?????????????????????(Budgeting and Estimates)
6
  • BUDGET FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
  • In all organizations, a construction project is a
    capital investment project. Budgeting for the
    project will, therefore, be different from annual
    budgets for the organization.
  • Budgeting in organization
  • The usual approach in most organizations is to
    base next year's budget on this year's budget and
    expenses. A percentage is then added based on
    anticipated cost increases, thus
  • Next year's budget This year's budget X,
  • The value X may be based on
  • 1. Get feelings,
  • 2. Inflation forecasts,
  • 3. Additional plans made.

6
Major approaches
  • 1. Top-down budgeting
  • Management has been said to be better at
    judging overall project costs than the cost of
    individual parts. Top down budgeting may vary
    from an assessment of probable cost by
    individuals, costs generated through consensus of
    experts' is then broken down to individual parts.
    The broken down may use factors generated from
    experience. This approach leaves the setting of
    overall budget to the top management while lower
    level managers have to distribute budget
    allocated to them to parts under them. Using this
    approach, overall budgets may be accurate while
    errors are infighting between lower level
    managers.

7
  • 2. Bottom-up budgeting
  • In this approach, costs are calculated for
    individual parts and then summed up for the whole
    project. There is thus the need to ensure that
    all parts are included. A major failing is that
    individuals may tend to "overstate" budgetary
    requirements in the knowledge that top management
    will reduce the budget. However, the approach
    lead to participative management making the lower
    levels not to feel that budgets are imposed.
  • 3. Mixed approaches
  • Top management may call for budget requests and
    then use suggestions to make a budget that is
    distributed down the organization.

Budgeting for construction projects
24 June 2005
  • Construction project budgets are, ideally based
    on estimates of costs of construction resources.
    However, most budgets are set before design is
    finalized. It thus means that there will be much
    reliance on historical costs. In practice,
    typical approaches that may be used are
  • 1. Setting a fixed amount to which design should
    conform.
  • 2. Using updated historical unit cost records to
    generate overall costs which is then distributed
    to parts. The overall cost will have professional
    fees added together with other expenses.
  • 3. If the development of the design permits it,
    resource costs may be calculated and even project
    plans may be used for this purpose to make the
    budget time-related.

9
  • Important notes
  • 1.A budget depends on estimates. Budgets are good
    to the extent that estimates are good.
  • 2.Estimates are made by people with preferences.
  • 3.Budgets made early can be used to control the
    design process.

10
TENDERING BIDDING AND CONTRACTS
  • Contract strategies
  • 1. Choice of contractor,
  • 2. Method of selecting contractor,
  • 3. Organization structure to control design,
    construction and interfacing of the both,
  • 4. Selection of the content and sequencing of
    work package,
  • 5. Tender documents, including contract
    condition, risk allocation.

11
  • The tendering procedure
  • 1. Open tendering
  • 2. Selective tendering
  • 3. Serial tendering
  • 4. Negotiation tendering

12
  • 1. Open tendering
  • The project is advertised for all qualified
    contractors to submit a bid. The job can be
    advertised in several ways such as trade
    magazine, public advertisement or local
    newspapers, designers, agency bid lists,
    organization - plan service centers and national
    publications.
  • Advantage Disadvantages
  • More choice Too many bidders,
  • Definitely competitive Higher possibility of
    low bids

13
  • 2. Selective tendering
  • The project owner may decide to limit the number
    of contractors (reasonably, 6-8 contractors)
    allowed to submit bids for the project. This may
    be done by having approved lists of contractors,
    then use selectively approaching contractors
    known to the owner.

14
  • 3. Serial tendering
  • This method of tendering is for continuing work
    (which the work is done in stages).

15
  • 4. Negotiation tendering
  • This method of tendering is that a good
    contractor may be asked to tender alone for the
    job and the price negotiated with the firm. In
    other words, the owner prior accepted the
    contractor performance (and intent the contractor
    to perform the job) but still need to negotiate
    the cost of project with the contractor prior
    proceeding.

