JSBCCL Schedule of Rates
About Jharkhand State Building Construction Corporation Ltd
JSBCCL handles the actual execution of building-construction projects funded by Jharkhand's BCD — government office buildings, schools, hospitals, residential quarters, and institutional buildings. As the executing arm of BCD, JSBCCL inherits the parent's rate framework. Since BCD itself doesn't publish a public consolidated SOR, JSBCCL tenders cite 'RCD Road Division Dumka SOR' as the de-facto rate reference plus project-specific BoQs. This pattern — using RCD's well-published SOR as a cross-cutting rate basis even for non-road works — is a Jharkhand-specific peculiarity that engineers preparing JSBCCL bids should be aware of. Engineers cross-reference RCD SOR 2021-22 (already covered) for general civil items.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does JSBCCL cite RCD SOR for building works?
BCD (parent department) hasn't published a consolidated public SOR despite being the building-construction wing. JSBCCL falls back to RCD SOR (which is well-published and structured) for cross-cutting civil items — earthwork, RCC, masonry, plaster, finishes — that are common to roads and buildings. Project-specific items (specialised finishes, MEP integration) get separate rate analysis in tender BoQs.
Does JSBCCL build private buildings?
No — JSBCCL is restricted to Jharkhand state government building works under BCD funding. Private construction follows separate developer/contractor frameworks.
What's a typical JSBCCL project?
District magistrate complexes, panchayat buildings, primary health centres, schools, residential quarters for state government employees, plus capital region building projects in Ranchi.
How does this differ from RCD?
RCD (Road Construction Department) handles roads and bridges. BCD (Building Construction Department) and JSBCCL handle buildings. Different scope but shared rate basis due to BCD's lack of own SOR publication.
Where do I find JSBCCL tenders?
jsbccl.jharkhand.gov.in publishes tenders. Each tender references the applicable rate basis (RCD SOR + project annexure) in the NIT clauses.
