Construction Industry:
Before discussing project players we should be familiar with: Contractor: The term Contractor comes from legal agreement. There will be a legal agreement between the owner and the builder. A contractor may be a builder but a builder may or may not be a contractor. Contract: A construction contract is defined as, An agreement between two parties such that it is enforceable by the law and must be agreed Contract is a negotiation between owner and contractor for the cost control.

Project Players:
i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) vii) viii) ix) x) i) Owner OR Client Construction Manager General Contractor Sub Contractors OR Specialty Contractors Designer OR Architect Engineer Insurance Companies Banks Suppliers Public Construction Labor Force Owner: Owner is also called client. Owner is the person who actually arranges finance for particular project. Owner is the real instinct who has to launch idea. Owner may be a person or Government. Construction Manager (CM): CM is the person who actually coordinates the construction process on behalf of the owner. Construction manager is not common in Pakistan, usually in foreign countries client assigns construction work to a CM who deals and manages all the things related to construction. General Contractor (GC): GC is a person who actually execute the contract, he actually negotiate the contract with client. Following are the duties of GC: a) Assure the work to be completed on time he specified. b) He must use Tool & Plant (T&P) at the site, which he has specified at the time of contract. c) He must arrange labor force. Sub Contractor: Sub contractor is also known as Specialty contractor. They are actually the

For example for earth work, this can not be measured accurately before time. The payment is given at the given excavated amount of earth. Cost plus Contract: This contract is used in the situation where it is not possible either for the owner or contractor to predict the cost. Cost Plus Contract is of three types, a) Cost plus fixed fee (Owner Prefer) b) Cost Plus Percentage c) Innovation & Trend (used for heavy work e.g. highways, railways etc) Innovations & Trends OR A+B Contract: This contract is used in road construction, railway lines, etc

Contracting Methods: These methods will facilitate the owner/employer regarding the procurement of contract. There are two contracting methods, i) Design Build ii) Design Build Operate i) Design Build: It is a contracting method in which contractor will design, build and execute the project himself. Contractor becomes wholly responsible for design and execution of project. Design build is usually a cost plus a guarantee minimum price (GMP). Design Build Operate: It is a contracting method in which contractor will design, build and operate the project after completion himself. For example, Toll plazas on highways which in return generates revenue, water treatment and purification systems etc.

ii)

Types of Bonds: i) ii) iii) Bid Bond: This bond assures that low bidder will accept the contract if offered and will submit the required payment and performance bond. Payment Bond: This bond guarantee's that contractor will pay sub-contractors and suppliers. Performance Bond: This bond guarantee's that contractor will complete the work in accordance with plan and specifications.

Criteria Of Contract:
i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) There must be mutual agreement or meeting of mind. There must be an offer. The offer must be acceptable. There must be consideration for the service performed.

Some Important Terms Related To Tender:


i) ii) Bid Opening: stands for the opening and tabulation of bid at the prescribed time and place. Addenda: Any change to the tender document after they are released for tendering actually requires issuance of addenda. This formal document changes original tender or bid document and becomes the part of original tender package. Addenda may not be issued within about five days of tender opening unless tender approval is also extended accordingly. Owner/Employer: Owner means the person and legal successor entitled to such a person, e.g. engineer. Engineer is only representative to contractor or sub contractor. Letter of Acceptance: means the formal acceptance by the employer of the tender. Commencement Date: means date upon which contractor receive the notice to commence the project. Notice To Proceed: It is a document that establishes the contractors right to have access to the owners property. It is issued after the contract between the owner and general contractor is executed. It establishes the official start date of the contract and also the completion date of the project.

Cost: Cost is the actual expenditure incurred. Amount: Amount is any numerical figure which can be evaluated or it is a numerical value prior to expenditure.

Estimate:
An estimate is an anticipated or probable amount of construction which is usually made before the execution of the actual construction work.

Estimation:
Estimation is the scientific way of working out the approximate amount of an engineering project prior to the execution of the work. Some important points about estimation: i) Estimated amount is totally different from calculation of exact cost after the completion of the project. ii) Estimate should not differ more than 5% to 10% of actual cost of the project.

Compiled By Muhammad Sajid Nazir (2005-CE-38)

LECTURE NOTES CIVIL ENGINEERING PRACTICE iii) Estimation requires thorough knowledge of construction procedure, labor and construction materials. Estimation requires: a) Drawings b) Specifications c) Rates

a) Drawings: Drawings are the mean by which designer convey the physical, quantitative and visual description of the project to the contractor. Drawings are the two dimensional representation of physical structure that conveys the objective of the owner. The drawings which are normally used are: a) Architectural drawings (A-I) b) Electrical drawings (E-I) c) Mechanical drawings (M-I) d) Structural drawings (HVAC) b) Specifications: It is also known as technical provision, they are written instrument to be used in conjunction with the drawings, and so, together the drawings and the specifications fully describes and defines the requirements of contract to include the quality that is to be achieved.

