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
