Cost Plan
Cost planning process is divided into four key stages:
Stage A [Indicative Cost]
Involves initial cost advice, providing clients with a high-level cost estimate based on the project's concept and scope.
Stage B [Preliminary Estimate]
Refines this initial estimate into a more detailed preliminary cost plan, incorporating initial design details and assumptions.
Stage C [Limit of Cost Estimate]
Further develops the cost plan by integrating detailed design information, material selections, and construction methods.
Stage D [Tender Estimate]
Involves the preparation of a comprehensive and definitive cost plan, which includes detailed quantities and rates for all elements of the project, ensuring a robust and accurate financial framework to guide project execution.
Bill of Quantities (BOQ)
A BOQ provides a detailed and itemised list of all materials, parts, and labour necessary for the construction of a project.
It serves as a crucial document for tendering processes, enabling contractors to price the work accurately and consistently.
The BOQ is structured systematically, following standard measurement principles [ANZSMM2022] and ensuring all project components are accounted for.
This meticulous preparation facilitates clear communication between all parties involved, reducing the risk of disputes, and ensuring accurate cost control throughout the project lifecycle.
Material take-offs
Involves the detailed quantification of all materials required for a project, extracted directly from the construction drawings and specifications.
This process ensures that estimators have a precise understanding of the material needs, which is crucial for accurate cost estimation and procurement planning.
By systematically breaking down each element of the project, they help in identifying potential cost-saving opportunities and ensuring efficient resource allocation, thereby enhancing overall project efficiency and cost management.
