 You have calculated the Direct Costs of the work items in

the BOQ, as follows:

Direct Costs (LE)

Item
Rate Qty Total
Excavation 10 10,000 100,000
Plain Concrete 350 200 70,000
Reinforced Concrete 1,000 900 900,000
Finishing Works 20 36,500 730,000
Total 1,800,000

 Now that you have calculated the Indirect Costs (= LE

180,000) and the Mark-Up (= 15% of the Direct and Indirect
Costs), complete the following BOQ.

First calculate the % of the Indirect Costs / Direct Costs

Direct Costs + Indirect Costs

Add the Indirect Costs as a percentage to each item of work.

Indirect Costs = Direct Costs X 10%
