You forgot to multiply the length. So that's 1.578*1.00*4 + 0.617*(2*(0.2+0.6))*7 = 13.22kg But still, I'm confused as to how the result of 14.1kg was calculated @CEPQS Any help sir?
Hi man, I was wondering if you know when your next courses are running? Also, do you have a tenplate for the excel document you use in the "Introduction to Cost Estimation Methods in Construction" video? Makes things so much easier for me to understand looking at your layout. Thanks Niall.
@@CEPQS Sounds great. I look forward to it. Do you have a template of the excel file you used in this video? I think it looks and works great and would be really appreciative if you do have one and I could use it?
Hello sir , can you explain us what does provisional sum means, bcz in some boq there is item unit rate says provisional sum , what does it mean and what is most common works consider with unit provisional sum. Thanks in advance
Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏. Yeah sure, provisional sun is one of the most important things that we should discuss on CEP 👍. I’ll do it for you
Hello. Your videos are interesting and useful. sorry but I can`t understand why you calculate steel. Is it previous calculation? Is there calculation in a project? Its interesting for me because in Ukraine we have all this steel in a project dividing to contraction elements
Hello Hanna, and thank you for reaching out. Regarding steel reinforcement calculations there 2 stages of calculating. The first one is done at the time of bidding or estimating the cost and it will be approximate using only the information provided in the tender documents. The second stage is when executing the work, and in this stage you will have the steel reinforcement shop drawings, out of which you can establish BBS (bar bending schedule) and from the BBS you calculate the exact steel quantity and diameters to order and fix at site. In both stages you will need to calculate element wise as you stated. So in general you need to know the steel quantity in each element in the project, but the accuracy of calculation will depend on whether or not you have a BBS. Hope this clarifies your concern 👍
I am not able to get complete knowledge from the video you posted regarding steel so Please post as a video how to find steel quantity for each element in civil work.
While these two terms have been mixed by the owner(client) very often, Cost Estimate is more used by the contractors as they deal with more detailed tender drawings and Cost Plan is more used by the Consulting Quantity Surveyors where they work from various design stages such as feasibility study, schematic design, design development. I can only speak for the situation here in North America though🤣
Thank You so much for such knowledgeable content . Sir how for 1st row how you bought 14.10 kg? If we consider the beams for the complete slab there must be lapping and bends, in that case the weight of the steel will increase , Please Sir can you clear my doubt
I will give a shot if I may. First the required rebar cover for concrete beam is usually 30mm minimum (or the bar diameter size). So you just remember the number to be deducted is 0.03 m all the way around. You have longitude bars 4 EA (2 top and 2 bottom) running for 1 M - 0.03 X 2 ends = 0.94 M, total length 4 x 0.94 = 3.76 M. The mass is 1.57 KG/M for 16mm bar. So the first weight for continuous bars are 3.76 x 1.57 = 5.9 KG. Next, stirrups are wrapping around, so depth and width of the beam need to used (0.6 + 0.2) x 2 for perimeter but you need to deduct rebar cover on all directions 0.03 x 4, so the stirrup is (0.6+0.2) x 2-0.03*4= 1.48 M. You have 7 stirrups and the mass is 0.785 kg/m, so the weight for stirrup is 7 x 1.48 x 0.785 = 8.14 KG. Total weight is 5.9+8.14 = 14.04. Close to he had. Just my two cents. In North America, we refer to the bars he used as 10M and 15M bars 😃
@@adamding I really appreciate your effort to explain this, But the this in my min is consider a Beam B1 200*600mm with 4 bar 1mm (2 top+ 2 bottom) with these we have some extra support at end suppot and middle support (2 bar 16mm) + we have 2 extra bottom (12mm curtail bar) in such case how we have to estimate the steel by thumb rule?
