Definition
In the Indian vernacular, "Kaccha" (meaning raw or unpolished) refers to temporary, impermanent structures. A Kaccha house is built using mud, thatch, or unburnt bricks, as opposed to a "Pucca" (permanent) structure made of RCC and burnt bricks. Similarly, a Kaccha road is an unpaved dirt track commonly created on construction sites for temporary equipment access.
Practical Example
Before the heavy monsoons arrive, a contractor heavily compacts the temporary Kaccha access road leading to the site and tops it with stone soling. If left as a Kaccha dirt road, it would turn to impassable mud, stopping concrete transit mixers from reaching the batching plant.
Application in Superwise
Constructing temporary site facilities (like Kaccha access roads, labor camps, and site offices) falls under "Preliminaries" or "Enabling Works." In Superwise, these indirect costs are budgeted and tracked separately from the main structural BOQ, allowing directors to monitor overhead spending strictly.
