Kerala Water Authority

Project Information and Cost Estimation (PRICE) is a total solution for estimate preparation and online approval. It is developed for the Public Works Department, Kerala. PRICE is based on CPWD Schedule of Rates, Specification, Rate Analysis and cost index. Central Public Works Department, Government of India (CPWD) releases the revised version of Analysis of Rates and Schedule of Rates every year. For every state, CPWD has incorporated Cost index to get a normalised rate for preparing the estimates. Initially the software was developed based on Delhi Schedule of Rates (DSR) 2012 which was later updated to DSR 2013. PRICE was developed with provision to dynamically generate the data book as and when new DSR is published by the CPWD and presently estimates are preparing based on 2014 DSOR. Facilities for preparation of estimate, online submission of estimates to higher offices, Administrative Sanction, Technical Sanction, maintaining A.S. and T.S. registers, preparation of BOQ and preparation of Local Market Rate Justification estimate are available in the software.
