    Hi Ahmed

    You could explore the interelationship of the four cost elements.

    Fixed - Volume - Time - Percent.

    One exercise I set in a seminar was to list all the elements needed to create a 10,000 m3 of concrete in an isolated site (no readymix) and allocate a cost element to each one.

    Then reduce it to a cost per m3.

    For instance just for the water you need:

    Either a borehole & pump plus tank or a set of bowsers and a tank. Each of which will have a ratio of Fixed Time and Volume costs.

    Best regards
