Preface

The construction industry particularly house building is currently going through a difficult period Both clients and contractors are experiencing difficulties in financial matters due to the recent upheaval in the banking system Nevertheless small and large construction projects are still being designed and planned and the need for the preparation of accurate financial assessments in the first stages of a projectrsquos life has never been greater

Assessing the total cost of a construction project is a continuous process that commences when the client asks his professional advisors what it will cost It ends when the cheque for the release of the last portion of the retention is paid and the final account is settled

Whether a project is profitable or not can often depend on decisions taken at the first stages of its life The people who carry out this assessment bear the responsibility of deciding whether the cost information available at the time warrants spending further time and money investigating the viability of a project that is usually still at the conceptual stage

It is vital therefore that the most accurate methods of calculating the probable costs of construction are used and I hope that the information in this book will help clients developers architects engineers and surveyors involved in this process

Time spent on the appraisal of projects that do not proceed is not always wastedmdashlessons can be learnt that will help the next project The greater waste lies in allowing jobs to proceed without the people making the key decisions having the best cost information available to them

It is not possible to provide totally accurate cost data in the early stages of a jobmdashonly a historical analysis of the final account can do that But guidelines can be set out that should allow the client commissioning the work to help make the right decision before becoming contractually committed to spending large sums of money on land purchase professional fees and construction costs

On a well-managed project the cost plan will be monitored continuously as changes are made to the original design or for other reasons If the first-stage budget is based on reliable cost data the project will have a better chance of being completed within budget

I have received a great deal of help in the preparation of this book and would like to thank those suppliers and contractors who gave me their time and support The information in Estimating Data on civil engineering outputs is based on data in Sponrsquos Civil Engineering and Highways Price Book 2009 edited by Davis Langdon

Preface vii

Although every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information neither the Publishers nor I can accept any type of liability resulting from the use of the contents

On a more positive note I would welcome constructive criticism of ways to make the contents of this book more relevant to the changing needs of the construction industry for future editions

Introduction

This is the third edition of Sponrsquos First Stage Estimating Handbook and it is aimed at all those members of the construction team who are involved in assessing construction costs during the early stages of the development of a project There are many factors that can affect the profitability of a job over which the construction team has little or no control

It is important therefore that areas that can be influenced by good management skills should be given special attention This applies particularly to the first stage estimating process when a solid base of the projectrsquos financial position can be established

The contents have been laid out in the order that most projects are financially assessed The quality of the cost information however is almost wholly dependent upon the quality of the specification and the design information that is available at that stage of the appraisal

Chapter 1 lists square metre rates for building work for a wide variety of building types The rates are expressed in a range based on historical costs and should provide a client with a broad indication of likely costs

Chapter 2 fulfils the same function but the costs are given in unit costs eg the cost per hospital bed or per pupil in a school This method of assessment can be surprisingly accurate but should always be backed up by more detailed methods of cost appraisal

Chapter 3 contains elemental cost analyses of 32 different types of buildings These analyses provide data on the percentage and cost breakdown of 24 elements for each building and are a useful tool in identifying imbalances between the elements of different buildings

Chapter 4 includes unit rates for building landscaping civil engineering electrical and alteration work Where possible composite rates are displayed that combine several different descriptions to provide a single rate for separate but linked activities For example excavation concrete and brickwork up to DPC level are combined to produce a single linear metre rate for strip foundations

The use of composite rates can save valuable time in the preparation of the cost plan Where item descriptions do not lend themselves to be combined with others they are listed as principal rates

Chapter 5 provides indices reflecting historical costs of construction costs and tender prices

Chapter 6 deals with property insurance and contains two examples of re-building costs for insurance purposes

Chapter 7 sets out the cost of employing professional advisors whose fees are now negotiable and not mandatory

