What is the rate analysis of PCC 1:4:8 (lean concrete, nominal)?

It breaks the rate of one cum into material (OPC 43 Grade Cement, River Sand, Coarse Aggregate 40mm), labour (Skilled Mason, Unskilled Labour) and machinery, then adds water charges and contractor's overheads — exactly how a CPWD/PWD schedule-of-rates analysis is prepared.

How much cement is needed for 1 cum of PCC 1:4:8 (lean concrete, nominal)?

About 3.36 bags of cement per cum (design-mix basis), alongside the sand, aggregate and other materials shown in the analysis above.

Does the PCC 1:4:8 (lean concrete, nominal) rate include reinforcement steel and shuttering?

No. Concrete rates here are concrete-only. Reinforcement steel (TMT, cut–bend–place) and formwork/shuttering are separate items — see "RCC Reinforcement Steel" in the related list.

Are these rates official?

No — they are indicative, computed from live market prices and standard coefficients. They are useful for estimates and cross-checks, but are not a substitute for a sanctioned Schedule of Rates (DSR/state SoR) or a tendered rate.

Method: standard CPWD-style analysis-of-rates coefficients × current market material/labour rates for each city, + 1% water charges + 15% contractor's profit & overheads. Concrete grades use design-mix cement content; reinforcement steel and formwork are separate items. Prices are indicative ranges — actual rates vary by brand, quantity, site and contract. Not a substitute for a sanctioned schedule of rates.