16
Approved lists of the contractors
  • The owner may have an approved list of
    contractors for project. The propose is to limit
    the number of bids received for any project and
    monitor the quality of services received from
    contractors. The process of getting into the
    approved list is known as "pre-qualification" or
    "pre-selection".

17
  • Criteria for pre-qualification
  • 1. References, reputations and past performances,
  • 2. Financial stability,
  • 3. Technical expertise.
  • Criteria for pre-selection
  • 1. References, reputations and past performances,
  • 2. Financial stability,
  • 3. Technical expertise,
  • then add some additional criteria such as
  • 4. Status of current work program,
  • 5. Project-specific criteria.
  • In many instances, the two procedures are
    referred to as "pre-qualification".

18
  • Disadvantages of pre-qualification
  • 1. The need to continuously update information in
    changing market situation,
  • 2. Indiscriminate distribution of company
    secrets,

19
  • Decision to tender
  • A good contractor does not need to tender for
    every job available in the market. The decision
    to tender is based on two (2) major
    considerations as follows

20
1. Information supplied
  • 1.1 The name of the job,
  • 1.2 The name of client and designers,
  • 1.3 The name of any consultants with supervisory
    duties,
  • 1.4 Location of site,
  • 1.5 A general description of the work,
  • 1.6 The approximate cost range of the project,
  • 1.7 Details of any nominated sub-contractors/supp
    lier,
  • 1.8 The form of contract to be used,
  • 1.9 The procedure to be adopted in examining
    bids,
  • 1.10 Whether contract is to be under seal or
    under hand,
  • 1.11 Anticipated date of possession of site,
  • 1.12 The period of completion of the works,
  • 1.13 The duration of the tender period,
  • 1.14 The period for which the tender is to
    remain open,
  • 1.15 The anticipated value of liquidated damage
    (if any),
  • 1.16 Details of bond requirements (if any),
  • 1.17 Any particular conditions relating to the
    contract.

21
2. Company consideration
  • 2.1 The company's current workload, turnover and
    recovery of overheads,
  • 2.2 The company's financial resources,
  • 2.3 The availability of resources to undertake
    the job,
  • 2.4 Type of work,
  • 2.5 Location of the contract,
  • 2.6 The identity of the client or promoter and
    his/her representatives,
  • 2.7 A detailed examination of the contract
    documents.
  • If the company decides to tender, an of
    cost is prepared and a tender submitted in
    accordance with owner's requirements. Normally,
    estimate preparation will only be done after
    through "site investigation".

22
Estimating process
  • The following steps describe the process of
    producing a cost estimate by the contractor as a
    basis for tender submittal
  • 1. Decision to tender,
  • 2. Programming the estimate,
  • 3. Collection and calculation of cost information
  • 3.1 Labour,
  • 3.2 Plant,
  • 3.3 Materials,
  • 3.4 Sub-contractors,

23
  • 4. Project study
  • 4.1 Drawings,

    the site,
  • 4.2.5 A description of the access to the site,
  • 4.2.6 Topographic details of the site,
  • 4.2.7 A description of the facilities available
    for the disposal of soil,

  • The cost of work to be included in the estimates
    are reported to senior management in cost reports
    containing the following details
  • 1. Main contractor's labour,
  • 2. Main contractor's plant allocated to rates and
    in preliminaries,

  • PROJECT DELIVERY SYSTEMS FOR CONSTRUCTION
    PROJECTS
  • Project delivery system is an organization which
    assigns specific responsibilities and authorities
    to people and organizations, and which defines
    relationships of the various elements in the
    construction of a project. There are four (4)
    basic project delivery systems

