Q: Following the cubical content method of estimate for buildings, the estimated cost of building is determined by multiplying the total cubical contents of the building and ........... (Assume specifications and construction similar to buildings in the locality)
  • A. local cubic rate
  • B. volume of the building
  • C. height of the building
  • D. area of the building
Correct Answer: Option A - Cubical contents method–This method is generally used for multi-storeyed buildings. • It is more accurate than the plinth area method and unit base method. • The cost of a structure is calculated approximately as the total cubical contents multiplied by local cubic rate.
