1.PREFACE

It is my great pleasure to release the Schedule of Rates – 2025 for Northern Province.

The objective of this publication is to enhance the transparency and consistency among the
stakeholders of construction industry in Northern Province by publishing a compiled Schedule
of Rates for the year 2025 comprising rates for works related to Buildings, Irrigation and
Roads construction and rates for quality control laboratories for the Northern Province.

In this exercise it is intended to harmonize the rates to the extent possible with the contribution
of three major technical provincial departments namely Buildings Department, Irrigation
Department and Road Development Department by adopting similar approach in deciding
certain basic norms.

I strongly believe that this publication would not only serve as a guideline for non-technical
departments to compare their rates while preparing the estimates, but also would iron-out
certain concerns with regard to difference in rates among the institutions for similar items. In
addition, it would also help the contractors to verify the practicality of their rates to avoid
quoting unduly low rates and struggling to meet the quality requirements during execution.
Therefore, it is anticipated that this publication would contribute to create a win-win situation
between contractors and implementing agencies in assuring quality and value for money and
intern minimize the disputes.

I wish to express my appreciation and gratitude to Deputy Chief Secretary – Engineering

Services, Provincial Directors of Buildings Department, Road Development Department,
Irrigation Department and their subordinates who have timely contributed at different levels
to make this publication as an effective tool for estimation for the construction industry in
Northern Province.

Any suggestions and opinions are appreciated for further improvement and enrichment for the
future publications.

I.Ilaangovan
Chief Secretary
Northern Province.

2.BACKGROUND

In Northern Province there are three technical departments namely Buildings Department,
Irrigation Department and Road Development Department entrusted with the task of
implementing works related to their respective fields in accordance with generally accepted
professional standards and practices and by observing sound management practices, and
employing appropriate technology and safe and effective equipment, machinery, materials and
methods.
One of the key activities of the departments is to prepare unit rates for works items in
accordance with the specification of works, rate analysis and prevailing rates of machinery,
materials and man power.
In order to do so Buildings Department adopts respective buildings related specifications
published by the CIDA and rate analysis (Buildings Schedule Rates (BSR) of Provincial
Buildings Department. Likewise, Irrigation Department adopts respective Irrigation related
specifications published by the CIDA and rate analysis (Irrigation Schedule Rates (ISR) based
on Data for Costing published by the Central Irrigation Department. Similarly, Road
Development Department adopts respective Road related specification published by the CIDA
and rate analysis (Highway Schedule Rates (HSR) published by the Road Development
Authority.
Since it is found to be necessary to adopt respective rates prepared by each department for
their activities in the context of employing appropriate technology and safe and effective
equipment, machinery, materials and methods to suit their respective specifications, it is
justifiable to have independent rates with acceptable variation in similar items.
Even though the departments are permitted to adopt their rates as explained above, it was
strongly felt that similar approach is required in deciding certain basic norms. Hence it has
been decided to involve all three technical departments to work together with the assistance
of Deputy Chief Secretary – Engineering Service to harmonize the rates to the extent possible
and publish a compiled Schedule of Rates comprising rates for Buildings related constructions,
Irrigation related constructions, Road related construction and rates for quality control
laboratories for the Northern Province.
This publication could be used as a guideline by other non-technical departments and
contractors to compare their rates while preparing the estimates. But it is their responsibility
to determine their rates in accordance with the proposed specification and the ground condition
of the work site.
While the Provincial Departments of Buildings, Irrigation, Road Development, Engineering
Services and Northern Provincial Council strives to make the information on this guidebook as
timely and accurate as possible, the departments make no claims, promises, or guarantees about
the accuracy, completeness, or adequacy of the contents of this guidebook, and expressly
disclaims liability for errors and omissions in the contents of this guidebook.
