Design, Planning and Cost Estimation of a G+1 School Building

Abstract

A school building is a facility that holds classrooms, laboratories, dormitories, athletic fields, and other school-related amenities. The project involves the design, analysis, planning, and cost estimation of a school building. Classrooms, labs, a staff room, a music room, an auditorium, a bathroom, and a multipurpose hall are all housed in one school facility. Building planning can be done manually or via the use of software. We choose software because it saves time, is easy to customize, and is error-free. Consider using software to generate approximate findings to eliminate human error. B. ETABS, STAAD Pro, STRUDS, and other structural analysis and design software are available on the market. We utilized STAAD Pro for structure design and AutoCAD for layout plan creation.
Slabs, beams, columns, and footings are all designed in compliance with Indian standards IS 456-2000, IS 875, and design aid SP-16. The Limit state technique is used to generate the structural components. The materials were chosen with the National Building Code in mind. M30 concrete and Fe600 steel bars were employed throughout the design. 300mm thick C.M 1:5 mix brick walls are employed. Revit software was used for 3D perspective design and elevation. The school complex spans 24 acres and includes a built-up area of nearly 8000 m2.
The centerline method for calculating the quantities of various sorts of work. The centerline method was used to obtain the most accurate estimate. The rate analysis is conducted in line with PWD SOR 2015, excluding GST. The cost estimate for the project was calculated using Microsoft Excel. The PWD Schedule of Rates for 2015 was utilized to estimate the abstract cost, which came to Rs 1968.16 Lacs.
