There are endless thumb rule used in Construction Industry , I am stating few of them listed below : -

Concrete : 0.038 cum per sq. ft. of plan area. (+/- 5%)

Steel : 4.50 to 5.00 Kg per sq. ft.

Shuttering : 2.40 to 2.50 times the plan area of slab (this includes col./beams/sides etc)

Brick Work : 0.015 cum per sq. ft. of plan area.

Approximately 0.25 cubic metres of mortar and 500 bricks are required for 1 cubic metre of brickwork

Concrete: 0.5A Cum for Commercial Bldg.

0.2A Cum for Residential Bldg.

Where, A= Total Built Up Area.(i.e. Plinth Area xNo. of Floor)

Steel: 4.5-4.75 kg per Sqft of Built up Area for Residential Building

5.0-5.5 kg per Sqft of Built up area for Commercial Building.

Formwork: (1). Shuttering = 6 times the quantity of concreting.(or2.4 times the plinth area)

(a) No of12 mm Ply (2.44mx1.22m)=0.22 times of shuttering ( or, 0.4A)

(b)Batten(75mmx40mm)=19.82X No. of Ply Sheets(it gives batten in RM)

(c)Nails=0.22x total area of shuttering.(unit-kg) Practically, 75 gm nails and 75 gm binding wire + nut-bolts are consumed per sqm of shuttering

(d)Shuttering Oil=0.065x total area of shuttering(unit-Lt)

Electrical cost = Rs 133/sft

Plumbing cost = Rs 126/sft

Fire fighting cost = Rs 40/sft

External development = Rs 94.5/sft

 Labour Productivity:

Brick Work - 1 mason + 1Labour = 1.25 cm

Wall Plastering - 1 mason +1 Labour = 10 Sqm

Ceiling Plastering - 1 mason + 1Labour = 8 Sqm

External Plastering - 1 mason + 1 Labour = 8 Sqm

Carpenter - 1 Skilled + 1 Un skilled = 4 Sqm

Bar bender - 1 Skilled + 1 Un skilled = 200 Kg

Tile work - 1 Mason + 1Labour = 10 Sqm

Painter - Skilled -OBD 600 Sft

Emulsion 800 Sft

CO-EFFICIENT FOR PAINTING:

Partly panelled and glazed doors = 0.80 times the door or window area.

Collapsible gates = 1.50

Corrugated sheeted steel doors = 1.25

Rolling shutters = 1.10

Expanded metal hard drawn steel = 1.00

Fencing and gates, brace, rails = 1.00

Flush doors = 1.20

Partly panelled doors = 1.00

Fully glazed doors = 0.80

Fully louvered = 1.80

 If its only for slab ,then a 5″ slab almost costs roughly Rs.220/- per sq. Feet all inclusive of Steel, Rcc, Shuttering etc.

If u are asking for residential building complete in all respects…than it costs u around Rs. 1200/- per sq. Feet. Civil Structure Work – Rs. 750 per sqft and for Finishing Work – Rs. 450 per sqft.

(a) Painting - Rs 12 - 17 per sqft (two layers of putty + two layers of coat) including taxes

(b) Flooring - Marble is Rs 80 per sqft (depends on the type of marble may be - but this is what it is costing us). Granite and bathroom tiles 15 - 20 Rs per sqft (we provide all material such as cement, sand etc).

(c) Electrical - You are better off buying the materials for them. A rough guide is Rs 50 - 100 per sqft for materials and Rs 12 - 20 per sqft for labor.

 Thumb rule for concrete work

The concrete ingredients will be vary based on the mix ratio,

For Example, 

If the Plinth area is 100 Sq.ft (10 x 10) and the required concrete volume is 100 x 0.04 = 4 Cum with M5 mix ratio means

Now from the below table which is for 1 m3

Required Concrete ingredients for 4 m3 of M5 is

Cement – 2.77 x 4 = 11.08 bags

 Sand – 0.48 x 4 = 1.92 cum

Coarse aggregate = 0.96 x 4 =  3.84 cum

Thumb Rule of Concrete material requirement

Grade   Ratio     Cement in Bags       Sand in Cum       Coarse Aggregates in Cum

M5         01:05:10               2.77                   0.48                                     0.96

M7.5      01:04:08               3.41                   0.047                                      0.95

M10       01:03:06               4.44                   0.46                                       0.92

M15       01:02:04               6.34                     0.44                                       0.88

M20       01:05.5                 8.06                      0.42                                     0.84                                        

M25       01:01:02               11.09                 0.39                                      0.77

Thumb rule for Plastering Work

For plastering, the material quantity will vary based on the different mix ratio like concrete and the thumb rule for plastering work has listed below.

Type of Plastering            Mix ratio              Thickness in mm               Cement Bags/Sqm           Sand  Cum/Sqm

Inner Plastering              1:3                               15                                            0.16                             0.017

External Plastering           1:4                                20                                            0.17                            0.024

Rough Plastering              1:5                               16                                              0.11                            0.020

Ceiling Plastering              1:2                               12                                               0.17

Thumb rule for Brick Work
