SOR Rate Analysis
Rate Analysis: Understanding and Application
Introduction
Rate analysis in Public Works Departments (PWD) involves the examination and calculation of rates for various construction activities or works. It is a systematic process carried out to determine the cost of executing a particular work item per unit quantity. Rate analysis typically involves breaking down the cost components associated with a construction activity, including materials, labor, machinery, contractor's profit, overhead costs, and miscellaneous expenses.
The purpose of rate analysis in PWD is to establish fair and accurate rates for different items of work, which helps in estimating the overall cost of a construction project. These rates are often based on prevailing market prices, standard specifications, and historical data. Rate analysis is crucial for budgeting, tendering, and ensuring transparency and accountability in construction projects undertaken by the Public Works Departments.

Add Rate Analysis
It enables the user to add rate analysis for a Works SOR.
To add the rate analysis -
Search for the relevant SOR and open it to view the details.
Select the Add Rate Analysis option from Take Action - this will open the add rate analysis form with the following attributes:

Edit Rate Analysis
Edit rate analysis allows the user to modify the existing rate analysis, on modification the existing rate analysis is marked inactive while the new rate analysis is added and made effective from the same date and time for which the existing rate analysis was effective.
Revision of Rates
The rates of works SORs are revised when the rates of SORs of type Material, Labour, and Machinery are revised. The rates for works SORs are to be revised by scheduling a job in the system. The user at the ULB takes a call to revise the rate and accordingly schedule it in the system.
Scheduling a JOB
View Scheduled Jobs
It allows the users to search, view and track the status of the JOBs scheduled for revising rate.
Analysis Statements
The analysis of estimates is done to know the breakup of the labour, material and machinery at the item and cost level. Once an estimate detail is saved, analysis statements can be generated. Action to generate analysis is provided from the Edit/ View Estimate page, once generated the same can be downloaded from the edit/view screen using the download option in PDF format.
The analysis of material out of the estimate prepared is the process of identifying the quantity of material which is required to accomplish the work. It generates a statement for material to be procured and then handed over to CBO along with the work order.

Utilization Statements
Utilization statements are generated out of the measurement book and are used to validate the Muster Roll and Purchase Bill.
Material Utilization
Using the rate analysis the material utilization statement is created for the consumed quantity of SOR items in the measurement book and a statement in the same format as the material analysis statement is created. The cost of material utilized here is used to validate the purchase bill created for payment now.
Labour Utilization
Using the rate analysis the labour utilization statement is created for the consumed quantity of SOR items in the measurement book and a statement in the same format as the labour analysis statement is created. The cost of labour utilized here is used to validate the muster roll created for the period.
Machinery Utilization
Using the rate analysis the machinery utilization statement is created for the consumed quantity of SOR items in the measurement book and a statement in the same format as the machinery analysis statement is created. The cost of machinery utilized here is used to validate the purchase bill created for the period.
Analysis Statements Download
The option to download the estimate analysis statements is to be enabled in the view work order screen for both CBO and Employee.
Same way labour and machinery analysis statement PDFs are also generated and allowed to be downloaded.