@@ismailhilalhilal9184 We use accessories like chairs and bolsters here for bar support. But to be honest, if the purpose was to derive kg/m3 rule of thumb number, I would NOT do any dimension deduction for rebar cover. My number would have been a bit over 15 kg/m3 to be enough, because you will use it for future cost planning.
Correct. My calculations are actually neglecting the cover. Cover should be calculated for better accuracy ofc. but since we are not considering the overlaps and other small steel details in the qty, then i believe it is better to calculate that way to get a safer qty lets say. and thank you for the addition. 👍👍
Seems to me that he is calculating the formwork contact area. WA could mean whole area and the math of WA = 2 x L X D (2 vertical sides of beam) + L X B (bottom side of beam). BA could mean bottom area, BA = L X B for bottom side only. Correct me if I wrong😁
Hello my name is Olexsandr Salnykov, You call me Alex, I`m from Ukraine if be more clearly from Odesa City - architecture "capital" of Ukraine... I `ve came acrossed on your youtube channel , I will very short - I am estimator, which was doing preparing of construction estimate diferent difficult, and right now I am looking for the way for got experiences in the USA as estimator - remotely, and I can suggest you my help ,I can do estimates without paying.. I can read any engineering plans and drafts.. Have a good day , thank`s for your time!
Hello Alex and thank you for reaching out. I would suggest offering such services on various online freelancing platforms. I’m sure there will be huge international demand for that. I wish you all the best 👍🙏
I preparing last semister of 1st year in fuculty eng depart; civil engineering and that is important to prepar more courses may i get your email adress sir
Best estimation content/channel on RUclips brother!
Thanks a lot for your kind support 🙏. Wish you all the best 🙂
Glad you are back bro! 😃
Thank you 🙏😊. Takes a lot of efforts man 😃
How to purchase course I am an Indian how to pay money
Best teaching method ever seen
Love you ❤
Thanks a lot 😊
hello can you please explain what is WA and BA and also how did you calculate Kg for steel. Thank you
Thanks for sharing. While the "rule-of-thumb" KG/M3 really depends on the design detail, it is a good approach to derive and track these numbers😊
Thank you for the valuable feedback 🙂. I’m happy you enjoyed the video, and will try to make a more detailed one on the subject 🙏👍
thanks for your very informative video.
Thank you 🙏 for the support.
Thanks for the video and can u do some fitout cost estimate like gypsum work, tiling works and painting
Thankyou for this videos.
Appreciate your watching time and support 🙏
شكرا على مشاركة الفيديو
Thanks a lot 🙏
We need more trick and tips about qs work relate.
We need Variation practical session
Alright 👍 let me find some documents on which i can explain. Thank you for the request.
sir, need Me too
sorry is the steel wieght above is correct? 2*1.58+2*1.58+7*.617=10kg can't get it
When steel weight is calculated then divided by the concrete volume it gives you the steel ratio kg/m3.
You forgot to multiply the length. So that's
1.578*1.00*4 + 0.617*(2*(0.2+0.6))*7 = 13.22kg
But still, I'm confused as to how the result of 14.1kg was calculated
@CEPQS Any help sir?

Your cost estimation and cost controlling course are available at udemy or not?
I want buy the course
Pls make one video for material reconciliation sir
Cost control is one of my best areas of interest. Will try that 👍
Sir waiting for the detailed video of this topic
Ok sure. It will come as a part of the next series

No worries I’ll do more videos explaining more of that sheet 👍. So I’ll focus on the steel part for you as well 🙂
Hi brother. Can you please recommend courses on Estimation and costing ?
Yes 😃 become a CCP. Watch this video.
ruclips.net/video/Jb6CtC_1ZVs/видео.html
There is certificate if i take your courses?
yes
Please what is the difference between cost Estimate and cost plan
While these two terms have been mixed by the owner(client) very often, Cost Estimate is more used by the contractors as they deal with more detailed tender drawings and Cost Plan is more used by the Consulting Quantity Surveyors where they work from various design stages such as feasibility study, schematic design, design development.

Pls upload Videos continually don't take gap each video
Sure thing 👍. I’ll try to keep consistency
you hide the formula part by your video 😥😢