29
1. The engineering-contractor (E-C) system
  • in which responsibility for engineering,
    materials acquisition and construction are
    assigned to one responsible organization.
    Sometimes E-C is referred to as "turn key
    system". Owner will usually that there is no
    overall project manager that can speak for both
    engineering and construction.
  • Advantages
  • 1) One responsible contract for the owner with
    materials acquisition and construction closely
    coordinated with engineering,
  • 2) Moderate owner participation,
  • 3) Improved construction completion date over
    the EC system,
  • 4) Improved costs and quality by liaison
    utilization without contractual problems and
    delay of project completion.
  • Disadvantages
  • 1) Inability to establish form project cost in
    the early stages of construction,
  • 2) More problems in labour relations for a large
    national operator as opposed to a local
    contractor,
  • 3) Only fair "checks and balances" on the E-C
    apply in contrast with separate contracts for
    engineering and construction,
  • 4) The problem of controlling project cost,
    particularly in monitoring accumulated cost as
    construction progresses and projecting final cost
    from monitoring effort.

30
2. The engineering-plus-contractor (EC) system
  • in which engineering is assigned to one
    organization and after all engineering is
    completed, material acquisition and construction
    are assigned to another organization, during the
    period when engineering is in progress, there is
    a direct relationship between the owner and the
    engineer, at that time, no contractor is
    involved, when engineering is completed and a
    construction contract is in effect, there will be
    direct and responsible relationships between the
    owner and the contractor and between the engineer
    and the contractor, the relationship between the
    owner and the engineer will still be maintained.
  • Advantages
  • 1) An accepted historically supports system with
    legal and contract precedents well established,
  • 2) Provision of good checks and balances between
    the owner, engineer and contractor,
  • 3) Determination of project cost before
    construction contracts are let.
  • Disadvantages
  • 1) Construction expertise does not benefit design
    (minimal E-C liaison),
  • 2) The longest project completion time,
  • 3) Maximum owner participation,
  • 4) Greater coordinating and administrative costs
    on the part of the owner in most cases.

31
3. The professional construction manager (CM)
system
  • in which a competent construction manager
    with no vested interests in design or
    construction brings the practical construction
    viewpoint to bear during the design phase and
    using phased construction, provide overall
    management for all construction elements,
    professional construction manager as a focal
    point for the relationships of the three (3)
    basic elements, these relationships persist
    during the entire life of the project, the
    professional construction manager has had an
    important role in the development and
    presentation of the engineering design on the
    basis of his contribution to construction
    practicability, suitability and cost, and will
    also have strong voice in the interpretation of
    engineering design as well as provide an
    excellent control in times of rapidly changing
    costs and economic uncertainty,
  • Advantages
  • 1) Application of special construction skills
    with no conflict of interest (excellent E-C
    liaison),
  • 2) Moderate owner participation,
  • 3) Independent evaluation of costs, schedules and
    construction performance,
  • 4) Good coordination of engineering and
    construction,
  • 5) Minimal time for project completion,
  • 6) Best system to construct a project during a
    period of rapidly changing costs and economic
    uncertainty,
  • 7) Application to any project delivery system if
    function is clearly defined.
  • Disadvantages
  • 1) Usually no firm project cost establishment in
    the early stages of construction,
  • 2) Another layer of responsibility and
    administrative cost,
  • 3) Forcing of the owner or his agent into the
    position of referee in settling differences
    between construction elements,
  • 4) Lack of fiscal responsibility on part of
    professional construction manager.

32
4. The professional specification (PS) system
  • in which a lump-sum contract is placed with
    one organization which provides a complete
    "turnkey project", including engineering,
    materials and construction on the basis of a
    performance-type specification, in this system,
    the engineer is chosen by the contractor on the
    basis of his special knowledge and experience
    relating to the project and to the construction
    methods to be used, thus, there is a direct
    relationship to the construction and engineering
    but "none" between the owner and engineer.
  • Advantages
  • 1) Lowest possible cost and excellent time of
    completion,
  • 2) Determination of project cost before
    construction contract is let,
  • 3) Minimum owner participation,
  • 4) One responsible contract for the entire
    project,
  • 5) Provides economical variation in details of
    construction without affecting performance of
    finished project.
  • Disadvantages
  • 1) Details of construction sometimes causing
    personal dissatisfaction,
  • 2) Unsatisfactory or barely satisfactory
    completed project performance may be occurred,
  • 3) Limited chance for owner to select most
    acceptable details of construction or equipment,
  • 4) Limited application except for highly
    specialized or standard designs.

