Abstract
Estimates of work quantities and their costing is an important element in planning of afforestation and reforestation programmes. Cost estimates can be prepared in two stages. First, the quantities of work (e.g. volumes of excavation, numbers of polypots to fill) are worked out. Thereafter, unit costs are developed and multiplied by the quantities of work to arrive at the final cost estimates. An approach is also provided with examples of model cost estimates of plantations which can be used in planning of afforestation projects and programmes.
