Latest Bihar Schedule of Rates
What is a Schedule of Rates (SOR)?
A Schedule of Rates, or SOR for short, is basically a detailed list that lays out the standard prices for different types of work, materials, and services used in construction projects. Think of it as a pricing guide that helps everyone—from engineers to contractors—stay on the same page when it comes to budgeting and estimating costs.
These rates are usually put together by government departments or engineering bodies, and they’re used as a reference point for planning and bidding on public works projects. Having a standard set of rates helps keep things fair, transparent, and consistent. It makes sure that similar projects don’t end up with wildly different costs and that everything runs smoothly when it’s time to compare bids or manage expenses.
In short, SOR is a tool that helps bring order, clarity, and fairness to the world of construction.
