P.W.D. Uttarakhand has developed and started using an internal management information system for compilation of information on progress of various civil works in the state taken up by the PWD. The PWD has also developed an electronic Schedule of Rates (eSOR) available to public since March 2011 and which is being used by various engineering departments of the state for cost estimation of civil works. The eSOR provides representative rates for items of construction for the 95 block level units in the state. This has resulted in expediting the process of cost estimation of civil works with analysis of rates not required in almost all items of works.
