The task you described can be solved using Spider Project software.
In this package you can create reference-books with the production rates (productivities) of resources on different assignment types and apply these data to any project.
Activity duration will depend on activity type, work volume (quantity) and total productivity of the assigned crews.
Create resource dictionary with Normal usage rate for each resource (you may also set Max usage - if you wanna analyze the availability of resources through the project lifecycle)
Step 2.
Assign the Budget qty for each activity basing on UPT (units per time period) rather then BQ. P3 will calculate BQ automatically.
Consider the checkbox Freeze UPT in Autocost rules.
Check it if you wish to follow this scenario:
RD- is increasing, UPT - doesnt change, BQ - is increasing
Uncheck it:
RD- is increasing, UPT - is decreasing, BQ - doesnt change

Renjith,

Is this what you wanted?

hi Andrew,
Thanks for ur response. but the problem is not yet fixed for me.
actually what i need is to link one resource with the other so that the change in the 1st resource will change the second one automatically.
Eg.
Activity 1 - Needes 100 Pipe fitter months
- for each pipe fitter, there should be 1 pipe welder.
Is it possible to give a relation like this?
let me know if any body have a hint. or send me a sample project which is resource loaded in this passion.
also please tell me how effectively we can use primavera in the estimation point of view.