Chapter 8 includes a list of useful addresses Chapter 9 contains estimating data that may be useful when preparing a first stage

estimate

Introduction ix

At this stage of a project the information available is limited and although the brief from a client can be minimal an approximation of costs must still be prepared Here is a simple example

It is proposed to construct a single story distribution warehouse (shell only) size 6000 square metres in the South West of England An outline plan has been prepared showing parking areas and a road layout It is known that local contractors are operating at almost full capacity so tender levels are expected to be high The work would commence in April 2010 with a nine month construction period

3 Elemental costs

This chapter contains elemental cost breakdowns for building and electrical work The building work is comprised of 38 different types in 8 categories each building broken down into 24 cost elements

The cost data should be used with caution because imbalances can occur in the use of elemental costs in isolation The figures are an amalgam of the costs for a range of buildings in each category and represent a broad indication of costs rather than an accurate statement of detail

It should be remembered that the application of the information in this chapter is only one stage in the preparation of a budget estimate for a project It is hoped that any major discrepancies will be highlighted by a comparison between the following detailed breakdowns and specific projects

Nevertheless the information provided should be an invaluable tool in assessing the relative values of elements in different buildings The tables will be particularly useful in the early cost planning process and also in the evaluation of tenders

The costs cover building work only and exclude the costs of drainage external works contingency sums professional fees and VAT Due to rounding off there may be some minor discrepancies in individual elemental costs and totals The figures are based on costs prevailing in the first quarter of 2000 The following buildings are included

4Composite and principal rates

When the appraisal of a project moves beyond the square metre stage it is likely that the client will commission a cost plan to be prepared This entails taking off rough quantities and applying global rates to produce an approximate cost of the project These rates are the result of combining various item descriptions and costs into what are called composite rates

Not all items can be combined with others to provide composite rates so principal rates are also included if their value is significant to the cost plan The following rates are presented under headings in the same order as the elements in Chapter 3

BUILDING WORK

PRELIMINARIES

These will usually be assessed by referring to the needs of each particular project but a figure of 75 to 125 of the construction costs is normal depending upon the nature of the project

CIVIL ENGINEERING WORK

Individual rates in civil engineering work cannot be compared to those in building because the value of the General Items can be as high as 50 compared to about 10 in building work This is mainly due to the freedom of civil engineering estimators to prepare bids to reflect their view of the timing and sequence of the works that is usually not available to their building counterparts

So when preparing first stage estimates in civil engineering it is important that the level of the General Items is assessed first so that the level of pricing of the individual rates can be adjusted accordingly

Dredging

It is difficult to provide accurate cost information on dredging Various methods can be used including cutter-suction dredger barge-mounted excavator or grab hopper The depth of water disposal arrangements and tidal conditions are all key factors affecting costs

The cost per cubic metre of dredging solid material should be in the range of pound6 to pound8 per cubic metre but specialist advice should be obtained in the early stages of preparing the budget estimate

5 Indices and regional variations

Indices

Indices have been used for many years in the construction industry as a tool in the comparison of costs and tender prices between different periods of time They are essential when projecting cash flow forecasts on projects that may over run or for planning medium- to long-term projects where trends from historical cost databases can be identified and projected forwards

There are several indices available and the most appropriate must be selected to suit the project under consideration The main set of indices in the building industry is produced by the Building Cost Information Services (BCIS) and is published by the RICS The civil engineering industry sometimes use a price adjustment formula (usually called the Baxter formula after its originator) on contracts with a long construction period The formula is based on fewer headings than the BCIS and covers eleven categories

Construction indices usually present data under two headings construction costs and tender prices Construction costs represent the amounts paid by contractors for labour materials plant and other costs incurred in running a business Tender prices are the sums accepted by clients for the erection of projects and include profit and overheads

Tender prices tend to increase when there is a large volume of work available and decrease during lean periods In difficult times contractors may submit tenders at cost (or even below cost) in order to obtain work to keep the work force together and keep the plant occupied

