(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Sankar
You need to check the definitions in your contract document and what is described there.
In the absence of anything set down I would assume that the basic rate for materials is the cost when it is delivered to the site - including all taxes and levies.

Hi Sankar
A basic rate is the sum set in the Price column of a BoQ to cover the work described in the BoQ item. When multplied by the quantity it gives the contract price for that item.
The basic rate covers everything required to complete the work which is set down in the drawings and specification and described in the BoQ.
Matters such as taxes and levies will be described in the item coverage in the SMM or in the pricing guide in the invitation to tender.