33
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
  • A contract is an agreement between two (2) or
    more parties for a specific purpose. For the
    specific case of construction, it is an agreement
    between the owner and the contractor to get a
    facility built. However, there may be other
    contracts in a construction contracts such as the
    contract between a supplier/sub-contractor and
    the main contractor.

34
  • Conditions for contracts
  • 1. Consideration (the purposed obligation between
    both parties) "Contract cannot be signed for
    nothing".
  • 2. Meeting of minds
  • Both parties have the same "objectives" to enter
    the contract.
  • 3. Intention to enter into binding agreement
  • Each party has a willingness to enter the
    contract.

35
  • Entering into a contract usually progresses
    through three (3) stages
  • 1. Invitation to treat
  • A first party (A) makes an invitation to another
    party (B) to consider entering into a contract
    for a stated purpose. In a construction contract,
    the owner usually invites contractors to bid by
    making bidding documents available to them.
  • 2. Offer
  • Party B having throughly considered the
    conditions attached to A's invitation, may decide
    to act on the invitation by making an offer. For
    instance, the contractor may decide to submit a
    bid and by the bid, he offers to build for a
    price and is at liberty to state his conditions.
  • 3. Acceptance
  • Party A concludes the contract by accepting B's
    offer. A contract is then signed between the two
    parties and the work, in the case of
    consideration, executed according to the contract
    conditions.

36
Four (4) basic type of construction contracts
  • 1. Lump-sum contract
  • Lump sum contract, is sometimes referred to as
    "fixed cost contract" which the contract price is
    stated as a total sum of the project. This is
    based on the estimates of costs by the contractor
    and addition to cover profit and risk. It is
    assumed that the contract work will be undertaken
    for that price. It is the contractor's
    responsibility to estimate costs carefully, and
    ensure that construction costs on site are well
    calculated for prompt payments.
  • This method can be applied only in case that the
    scope of work is clearly defined. In other words,
    design drawings and all the related documents
    such as specification are completed and
    available. In practice, this method is suitable
    for the project which construction period is
    relatively short (say ? 1 year).
  • Price Cost Markup (profit, tax, overhead,
    risk)

37
  • 2. Time-materials contract
  • The contractor undertakes the job, the owner pays
    for construction costs and "adds" a fee for
    management by the contractor. It is necessary to
    have a reputable and efficient contractor who
    will undertake detailed accounting for this
    contract. The contract type is very good when
    work must be started early of time is the
    critical issue and for construction of
    specialized projects.
  • Time-materials contract, is sometimes referred to
    as "cost plus contracts" comprise four (4)
    different categories
  • 2.1 Cost plus fixed fee,
  • Price Cost Specified amount of fee,
  • 2.2 Cost plus fluctuated fee
  • Price Cost Amount of fee depending on
    fluctuation of construction cost,
  • 2.3 Cost plus percentage fixed fee,
  • Price Cost Percent fixed fee,
  • 2.4 Cost plus percentage fluctuated fee
  • Price Cost Percent fluctuated fee.

38
  • 3. Guaranteed-maximum-price contract
  • The contractor agrees to undertake the project
    for a fixed price (X) and also gives a guarantee
    that a ceiling price will not be exceeded unless
    the owner makes further additions to the work.
    Good management by the contractor is crucial to
    successful application of this type of contract.
  • In guaranteed-maximum-price contract, the owner
    gets savings while the contractor takes the risk.
  • Price Fixed price with a guarantee that a
    ceiling price will not be exceeded unless the
    owner makes further additions to the work.

