After this course

What you'll be able to do yourself.

Behind every unit rate are coefficients, labour, materials and equipment. This course teaches you to read an AHSP sheet, convert shop prices into analysis units, compare them with piecework and build up a reinforced concrete rate. Every rupiah figure here is a sample price, so what you learn is the method.

  1. 1Read an analysis and match its unit to the BoQ.
  2. 2Convert prices per bag, truck and bar into kg and m³.
  3. 3Compare the analysis, day rates and piecework.
  4. 4Derive coefficients from site output.
  5. 5Build up a reinforced concrete rate per m³.

Good for

  • New estimators who want to know where unit rates come from.
  • Small contractors who want to price from calculation.
  • Site staff who negotiate piecework with foremen.

Slide the value. The drawing follows, just like in the lessons.

Closer near the column, where shear peaks. The final value still comes from the structural engineer.

  • Ardi Nugraha

    The unit rate chapter was an eye-opener. I now separate labour and materials.

  • Nadia Kusuma

    Interior architect

    The calculation exercises use real drawings, not textbook problems.

  • Dimas Prakoso

    Architecture student, final year

    The take-off method is tidy and traceable. Nobody asks where my numbers came from anymore.
