Abstract
Case studies of six completed projects were made with the objective of comparing actual quantities of constituents taken from their bills of quantities with those obtained by using the established charts (Chapter 3 to 5). The comparison has indicated that the actual quantities consumed in different projects are always more than those quantities when computed theoretically. The difference varies from project to project, the overall range being 4.8–10.3 per cent. This suggests that an allowance of about 5–10 per cent should be added to the quantities obtained theoretically.
