A 'cube rate estimate' for a building is prepared by multiplying:
Choose the correct answer
Plinth area × standard floor-to-floor height × cube rate per m²
Total cubic content (L × B × H) of building × cost rate per m³
Number of rooms × standard room rate
Total wall length × wall thickness × room height × unit rate
Correct Answer
B. Total cubic content (L × B × H) of building × cost rate per m³

Cube rate estimate = Volume of building (m³) × cube rate (Rs/m³). Volume = length × breadth × total height. The cube rate includes all elements (structure, finishes, services). It is less accurate than plinth area or detailed estimates but quick for budget purposes at planning stage.
