  2. DO NOT EDIT MATERIAL OR LABOUR COEFFICIENTS UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME VALID REASONS TO DO SO. 

3. THE MATERIAL COEFFICIENTS ARE USED FOR CALCULATION OF TOTAL CEMENT, SAND, AGGREGATE & BITUMEN QUANTITIES ONLY.

THE LABOUR COEFFICIENTS ARE USED FOR CALCULATION OF TOTAL MASON, CARPENTER, SKILLED LABOUR, UNSKILLED LABOUR & FOREMAN QUANTITIES.

4. THE ABOVE COEFFICIENTS ARE ALSO USED IN CALCULATION OF MONTHLY MATERIAL, LABOUR & CASH FLOW REQUIREMENTS  AFTER USER HAS PREPARED THE PROJECT BAR CHART.
