    Lumpsum quantity of steel in residential as well as a commercial building:

    Here I will tell you the meaning of lumpsum in a simple way, have a look;

    Meaning Of Lumpsum:

    The lump-sum is simply a single payment of money which is opposed to a series of payments made over time such as an annuity.


    The quantity of steel is different in different structural elements because the load taken by different elements are different.


    • Slab or lintel – 0.7 to 1% (55 to  78.5 kg per metre)

    • Columns – 0.8 to 6% (62.8 to 471 kg per metre cube)

    I hope so your doubt is clear.

    Thank You.
