6.

Explain the following clauses used in conditions of contract.

i) Maintenance period
ii) Arbitration
iii) Supply of water
iv) Security deposit

7.

a) Differentiate between the following.

i) Salvage value and Scrap value. ii) Free hold and Lease hold properties.
b) A building constructed on a site measuring 20m 30m is fetching a gross rent of Rs. 2,500/- per
month. The plinth area of the building is 140 Sq.m. and the cost of construction is Rs. 2,000/-per
Sq.m. of plinth area. The estimate life of the building is 70 years. Determine the present value of the
property based on rental income assuming a net yield of 9% for sinking fund accumulation, a
compound interest of 5% may be assumed. Taxes, annual repairs and all other outgoings may be
taken as 32% of the gross income, and the cost of land as Rs. 80/- per Sq.m.

8.

List and explain any four general items of work involved in the estimation for a building with its process
calculation.
