Course Title : ESTIMATING & COSTING
Course Code : 324301
I. RATIONALE
This course aims to equip the students to apply the knowledge and skills for calculating the quantities, cost of
materials, labour and tools required for Architectural / Interior design project. It is often required to use local
material for which the rates are varying in greater extent across the country. The rate analysis justifies the rates to be
finalized for various items of works based on local market survey for budget provision. Additionally, it incorporates
the use of various software tools for precise and efficient quantity determination.
II. INDUSTRY / EMPLOYER EXPECTED OUTCOME
Calculate the Quantities and Estimated Project Cost for an Architecture / Interior Design Project.
III. COURSE LEVEL LEARNING OUTCOMES (COS)
Students will be able to achieve & demonstrate the following COs on completion of course based learning
CO1 - Apply the principles of estimating & costing for different specifications relevant to the Architectural /
Interior Design Project.
CO2 - Calculate quantities and cost for items of works relevant to the Architectural / Interior Design Project.
CO3 - Calculate rates for an item of work using the rate analysis process relevant to the Architectural / Interior
Design Project.
CO4 - Select appropriate type of tenders, contracts relevant to the Architectural / Interior Design Project.
CO5 - Use relevant software for estimating the quantities and cost of items of works relevant to the
Architectural / Interior Design Project.

Note :
Above is just a suggestive list of microprojects and assignments; faculty must prepare their own bank of
microprojects, assignments, and activities in a similar way.
The faculty must allocate judicial mix of tasks, considering the weaknesses and / strengths of the student in
acquiring the desired skills.
If a microproject is assigned, it is expected to be completed as a group activity.
SLA marks shall be awarded as per the continuous assessment record.