39
  • 4. Management contract
  • A contractor takes over the responsibility of
    management for a contract. He/she may or may not
    execute part of the work himself/herself but has
    overall responsibility to plan and supervise
    construction work, approve changes, budget and
    control the execution of the project.

40
Build-operate-transfer (BOT) project and contract
  • Build-operate-transfer were developed a means for
    involving private developers in government
    infrastructures projects. Many developing
    countries now see this approach as the best way
    to provide basic infrastructures. transit system.
  • Arrangement of BOT projects
  • 1. Build
  • 1.1 Inception and Concessionaire,
  • 1.2 Design,
  • 1.3 Management of project and implementation,
  • 1.4 Carrying out the procurement,
  • 1.5 Construction (build the project),
  • 1.6 Finance (getting loan and debt services),
  • 2. Operate
  • 2.1 Management and operation,
  • 2.2 Maintenances,
  • 2.3 Delivery of product and/or services,
  • 2.4 Receive delivery payment,
  • 3. Transfer
  • Handover in operating condition at the end of
    contract period to the responsible sector/agency.

41
  • Forms of contracts
  • Forms of contract usually follow the type of
    contract. However, a form may be prepared by
    different organizations. Contract forms can be
    classified under the followings
  • 1. International forms, for example, FIDIC,
  • 2. Local forms,
  • 3. Company/organization forms.
  • Forms of contract need specific tailoring to suit
    project situations.

42
  • Award of contract
  • Most construction contracts are awarded on the
    basis of competitive bidding. A contract is
    usually awarded to the "lowest responsible
    bidder" (or "lowest responsive bidder"). Nearly
    all public contracts use this approach.
  • The owner makes decision regarding responsibility
    after the bid has been opened. The lowest
    responsible bidder has been defined as "the
    lowest bidder whose offer best responds in
    quality, fitness and capacity to the particular
    requirements of the proposed work".

43
  • The owner may request qualification information
    to be submitted with bids or undertake
    pre-qualification of contractors. Followings may
    be included as criteria for judging
    irresponsibility
  • 1. Default on previous contract,
  • 2. Proof of dishonesty,
  • 3. Past difficulties in completing projects on
    time,
  • 4. Reputation for uncooperativeness and
    non-standard practices.
  • The surety's recommendation may be relied upon
    for judging responsibility. The surety, for the
    purpose of issuing bonds will consider the
    followings
  • 1. Finances,
  • 2. Experience record,
  • 3. Other qualifications.
  • The chosen contractor is issued a "notice of
    award" which is forwarded with information on how
    and when the contract will be signed. The notice
    sets forth the conditions of award in form of a
    letter.

44
  • Letter of intent
  • In some cases, the owner may want the contractor
    to start working before contracts can be signed.
    A letter of intent is issued by the owner to the
    contractor a evidence that there is intention to
    enter a legal relation. The letter will also
    state the limits of liability as well as the
    types of work that the contractor should begin.

45
  • The contract documents
  • The contract defines exactly and explicitly the
    rights and obligations of each party to the
    contract. Construction contracts are
    traditionally lengthier than other commercial
    contracts because of the unique nature of the
    product or service.
  • The essential documents that make up the
    construction contracts are as follows
  • 1. General conditions,
  • 2. Supplementary conditions,
  • 3. Technical specifications,
  • 4. Drawings,
  • 5. Addenda (which are others documents/things
    needed to be included),
  • 6. Agreement.

46
  • Advertisement, invitation for bids, instructions
    to bidders and proposal are preliminary to the
    contract but are usually included by reference.
    Performance and payment bonds may also be
    considered as part of the documents.
  • The documents collectively define what is
    intended by the contracting parties. A person
    should read before signing as failure to do so
    does not excuse one from the contract.
  • Standard forms of contracts are in general use
    because contractors prefer documents and terms
    with which they are familiar.

