Planned work can be finding from the detailed drawings and the
detailed estimates, then the quantities which are taken off are
compared to find the difference.
For doing any civil project work we are required to know about the
estimated cost of project so that the funds which are required can be
made available and if the funds are not sufficient then the project will
be facing many project
The whole project will be divided into smaller works and then quantity
of various items is taken .
