HOW TO CALCULATE THE QUANTITY OF SHUTTERING ?

Suppose we have a covered area is 5000 square feet and over there we need to construct the R.C.C slab. So we need to calculate the quantity to tell the contractor.

1. To calculate the quantity of Shuttering Plywood, Nails, Shuttering oil, clamps etc.?

GIVEN DATA:

Covered Area = 5,000 square foot.

1. PLYWOOD: 12 MM THICK (8′ X 4′)

= Covered area x Thumb rule

= 5000 sft x 0.02

= 100 No’s

2. WOODEN BATTENS : (3” X 3”)

= Covered area x Thumb rule

=5000 sft x 0.4

= 2000 rft

3. BEAM BOTTOM PLATES: (1.5” THICK)

= Covered area x Thumb rule

= 5000 x 0.24

= 1200 rft

4. WOODEN BALLIES:

For Slab = Covered area x thumb rule

= 5000 x 0.16

= 800 No’s

For Beam = Beam bottom plate running feet x thumb rule

= 1200 x 0.5

= 600 nos

5. MS CLAMPS:

= Covered area x thumb rule

= 5000 x 0.08

= 400 No’s

6. SHUTTERING OIL:

= Covered Area x thumb rule

= 5000 x 0.006

= 30 litters

7. Nails

=5000 x 0.02

= 100 kg
