Appendix A: Sample Resource Build-Up (Illustrative Extract)
The lines below are an illustrative extract only, shown to demonstrate the structure of the underlying build-up — not an actual project estimate. A typical project build-up runs to 500+ lines across all elements; this shows 15, drawn from three.
| Item | Description | Quantity | Unit | Resource type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pile Cap Type A — Concrete 25MPa | 12.4 | m³ | Material |
| 2 | Pile Cap Type A — Reinforcement | 1.2 | t | Material |
| 3 | Pile Cap Type A — Formwork | 18.6 | m² | Material |
| 4 | Pile Cap Type A — Placing & finishing labour | 14 | hrs | Labour |
| 5 | Pile Cap Type A — Excavation plant | 6 | hrs | Plant |
| 6 | Column Type B — Concrete 32MPa | 3.8 | m³ | Material |
| 7 | Column Type B — Reinforcement | 0.6 | t | Material |
| 8 | Column Type B — Formwork (reusable system) | 22.0 | m² | Material |
| 9 | Column Type B — Steel fixing labour | 9 | hrs | Labour |
| 10 | Column Type B — Concrete placing labour | 5 | hrs | Labour |
| 11 | Suspended Slab — Concrete 32MPa | 42.5 | m³ | Material |
| 12 | Suspended Slab — Reinforcement mesh | 2.1 | t | Material |
| 13 | Suspended Slab — Formwork & propping | 165.0 | m² | Material |
| 14 | Suspended Slab — Placing & finishing labour | 28 | hrs | Labour |
| 15 | Suspended Slab — Concrete pump (plant) | 10 | hrs | Plant |
Each row of this kind is what the audit trail in Section 8 refers back to: a resource quantity, in its natural unit, that can be traced forward to a cost and a programme duration, or backward to the formula and Global Variable that generated it.
