Estimating is important at different stages of procurement to control costs, allocate budgets, establish schedules, and help clients get competitive tenders. Pre-contract estimating predicts costs, time, and construction periods. Post-contract estimating is used for budget management, assessments, cost control, cash flow management, and assisting clients with changes. Measurement involves quantifying work, tendering is soliciting bids, and estimating predicts costs. Preliminaries are expenses like workers' accommodation, tools, scaffolding, temporary works, and insurance that are project running costs not included in materials, labor, or overheads.

Estimating is important at each stage to control costs, apportion risk, prevent overpaying, and avoid unnecessary additional expenses. Measurement involves quantifying items, estimating calculates approximate costs from measurements and rates, and tendering provides a priced offer that includes measurement and estimating details plus contractor profit. Preliminaries represent general site costs that cannot be allocated specifically, and examples given are site security, utilities, fencing, signage, insurance, and temporary accommodation.
Estimating Seminar (QS)
Estimating at different stages of procurement is important in the construction industry. At the concept stage, estimators provide a general cost view and advise on project changes. In design, they discuss costs with designers and estimate materials and workloads. At tender, the accurate total cost is laid out for client budgeting. During construction, costs must follow the set budget and finish on schedule. Estimators ensure proper financial control, prevent unnecessary costs, and use reliable checking systems at each stage. Measurement quantifies items, estimating adds rates to get total costs, and tendering adds profit margins for priced contract offers. Preliminaries are general site costs like security, utilities, site facilities, and insurances that cannot be allocated to specific
PP1 presentation
This document proposes using a management contracting procurement method, two-stage selective tendering process, and a cost plus fixed fee contract for a RM600 million hotel and shopping complex project.
It recommends management contracting because it allows for parallel design and construction, shortening timelines. A management contractor would manage work package contractors and coordinate construction.
A two-stage selective tendering process is proposed, with an initial prequalification stage followed by negotiations. This allows contractor experience and capabilities to be evaluated early.
It suggests a cost plus fixed fee contract where the management contractor is given a fixed fee and works packages are awarded lump sum. This motivates timely completion while providing cost certainty for the client.
Quantity surveyor
Quantity surveyors provide cost management services throughout construction projects. They estimate costs, prepare bills of quantities, and advise clients on procurement and contractual methods. The Quantity Surveyor Certified Board regulates the profession and consists of a president, registrar, secretary, and 16 members appointed by the Ministry of Works. Quantity surveyors' responsibilities include cost planning, estimating, tendering, contract administration, and resolving payment disputes. They monitor costs at different construction stages and certify payments.

Cbb 512 assignment_1
This document contains a university student's assignment responses on construction management topics. It discusses tender pricing documents, prime cost sums versus provisional sums, method related charges, specification types (method vs. end-result), the engineer's responsibilities on a construction project, the differences between estimates and tenders, factors for writing accurate job descriptions and person specifications, approaches to motivation (negative vs. frustration reduction), communication models (linear vs. interactive), and benefits of clear communication in organizations. References are provided at the end from several construction and business sources.
Pp1 assignment group 8
This document discusses the procurement method, tendering method, and contract arrangement for a construction project. It recommends the traditional procurement method to give the client full design control. It proposes using a two-stage selective tendering process to ensure contractor quality and transparency. Under this process, contractors will be prequalified before a select few are invited to tender. Finally, it suggests using a lump sum contract to minimize price variations and help the client's budget control.
Introduction to construction project.pptx
This document provides an overview of construction engineering and management. It discusses the key stages of a construction project including briefing, designing, tendering, construction, monitoring and commissioning. It also outlines the unique features of construction projects, the works carried out, stakeholders involved, and how to breakdown a project using a work breakdown structure (WBS). The stages involve defining project objectives, preparing feasibility reports and designs, appointing contractors through tendering, executing construction works, monitoring progress, and ensuring facilities function as intended upon commissioning. Stakeholders include investors, consumers, contractors, designers, employees and suppliers. A WBS further divides project work into hierarchical levels from sub-projects to operations.
Project management assignment slides
1) The project aims to provide affordable accommodation for students through low-cost houses, establish business opportunities through double-storey shop/offices, and promote neighborhood economic activity.
2) The design-bid-build procurement method was selected which separates design and construction into sequential phases, allowing the client full control over design.
3) Quality management and risk analysis were important processes to ensure project objectives were achieved effectively and efficiently. Key risks identified were related to adjacent impacts, delays, safety, and ensuring technical and financial feasibility. Mitigation strategies focused on clear communication, competent teams, and contingency planning.
Professional practice-1-presentation
This document provides information about a group assignment for a professional practice course. The group members are listed. The project involves developing a 20-storey condominium in Kuala Lumpur to address the effects of the Malaysian economic downturn on property developers. Various construction procurement methods are discussed, including traditional procurement, management contracting, design-build, and cost reimbursement contracts. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are analyzed. Management contracting using a cost plus fixed fee contract is recommended to control costs while maintaining quality for the condominium project.
PP1 presentation
This document proposes using a management contracting procurement method, two-stage selective tendering process, and cost plus fixed fee contract for a RM600 million hotel and shopping complex project.
It recommends management contracting because it allows for parallel design and construction, shortening timelines. A management contractor would manage work package contractors and coordinate construction.
A two-stage selective tender process is proposed where contractors submit qualifications initially and then negotiate, allowing unqualified contractors to be eliminated.
It suggests a cost plus fixed fee contract because the management contractor's fee is fixed and unrelated to actual costs, incentivizing faster work while controlling risks and costs for the client.
Professional Practice I Assignment
This document outlines the group assignment for a quantity surveying course. It recommends the traditional procurement method, two stage selective tendering process, and lump sum contract using the PAM 2006 form for a proposed extension project of the Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers. The traditional method provides the client with lower cost and quality risks while allowing design control. Two stage selective tendering reduces the risk of selecting inexperienced contractors through pre-qualification. The lump sum contract and PAM 2006 form distribute risks fairly and are widely accepted in Malaysia.
