importance of Estimation (महत्व)
- Project की total cost जानने के लिए
- Government approval प्राप्त करने के लिए
- Tender prepare करने के लिए
- Material requirement जानने के लिए
- Labour & machinery planning के लिए
- Time management एवं budget control के लिए
📌 Exam Trick: अगर question आए – “Why estimation is required?” तो answer में Cost, Tender, Approval, Planning जरूर लिखें।
🔹 3. Types of Estimates (अनुमानों के प्रकार)
3.1 Preliminary / Rough Estimate
यह estimate project के initial stage में बनाया जाता है।
- Approximate cost
- Based on plinth area / cubic rate
- Administrative approval के लिए
Example: Rough cost of school building = Area × Plinth area rate
3.2 Detailed Estimate
यह सबसे important estimate होता है।
- Item-wise quantities
- Detailed drawings के आधार पर
- Technical sanction के लिए
📌 UPSSSC JE Favourite Line: Detailed estimate is prepared after complete drawings and specifications.
3.3 Revised Estimate
जब original estimate से cost 5–10% से ज्यादा बढ़ जाए, तब revised estimate बनता है।
3.4 Supplementary Estimate
जब original work के साथ additional work शामिल करना हो।
3.5 Annual Repair & Maintenance Estimate
- White washing
- Painting
- Minor repairs
🔹 4. Methods of Estimation (अनुमान की विधियाँ)
Estimation methods का उपयोग quantities निकालने के लिए किया जाता है।
4.1 Long Wall – Short Wall Method
- Most commonly used method
- Walls classified as Long and Short
- Length varies at each layer
Formula:
Long wall length = Centre to centre length + half breadth
Short wall length = Centre to centre length – half breadth
📌 Exam Note: UPSSSC JE में अक्सर पूछा जाता है – “Which method is most accurate?” 👉 Answer: Long wall – Short wall method
4.2 Centre Line Method
इस method में सभी walls की centre line length ली जाती है।
- Fast method
- Symmetrical buildings के लिए suitable
- Calculation easy
📌 Difference पूछे जाने पर: Centre line method – Fast Long wall method – More accurate
✔ Estimation Introduction ✔ Importance ✔ Types of Estimates ✔ Methods of Estimation (Start) 👉 Next: PART–2 • Detailed Long wall vs Centre line (Numerical) • Plinth area method • Cubical content method
2.8 Construction Estimation, Costing & Valuation
PART–2 : Methods of Estimation (Detailed)
Exam Focus: PART–2 से UPSSSC JE में Direct MCQ + Numerical पूछे जाते हैं।
🔹 1. Long Wall – Short Wall Method
यह method सबसे accurate माना जाता है और government works में widely used है।
🔸 Principle
- Walls को Long wall और Short wall में divide किया जाता है
- हर layer (foundation, plinth, superstructure) में length बदलती है
🔸 Formula
Long Wall Length = C/C length + ½ breadth
Short Wall Length = C/C length – ½ breadth
🔸 Steps
- Centre to centre length find करें
- Foundation breadth determine करें
- Each layer के लिए length calculate करें
- Quantity = Length × Breadth × Depth
📌 UPSSSC JE Note: Most accurate method = Long wall – Short wall
🔹 2. Centre Line Method
इस method में सभी walls की centre line length ली जाती है।
🔸 Principle
- Centre line length constant रहती है
- Quantity = Total C/L × Breadth × Depth
🔸 Suitability
- Symmetrical buildings
- Same wall thickness
📌 Exam Point: Centre line method is fast but less accurate
🔹 3. Comparison (Very Important for MCQ)
| Point | Long Wall Method | Centre Line Method |
| Accuracy | High | Moderate |
| Speed | Slow | Fast |
| Complex Buildings | Suitable | Not suitable |
| Exam Preference | Very High | High |
🔹 4. Plinth Area Method
यह method Preliminary / Rough Estimate के लिए use होती है।
🔸 Formula
Cost = Plinth Area × Plinth Area Rate
🔸 Plinth Area includes
- Wall thickness
- Rooms, verandah
- Staircase
🔸 Excludes
- Courtyard
- Open terrace
📌 MCQ: Plinth area method is used for Administrative approval
🔹 5. Cubical Content Method
यह method plinth area method से ज्यादा accurate होती है।
🔸 Formula
Cubic Content = Plinth Area × Height
🔸 Uses
- Multi-storey buildings
- Height variation projects
📌 Exam Trick: Cubical content method > Plinth area method (accuracy wise)
✔ Long wall – Short wall (Detail) ✔ Centre line method ✔ Comparison table ✔ Plinth area method ✔ Cubical content method 👉 Next: PART–3 • Detailed Estimate preparation • BOQ (Bill of Quantities) • Measurement rules (IS 1200)

- Sand = (2/7) × 1.54 = 0.44 m³
- Aggregate = (4/7) × 1.54 = 0.88 m³
🔸 Labour
- Mason = 0.5
- Helper = 2–3
📌 PYQ: Dry volume factor for concrete = 1.54