LECTURE NOTES CIVIL ENGINEERING PRACTICE are published by the standing rates committee for the Punjab that provides schedule rates for the preparation and concentration of an estimate. Tender Price: Tender price will be the estimated amount through these composite schedule rates (CSR) plus 20% or 30% of premium on that year will be announced on the rates. 2. Non-Scheduled Rates: Rates for those items which are encountered during execution of project and were not considered during preparation of estimate. These rates are taken in to account due to some unavoidable circumstances. 3. Item Rates: Rates which are not considered or given in composite scheduled rates but considered in estimates, bill of quantities, acceptance letter and contract.

LECTURE NOTES CIVIL ENGINEERING PRACTICE

Need for an Estimate:


Main purpose of an estimate is to know probable amount before the work is executed. The actual cost is always obtained after completion of the project. If the estimate is prepared with a lot of accuracy and with care then the estimated amount will be near to the actual cost, thats why an experienced person is employed for this purpose. Estimate will help us in following ways, i) It tells whether the project is suitable or not by considering the cost comparison. ii) The quantity of major components of the project like cement, bricks, steel, sand etc and their cost to be incurred. iii) It helps to invite tenders. iv) It helps to monitor the contractor payment record (invoicing record). v) We can also check the contractor work being executed. vi) It helps to experience the details of the work to be executed and to foresee the minor and major components of the project. vii) Estimate will serve as the basis for developing job costing system and the construction schedule. Job Costing: The job costing system compares actual cost of project (item of estimate) at specific time for particular item of estimate, this date tells which item needs more cost control during construction process. viii) It helps in preparing construction schedule prior to execution. ix) It helps to find out various activities for construction schedule, e.g. duration of work. Duration of work = Magnitude of work/Standard output(No. of labors, machines) x) The essence of an estimate consists of forecasting future events in construction process and then placing rupee value on those events. However many additional factors can also effect the future events of construction. a) Labor production b) Material availability c) Financial markets d) Weather e) Construct ability issues f) Equipment availability g) Contract types h) Ethics i) Quality issues j) Project control system k) Management ability

Qualities of good Estimator:


i) ii) iii) iv) Estimator has ability to read and interpret drawings and specifications. Estimator should have good communication skill. Estimator should have knowledge of basic mathematics. Estimator should have patience.

LECTURE NOTES CIVIL ENGINEERING PRACTICE v) Estimator should have good understanding of fields operations and procedures. vi) Estimator should have ability to visualize three dimensional projects from looking at drawings. vii) Estimator should have ability to identify the risks and then neutralize as much as possible. viii) Estimator should have good organizational ability to communicate the estimate in logical and clear presentation. ix) Estimator should have ability to produce construction schedule. x) Estimator should have ability to anticipate all construction steps in building projects. xi) Estimator should have good understanding, labor productivity, and equipment performance, i.e. good output ability. xii) Estimator should have understanding and ability to use the construction companys job costing system. xiii) Estimator should have ability to recognize when Construction Companys standard for estimating cost does not apply to particular line items in estimate. xiv) Estimator should have understanding of contractual relationship. xv) Estimator should have creativity and ability to think of alternate methods of constructions. xvi) Estimator should have ability to develop strategy for being successful in bidding and negotiation phase of the project. xvii) Estimator should have ability to meet deadlines and still remains calm. xviii) Estimator should have a solid load of ethics.

Types of Estimates:
Following are the types of estimates: i) Preliminary/Approximate/Rough cost estimate ii) Plinth area estimate iii) Cube rate estimate iv) Approximate quantity method estimate v) Detailed/Item rate Estimate vi) Revised estimate vii) Supplementary estimate viii) Supplementary revised estimate ix) Annual repair & maintenance estimate First four are the rough cost estimates, whereas, next five to nine are detailed estimates. i) Preliminary/Approximate/Rough cost estimate: Estimate of cost before the construction from the line planes for architectural drawings when detail and structural drawings are not prepared. Objective: These estimates are used for obtaining administrative approval from the concerning authority. Method: Average unit cost is worked out for projects of similar nature, i.e. the project under consideration. In this method average unit cost is multiplied by total quantity of present work in the same unit.

