Quantification & Costing Level 3 Flashcards
On the Rugby Project, how did you undertake the RIBA Stage 0 estimate?
I produced an order of cost estimate based on the functional unit of the project, utilising historic cost data from a previous project undertaken. I considered adjustments such as location and time, as the benchmarked data was from a Retail Park store in the Southern Region of England undertaken 3 years prior. As the Rugby Project was based in a Shopping Centre, I accounted for the possible restrictions associated with this such as lack of skip location and restrictions on deliveries due to Centre Management.
On the Rugby Project, what information was available at RIBA Stage 1 to enable you to compile a cost plan?
At this stage, I received the existing and proposed layouts from the client’s design team and an architectural brief dictating specification, confirmed site restrictions and required working hours.
On the Stillorgan project, you state that a schedule of works would not have been appropriate. Why was that the case?
On the Wakefield Pharmacy Project, what did the daywork rates cover?
On the Wakefield Pharmacy Project, how did you determine the OH&P uplift applied? Was it stated in the contract?
On the Wakefield Pharmacy Project, had the OH&P not been stated in the contract, how would you advise it be determined?
Can you provide an example of advising on the appropriate method of measurement?
