Compare your rates with the schedule

What your quoted percentage actually means against the department’s estimate, and whether the items that decide the job cover what they cost you. Runs in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere or stored.

The tender

Estimated cost put to tender (₹)The department’s own figure, priced from the schedule. It is stated in the NIT.

Cost index applied (%)100 means the base schedule with no adjustment. A schedule written for Delhi used at another station carries that station’s index — and the index, not the base rate, is often where the money is.

Your quoted percentageNegative for below the estimate, positive for above. Quoting “8% below” is -8.

A percentage applies to every item alike — including the ones where the schedule is already thinner than what the work costs you, and the ones whose quantity is understated. It is a judgement about the whole estimate, not about how efficient you are.

Load your schedule of rates

This page does not carry the DSR, and deliberately so — CPWD’s schedule and the state SORs are priced publications, and the edition that governs your job is the one your tender names. Load your own copy instead: paste it from Excel or choose a CSV. It is parsed in your browser, kept in this browser only, and remembered next time so you load it once.

What is it (for your own reference)

Paste the schedule, or any comma or tab separated rows

… or choose a CSV fileA scanned PDF cannot be read reliably — the digits in a rate table are exactly what OCR gets wrong. Export to CSV, or paste.

Bring in your own BOQ

Open the bill of quantities in Excel, select the columns you want and paste them below — or choose a CSV file. It is read in your browser: there is no server behind this page, so a priced BOQ never leaves your computer.

Your biggest items, against the schedule

Three or four items decide most jobs. Put in the schedule rate from the edition your tender names, what the work actually costs you, and the quantity. The gap column applies your cost index and quoted percentage to the schedule rate, then compares it with your cost. The item box suggests common BOQ items as you type, and takes anything you type instead — the description that governs is the one in your tender.

Before you rely on this

This does not contain the schedule. It cannot: rates move between editions, and the edition named in your tender is the only one that counts. An estimate prepared on one edition and a bid priced from another are two different sums of money, and the difference is yours to absorb. Take the rates from the schedule your tender names.
“DSR” may not mean CPWD’s DSR. State PWDs publish their own schedules on their own cycles, and a municipal body or PSU may use something else again. The tender document says which — assume nothing from the abbreviation.
Read what the rate is deemed to include — carriage, dewatering, disposal, curing. A schedule rate that looks generous often is not once you read the description.
Check the quantities against the drawings. In a percentage-rate contract an understated quantity is not a variation you can price later.
The background is in the CPWD DSR and schedules of rates, and the full bid arithmetic in pricing a small works tender.

Details here are copied from the portal that published each tender. Always confirm the deadline and documents on that portal before bidding.
