What's the CPWD DSR rate to install a European (pedestal) WC?
A complete European-type (pedestal) water closet with seat, lid and a 10-litre low-level flushing cistern — priced as one item including cutting and making good the walls/floor.
Preliminary Using CPWD DSR 2021 (Civil) item rates as published, this worked scenario adds up to ₹5,540.55 (items 17.2.1). The item rates are CPWD's Delhi base rates; the quantities and the item mix are NirmanDost's scenario, not a CPWD bundle — adjust both to your site and apply your local cost index.