LECTURE NOTES CIVIL ENGINEERING PRACTICE e.g. a) For building cost per person b) For hospital cost per bed c) For student Hostel cot per student d) For hotels cost per person Plinth Area Estimate: Covered area of building is worked out and unit obtained is square feet. For cost per square feet of the covered area, plinth area method of estimation is most commonly adopted. This is practical and usual method of obtaining rough cost estimate. Cube Rate Estimate: In this method third dimension height is introduced and included so cube rate is established. In cube rate estimate the covered area is first calculated and then multiplied up to level of ceiling. For each floor level separate cube rate estimate is obtained. Approximate Quantity Method Estimate: In this method a linear length is used for estimation, therefore, total length of the object (wall) is calculated in running foot (m/ft). This length is then multiplied by running rate per running foot of object (wall) to get cost of the wall. In this estimate the structure is divided in to the sub-structure and super structure mostly used in roads, railways, streets, bridges etc. By using this method cost may be found in following ways: a) For roads & railways Cost/Km or Cost/miles b) For street Cost/100ft or Cost/30m c) For bridges cost/ ft. or cost/ meter of clear span* *Clear span means distance between two supports of bridge.

Example: Given that Covered area of ground floor = 10000sft. Covered area of first floor = 10000sft. Covered area of second floor = 10000sft. Covered area of third floor = 5000sft. Covered area for parking = 4000sft. (unit cost for parking is 12/sft.) Walkways + Land Scapping + Boundary wall + External services = Rs.1750000/Unit cost Rs/sft.

Detailed Estimates: Detailed estimates are prepared carefully and separately


calculating in detail the cost of various items of work that constitute the whole project, from the detailed working drawings and the specifications after the design as being finalized. If there is any mistake in rough cost estimate, then it will be eliminated in detailed cost estimate. Detailed estimates are submitted to competent authorities for obtaining technical sanction. The whole project is divided in to different items of work or activities. The quantity for each item will be calculated separately from drawing as accurately as possible. This procedure is known as taking out quantities or quantities take off.

Bill of Quantities (BOQ): The quantities for each item may be calculated and shown
in following pattern, which is known as bill of quantities. Serial No. 01 02 Description of items Brick work in 1st step Brick work in 2nd step No. 3 2 Measurements Breadth Height b b c c Quantity x y Total Quantity

LECTURE NOTES CIVIL ENGINEERING PRACTICE Cost Of Project: i) Direct Cost ii) Indirect Cost i) Direct Cost: It includes, a) Cost of Material b) Cost of Labor c) Cost of Equipment d) Cost of Construction of Site office ii) Indirect Cost: It includes, a) Head office charges b) Site Supervision c) Essential Services Duration: If we shorten the duration our direct cost will be increased and indirect cost will be reduced.

Planning And Scheduling: An exceptional effort can yield 40% cost saving
over reasonable planning and on the other hand an average project with poor planning can cost as much as 50% more than projects actual cost over reasonable planning. Planning: Planning involves the process of selecting the one method and order of work to be used on a project among all the various methods and sequences available. Project planning serves as a foundation for several related functions these functions includes estimation, scheduling and project control. Human Resource Planning: Management of all the personals in construction team from lower level (Labor, masons etc) to higher staff (project manager, site engineer etc). Planning generally involves 80% memory of historic procedures (Past experience) and 20% creative thought. Fundamentals to planning process are the chain of operations involving:i) Information search and analysis ii) Development of alternatives iii) Analysis and evolution of alternatives iv) Selection of alternatives v) Execution and feedback Scheduling: Scheduling is the determination of timing and sequences of operations in the project and their assembly to give the overall completion time. We can say that scheduling is the part of planning or it is the reflection of planning. Scheduling can be done using following method, 1. Critical Path Method: i) Activity On Arrow (AOA) ii) Activity On Node (AON)

LECTURE NOTES CIVIL ENGINEERING PRACTICE Activity: Any Process having definite start and finish or it is the work in process of project involving duration. Every activity has four events, two starting events and two ending events. Critical Activity: Activity whose events are equal is called critical activity, i.e. same EST and EFT. Activity Duration: T=Q/R Where, T = Time Q = Magnitude of work R = Production rate In other words it is the ratio of magnitude of work to the production rate. Dummy Activity: An activity having no duration but only connecting two events is called dummy activity. Float: The total float of an activity is the difference between its earliest start time and latest start time or its earliest finish time and latest finish time. Total float of an activity indicates the amount of time by which an activity may be delayed without effecting the projects scheduled completion date.
