DEAR ANIL

RCC cost depends on following

1.0 cost of cement

2.0 cost of aggrigate

3.0 cost of sand

4.0 Labour cost

5.0 reinforcement steel cost

6.0 water cost

7.0 equipment cost

8.0 lshuttering cost

9.0 overhesd and profit

out of above except cement and reinforcement each componant cost is different in different countries based on availablty

Without knowing location of silo cost estimate is very difficult

for example RCC cost may vary from USD 100 per cubic meter to USD 250 per cubic metre based on input cost

Before estimation pl take local rates of these items.

In india itself RCC cost variation it self is 30 pecent from one site to another

Similarly there may be 20-25 percent variation in design quantity if two different designers design same silo

Based on location wind forces and seismic conditions changes there may be change in rcc quantities based on these factors
