SAFHE northern region presentation

1. Order of Magnitude Estimator
for Public Hospitals, etc.
1 October 2014

2. • IUSS Guideline Norms and Standards are
intended to replace the old SAH Norms but not as
absolute rather a guideline.
• Norms have three components:
– Need norm – population driven
– Area norm – based on service requirements, HT
– Cost norm – area*rate/m²
• Cost norms are linked to time and programme for
planning and construction will influence norm
cost for a specific project – therefore linked to a
base date.
• Planning units are the common denominator for
the three components. Strategic (Service) PU
versus Departmental (Functional) PU

4. OoM Estimator = application of cost
norm = quick and easy budget for
hospital at initiation stage of project

5. How did we determine cost norms?
• Analysis of cost of a number of hospitals into locations
or departments and into building elements linked to
base dates determined the rate per m²
• JS Elemental breakdown .xlsx
• Determine norms bottom up. Currently rate/m² was
determined by analysis of recently built hospitals.
Acknowledge Ken, Steve and Riaan.
• Next phase: Design of ideal hospital departments
which will then be measured and costed. Ongoing
analysis of new hospital projects to inform norms.
• So what?
• ALL consultants to measure, estimate and report per
department per element including E &M

7. Gazette 116 – 17 February 2014

8. Gazette 512 30 June 2014

9. Measurement in locations and
elements
• Made compulsory by Gazette 116
• Detailed in document “Professional Service
Provider instructions for Quantity Surveyors
and Architects”
• 2014-03-31-IUSS-Space-guideline-QS-Architect-
Instruction-development.pdf
• The above will apply equally to E&M
Engineers

10. Detail Hospital Estimator under
development (not peer reviewed)
• Purpose: Developed for use of project
consultants and others to compare designed
project against norms
• It uses more input and should be more accurate
• Will align with FAST(briefing tool) Facility
Assembly Schedule Toolkit
