ESTIMATING PROCEDURE FOR :

1. BATTERBOARD
a. To estimate batterboard, first compute the area of the structure in sq.m. multiply the
4.85 bd.ft. for 2" x 2" lumber, 7.28 bd.ft. for 2" x 3" lumber. Then the total bd.ft. divi
2 will give you the bd.ft. of lumber to be used as batterboard.
b. The second procedure is to compute the lineal meter of the structure location giving an
wance or margin of 1.00 all around. Count also the no. of stake to be used. No. of stake
ply by 1.20 ( length of stake ) to get total lineal meter. Add all the ilneal meter & chang
neal foot. Compute the bd.ft. by using 2" x 2" or 2" x 3" lumber.
c. For nails : divide the total bd.ft. by 1,000 then multiply by 15 to get kilos required.
: divide the total bd.ft. by 2,500.
d. For # 12 guide wire to be used as guide in layout, divide the total bd.ft. by 4,000 to ob
roll of wire.
