🏗️SITE ENGINEER’S QUICK CALCULATION GUIDE 🌟A handy reference for preliminary estimation of common construction materials. 1️⃣ Concrete Quantity Concrete Quantity = 0.036 × Built-up Area (m²) 2️⃣ Shuttering Quantity Shuttering Quantity = 2.4–2.5 × Slab Area (m²) 3️⃣ Plywood Sheets No. of Plywood Sheets = Shuttering Quantity × 0.22 Standard sheet: 2440 × 1220 × 18 mm 4️⃣ Battens No. of Battens = No. of Plywood Sheets × 19.62 5️⃣ Nails Nails = 0.075 × Shuttering Quantity (kg) 6️⃣ Binding Wire Binding Wire = 0.075 × Shuttering Quantity (kg) 7️⃣ Shuttering Oil Shuttering Oil = 0.065 × Shuttering Quantity Approx. 1 litre for every 15 m² 8️⃣ Steel Quantity Approximate values shown: • 4.425 kg/sq ft — building height up to 1st–3rd slab • 6.625 kg/sq ft — above 3rd slab 💡 Important: These are preliminary estimation values only. ⏺Actual quantities can vary depending on structural design, member sizes, reinforcement detailing, formwork system, wastage and site conditions. ⏺Always verify quantities with the approved structural drawings and project specifications. #CivilEngineering #SiteEngineer #Construction #QuantityEstimation #Concrete #RCC #Shuttering #Formwork #Plywood #BindingWire #ReinforcementSteel #ConstructionMaterials #BuildingConstruction #StructuralEngineering #EngineeringTips @etconp
