CMA453 2
Example 1 (by hand)
Excavation pit to receive column bases starting from reduced level maximum
depth not exc. 2.00m (by hand).
Data: unskilled labour RM40.00/day
TOTAL COST: Labour Cost + Profit & O/H
Answer;
Labour rates for excavate
= 4.50hr/m3 x RM40.00/8hr = 22.50/m3
Add: Planting & strutting (say 3.00/m3) = 3.00/m3
= 25.50/m3
Add: 15% profit & O/H = 3.83
= 29.33/m3
CMA453 3
Example 2 (by own machine)
Excavate oversite to reduce level maximum depth not exceeding 1.00 meter (by
machine). ____ m3
Data:
Excavator (1/2m3 bucket)
Initial cost: RM150, 000.00
Useful life: 5 years
Interest rate: 10%
Scrap value at end of life: RM8, 000.00
Diesel: 6 litre per hour @ RM1.70/litre
Lubrication oil: 14 litre per week @ RM20.00/ litre
Operator: RM50.00/day
Assume excavator works only 200 days per year
Total Cost: Capital Cost + Operating Cost + Profit & O/H
CMA453 4
Answer for Example 2 (by own machine);
A.Capital Cost
Excavator (1/2 m3 bucket) output 12m3/hr
Initial cost = RM150, 000.00
Interest 10% p.a @5 years = RM75, 000.00
Insurance % p.a @ 5 years = 0
Repair + maintenance (10%) = RM15,000.00
Transport to from site (5%) = RM7,500.00
RM247, 500.00
Less: scrap value = RM - 8, 000.00
RM239, 500.00
Capital cost per year = RM239, 500.00/5year
= RM47, 900.00/year
Assume excavator works only 200 days per year (1600hrs)
Capital cost of excavator per hour = RM47, 900.00
200day x 8hr
= RM29.94/hour.
CMA453 5
B.Operating Cost
i. cost of driver/operator = RM50.00/day
ii. cost of diesel
(6 Litre/hr @ 8hrs @ RM1.70/litre) = RM81.60/day
iii. cost of lubrication oil
(14 Litre/week ÷ 7 days x RM20.00/lit) = RM40.00/day
RM171.60/day
Operating cost per hour = RM171.60/8hrs
= RM21.45/hr
Excavator (1/2 m3 bucket) output 12m3/hr
Total cost of 1/2m3 excavators per hour
RM29.94 + RM21.45 = RM51.39/hr
Therefore, cost of excavating per m3
RM51.39hr ÷ 12m3/hr = RM4.28/m3
C. Profit & OH
Add: 15% profit & overhead
(15% x RM4.28/m3) = RM0.64/m3
Total cost of excavation per m3 = RM4.92/m3
CMA453 6
Example 3 (by rental) p.g 125
Excavate trench to receive foundations starting from reduced level
maximum depth not exceeding 1.00 meter. ____ m3
Data:
Excavator (3/8m3 bucket)
Rental of excavator (including transportation to site): RM300/day
Operator : RM50.00/day
Diesel : 5 litres per hour @ RM1.70/litre
Lubrication oil : 12 litre per week @ RM20.00/litre
Operator : RM60.00/day
Total Cost: Capital Cost + Operating Cost + Profit & O/H
CMA453 7
Answer for Example 3 (by rental):
a. Rental
Rental of excavator per hour
RM300.00/8hrs = RM37.50/hr
b. Operating cost
i. Operator = RM50.00/day
ii. Cost of diesel
(5 Litre/hr x 8hrs x RM1.70/litre) = RM68.00/day
iii. Cost of lubrication oil
(12 Litre/week x RM20.00/litre) = RM34.29/day
7 days
Operating cost per day 152.29/day
Operating cost per hour 152.29/8hrs = RM19.04/hr
RM56.54/hr
Excavator (3/8m3 bucket) output 9m3/hr
Total cost of 3/8m3 excavator per hour = RM56.54/hr
Therefore, cost of excavating per m3
RM56.54/hr ÷ 9m3 = RM6.28/m3
c. Profit & OH
Add: 15% profit & overhead = RM0.94/m3
Total cost of excavation per m3 = RM7.22/m3
CMA453 8
Example 4
Remove excavated material 50.00 meter distance ---- m3 (by hand).
Data:
Unskilled labour = RM40.00/day
Labour constant = 1.50hour/m3
Bulking factor = ordinary earth 25%
A. Labour
Unskilled labour
1.50hr/m3 x RM40.00/8hr = RM7.50/m3
Add: bulking factor 25% = RM1.88/m3
RM9.38/m3
B. Profit & overhead
Add: 15% = RM1.41
Total cost for 1m3 = RM10.79/m3
CMA453 9
Example 5 p.g. 131
Filling to make up levels average 100mm thick with hardcore of clean hard
stones obtained off site –m2
Data:
Broken bricks : RM 35.00/m3 delivered to site
Vibrator (rent) including oil : RM 60.00/day
Unskilled labour : RM 40.00/day
Answer Example 5
A. Material RM
i. 100mm thick hardcore/m2
RM35.00/m3 x 0.1m = 3.50/m2
ii. 25% consolidation and waste = 0.88
iii. Unskilled (spreading & consolidating)
= 0.15hr/m2 x RM40.00/8hrs = 0.75
iv. Unskilled (vibrating) RM40.00 ÷ 8hr = 5.00
v. Rental of vibrator RM60.00 ÷ 8hr = 7.50
12.50
Vibrator output (15m2/hr) = RM12.50 / 15m2 = 0.83
= 5.96
Add:
15% profit & overhead = 0.89
= RM 6.85/m2
