The ‘Norms for Rate Analysis of Retrofitting Masonry Building’ is prepared by the Retrofitting Technical Working Group (R-TWG) led and facilitated by Housing Recovery and Reconstruction Platform (HRRP) and comprising reconstruction stakeholders working in the area of retrofitting in March 2020. The document serves as a standard for the calculation of labor, materials and tools that are required for different items of retrofitting of load-bearing masonry structures. The implementation of retrofitting works during Gorkha Earthquake housing retrofitting scaled with the retrofitting works before 2015 Gorkha earthquake are the basis of standardizing processes which adopt the empirical method for the study. Further, the existing items for new construction as mentioned in Government norms are also considered while detailing on item work.
