Assume that the work carried out (Backfilling, compaction etc.

) per day is 200m3

1. MATERIAL COST

1 Lorry (5.73m3) = RM 60.00

1 m3; RM 60.00 / 5.73 = 10.47
+ 20% Compaction = 2.09
Cost of earth 1 m3 = 12.56

2. MACHINERY AND LABOUR

Rental
1 bulldozer = 250.00 /day
1 Grader = 240.00 /day
1 Roller = 200.00 /day
1 Supervisor x 60.00 = 60.00 /day
3 Labourers x 50.00 = 150.00 /day
------------
900.00 /day
Cost 1 m3 = 900.00/200 m3 = 4.50 / m3

Rate per m3; = 12.56 + 4.50 = 17.06

+ 20% overhead + Profit = 3.41

Rate per m3 earth = RM 20.47

 DETAILS

1. Quantity of earth for filling 12,000 m3

2. Distance of ‘borrow pit’ to site 18 KM
3. Number of lorries 7 lorries
4. Working hours per day 8 hours
5. Working days per week 6 days

1. Capacity for 1 lorry = 5.73 m3

2. Time taken for 1 trip x 2.5 min./km = 2.5 x (18+18)
= 2.5 x 36
= 90 mins= 1.5 hours
3. Total trips for 1 lorry; 8 hours/1.5 hour = 5.33 trips
4. For 7 lorries; 7 x 5.33 trips = 37.31 trips
5. Total capacity per day carried -1 day = 37.31 trip x 5.73 m3
= 213.79 m3
6. Filling works carried out in 1 week = 6 days x 213.79 m3
= 1,282.74 m3
7. Time taken to transport and backfill the earth quantities (12,000 m3)
= 12,000 / 1,282.74 m3
= 9.35 weeks
= 10 weeks