47
  • The agreement
  • The agreement is specifically designed to
    formalize the contract. It is the single
    instrument that brings together the contract
    segments by reference and functions for the
    formal execution of the contract. It presents a
    condensation of the contract elements, stating
    the work to be done and the price to be paid for
    it, and providing suitable spaces for the
    signatures of the parties. The agreement usually
    contains clauses not in the conditions
    (supplementary clauses) such as the completion
    time of the project, liquidated damages, penalty,
    particulars concerning the payments to the
    contractor and that list the contract documents.

48
  • The agreement may be a standard form or specially
    prepared for that purpose.
  • Types of construction contracts shall be as
    follow
  • 1. The lump-sum contract,

CONSTRUCTION INSURANCE
  • Construction harzards
  • Discussion on accidents in construction has shown
    that construction is a hazadous undertaking. The
    contractor therefore, needs to protect
    himself/herself against liabilities that may be
    incurred through accidents, strikes, etc to
    prevent ruinous financial losses.
  • Liabilitiy for accidents can devolve on the owner
    or architect/engineer as well as on the main
    contractor and sub-contractors. Contracts
    normally, require the contractor to protect the
    owner against such liabilities. Thus, the
    contractor is often required to protect others as
    well as himself/herself.

51
  • Insurance policy
  • An insurance policy is a conditional contract in
    which the insurer promise for a consideration, to
    assume financial responsibility for a "specific"
    loss or liability. It is a legal document
    containing many provisions pertaining to the loss
    against which it affords protection.
  • The law of insurance is very close to law of
    contracts. Each country of state will have laws
    regulating insurance practice.
  • A loss suffered by the contractor as a result of
    own deliberate actions cannot be recorded under
    the insurance policy. His/her negligence will not
    invalidate the policy. Premiums are usually paid
    before policies take effect and the contractor
    may only claim to the extent of loss.
  • An insurance firm may either be organized as a
    stock company or as a mutual company. In stock
    companies, ownership is vested in the
    stockholders. In mutual companies, policy holders
    constitute the members of the insurance company
    or association.

52
  • Contract requirements
  • A standard contract normally requires the
    contractor to provide certain convergences such
    as followings
  • workmen's compensation insurance,
  • contractor's public liability and property
    damage insurance,
  • contingent liability insurance.
  • Property insurance and owner's liability
    insurance may be made the responsibility of
    owners or contractors. Special insurances may
    also be required depending on the perceived risks
    of the project.

53
  • Legal requirements
  • Workmen's compensation, mortor vehicle,
    unemployment and social security insurance and
    others may be required by the law. As such, the
    contractor has to provide these insurances
    whether or not they are included in the contract.
  • The main contractor has a contingent liability
    for the action of sub-contractors.

54
  • Analysis of insurance risks
  • It is not economical for the contractor to carry
    all insurances available, otherwise, too much
    premiums will be paid. For insurable risks, the
    cost of premiums must be balanced against the
    "likely" loss.
  • Careful planning and sticking to the rules in
    construction may minimize the need for insurance.
    Calculated risks may be taken rather than
    providing insurance, for examples, working near
    existing/old structures, piling, water damage,
    etc.

55
  • Factors to be considered
  • In arriving at a decision to what to insure and
    what costs to pay, following factors have to be
    considered.
  • 1) The obligation under the contract for loss or
    damage to the work and injury or damage to third
    parties.
  • 2) The probabilities of loss inherent in the type
    of project.
  • 3) The geographical location of the project.
  • 4) Exposure to specific perils such as
    earthquake, flood, etc.
  • 5) Whether major parts of the work are to be done
    by sub-contrcators.
  • 6) The comparative cost of a full insurance
    program versus self-insurance and.or deductible
    forms of insurance.
