Abstract:
Construction project are required to be completed within allocated budget and time. Therefore
exact estimation is required. In any construction project time, cost and quality are considered as
main objectives. If a project is delayed then more financing will be required hence time and cost
are interrelated.
Estimation is done through engineering and architectural drawings. Building construction
estimating is the determination of practical development expenses of any given task. It is
finished with the assistance of working drawings.
Whereas scheduling is part of project planning. It is the most critical go in arranging procedure
of the development undertaking.
This project is on the scheduling of a construction building. The project building site is New
Secretariat Block which is being under construction since 2007 and it is expected that this
building will complete in 2013.
The basic purpose behind the construction of new secretariat block is to accommodate all the
scattered ministries which were early accommodated in rented offices. When this building will
come in functional mode, this will surely save the finance of the government which now a days
is being utilized in rents of ministries offices. The New Secretariat Block located on Constitution
Avenue, Islamabad, is a 9 storied building with two basements. The total cost of the project was
Rs.127,020,3220 according to the estimate and schedule we made, and it also includes the cost
of electrical work and plumbing work along with 15% overhead charges and 10% contractor’s
bonus.
