Introduction to Estimating for Construction Introduction to Estimating for Construction Students and professionals encountering estimating for the fi rst time need an approach- able introduction to its principles and techniques, which is up to date with current practice. This textbook explains both the traditional techniques and best practice in early contractor involvement situations, within the framework of modern construction procurement. As well as introducing different estimating techniques, it includes: • the nature of costs in construction from a cost of resources approach; • modern tendering procedures, and the stages of development of construction projects; • how to convert an estimate into a formal tender and then into a contract; • simple numerical examples of estimates; • estimating and cost analysis during the construction project; • summaries and discussion questions in every chapter. This is an easy-to-read introduction to building estimating for undergraduate students, or anyone working in a quantity surveying or construction commercial management role who needs a quick reference. Brian Greenhalgh FRICS FCIOB FQSi is a contract manager currently engaged by a major client organisation in the MENA region. He was formerly a principal lecturer in quantity surveying and construction project management at Liverpool John Moores University with responsibility for postgraduate programmes in quantity surveying and construction project management.

Foreword In January 2011, the sister book Introduction to Building Procurement was published by Routledge, which I co-authored with Dr Graham Squires of the University of the West of England. As Danny Myers quite correctly pointed out in the Foreword to that book, it had gone through a long period of gestation, but the fi nal product was a notable contribution from someone in the twilight of his career! I take this as a compliment as it is everybody’s duty at this stage in their career to pass on any acquired knowledge, learning and, dare I say, wisdom. A lot happened following publication of that book. In February 2011 I was engaged by an international consultancy on the new Tripoli International Airport project in Libya, when a major ‘civil commotion’ broke out which was well documented in the international media. After almost two days of tense waiting, we were fi nally evacuated by the British government.

  • Procuring Innovation in Construction a Review of Models, Processes and Practices
    Procuring Innovation in Construction a review of models, processes and practices An initiative of the: A note from the BC Construction Association With the publication of this follow-up to the Construction Innovation Study (published in 2016), the BC Construction Association (BCCA) is pleased to continue its leadership role in the discussion of innovation in BC’s construction industry. As a trusted representative of the industrial, commercial, and institutional construction sector in our province, the BCCA has a policy to equally support the use of all building materials. We recognize that there is innovation in many assemblies and products, including wood, steel and concrete. Construction procurement is a major focus for public owners such as Ministries, school districts, and health authorities, as well as for private owners. As international competition for large projects intensifies, true innovation calls for a shift from a culture of “lowest bid” to a focus on quality and “whole life” value. “Procuring Innovation: a review of models, processes and practices” is a significant step forward in that shift. We hope you will find this paper informative and inspiring. © 2017. BC Construction Association.

  • Legal Aid Contracting
    Legal Aid Contracting Equality, Procurement and Competition FOREWORD We published research on legal aid contracting and international comparisons in July this year, to help members and others interested to find out more about the likely impact of contracting proposals. This, our second research paper, looks to build on that understanding by outlining the legal and economic context in which contracting for criminal legal aid might operate. This research paper does not outline any policy view around legal aid contracting. The aim is simply to indicate some of the issues that may arise should contracting be adopted. A Scottish Government consultation paper on criminal legal aid contracting is expected shortly and we will be surveying members for their views as part of our engagement on this issue. In the meantime, we are grateful for the feedback that we have already received on this work and this issue and welcome further views.

These involve 1) deciding whether to bid, 2) calculating the total price, and 3) breaking down the total price into the items of the bill of quantities or the schedule of payments to optimise contractor cash flows. To define factors that affect the decision to bid, the authors rely upon literature on the subject and put forward that multi-criteria methods are applied to calculate a single measure of contract attractiveness (utility value). An attractive contract implies that the contractor is likely to offer a lower price to increase chances of winning the competition. The total bid price is thus to be interpolated between the lowest acceptable and the highest justifiable price based on the contract attractiveness. With Corresponding author: the total bid price established, the next step is to split it between the items of the schedule of payments. A linear programming model is proposed for this purpose.

The process of allocating contracts to suppliers is generally a complex process involving multiple decision makers processing large amounts of information. Minimizing project costs while meeting stringent specification and schedule requirements is especially difficult. In most cases, procurement processes do not consider combinatorial (or package) bids from suppliers. Allowing combinatorial bidding in the procurement process has been shown to reduce costs in other industries.
