Question

In the cubical contents method, the cost of a structure is computed by the multiplication of total cubic contents and _______

(a) Area of building

(b) Volume of building

(c) Local cubic rate

(d) Length of building

This question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

My doubt is from Types of Estimates in section Rate Analysis, Estimation and Costing of Construction & Building Materials

Answer 1

The correct choice is (c) Local cubic rate

The best I can explain: The cost of a structure in the cubical contents method is determined by the multiplication of total cubic contents with the local cubic rate. Therefore, the cost of the building is calculated by multiplying the volume of buildings with the rate per unit volume.
