Option 1 : Centre line method
Explanation:
Center Line Method:
- In this particular method length of the centerline of the wall is firstly calculated, then its length is multiplied with breadth and height to get the total quantity.
- This method gives very quick and accurate results.
- Suitable for Rectangular, circular, hexagonal, octagonal shapes of building estimation.
- No deductions will be made for corners while using the centerline method.
Separate wall method:
- Length of the external wall in longitudinal direction and length of internal wall running in the transverse direction are evaluated then after quantity will be calculated by multiplying length x breadth x height.
- In the longitudinal direction, wall length is normally reduced from earthwork to brickwork in the case of the superstructure.
Formulas used are:
Length of longwall (out to out) = center to centre length + half breadth on one side + half breadth on the other side = centre to centre length + one breadth
Length of the short wall (in to in) = centre to centre length – one breadth
Long wall - short wall method:
This method defines, the wall along the room length is considered as longwall and the wall perpendicular to longwall is considered as the short wall.
Formulas used are:
Length of longwall (out to out) = Center line length of longwall + half breadth at each end to its centerline length
Length of the short wall (in to in) = Center line length of the short wall - the half breadth of its centerline length at each end