Tender prices are compiled from accepted tenders based on statistics produced in quarterly periods and consolidated into annual figures The following table lists the construction costs and tender prices between 1984 and 2009mdashthe figures for 2008 and 2009 are estimated

6Property insurance

When preparing first stage estimates it is important that the fullest possible financial picture is presented to the client to enable him to make a decision on whether to proceed with the project or not

A calculation must be done for insurance purposes to assess the rebuilding costs if the building was damaged by fire or some other cause

The easiest way to achieve this is by using the square metre prices in Chapter 1 as a base The appropriate rate should be multiplied by the area of the building to be insured The resultant figure must then be adjusted by both the indices and regional variation factors in Chapter 5

The insurance cover must also include for the demolition of the damaged building (not just clearing away debris but grubbing up existing foundations and basements) and professional fees to plan and supervise the work of reconstruction Here is an example of how the calculation should be made

Example 1

Day Surgery in the East Anglia region constructed in 1982 where the original cost is unknown

7 Professional fees

The use of fee scales used to be mandatory but now clients are able to negotiate the level of fees with their professional advisers In the preparation of first stage estimates the cost of fees must be included on either an all-in fee basis for the professional team or separate fees for each discipline This chapter contains information for either method

An allowance should be made for expenses incurred in connection with the contract and VAT on professional fees should also be included The following categories of fees are included

bull architectsbull quantity surveyorsbull consulting engineersbull landscape architectsbull planningbull building regulations

Architectsrsquo fees

Details of Architectsrsquo fees are set out in lsquoEngaging an Architectrsquo and a copy can be obtained from RIBA Publications (0207 608 2375) The fees are based upon three classifications of buildings

simplemdashcar parks warehouses factories etcaveragemdashoffices retail outlets housing schools etccomplexmdashspecialist buildings hospitals laboratories etc

The work stages are set out below

Stages Proportion of fee

C Outline proposals 10ndash15

D Detailed proposals 15ndash20

E Final proposals 20

F Production information 20

G-L Tender and construction 25ndash35

The fees are assessed by applying the classification of the project to its value on a fee scale graph Extra fees may be due if the work is carried out in Stage A (Appraisal) and Stage B (Strategic Brief) or alteration work These fees would normally be charged on a time basis at an agreed rate Here are some typical examples of fees for new work

Quantity Surveyorsrsquo fees

The following examples of fees are set out in Professional Charges for Quantity Surveying Services obtainable from Surveyors Publications (01203 694757) Although Scale 36 (inclusive fees for quantity surveying services) has been abolished it is included here for general guidance

Scales 36 and 37mdashBuilding workThere are three basic categories of works

Category A complex with little repetition

Category B less complex with some repetition

Category C simple

For each category there are two types of fees

Scale 36 inclusive scale for complete services

Scale 37 itemised scale divided into pre- and post-contract services

Here are some examples of percentages and fees for varying sized projects

Consulting Engineersrsquo fees

Engineersrsquo fees are published by The Association for Consultancy and Engineering Alliance House 12 Caxton House London SW1H 0QL (tel 0207 222 6557) and copies can be obtained from them

Landscape Consultantsrsquo fees

The fees for work over the value of pound10000 are calculated in two parts Part 1 is assessed from a graph which indicates the fee percentage from 6 to 14 according to the value of the contract Part 2 is a coefficient ranging from 10 where the consultant has overall responsibility to his client for a job with a normal balance of hard and soft works

This may increase to 12 when the soft works element exceeds 50 of the landscape contract or for private contracts The coefficient may be decreased to 08 for other types of jobs such as golf courses and road landscaping Here is an example

Assume a project has a contract value of pound100000 including both hard and soft works in a new business park The fee graph shows that the percentage norm is 75 The coefficient is 12 because the soft work element exceeds 50 The job coefficient is 10 so the compounded coefficient is 10times12 The total percentage fee will be 75times12=90

The scale of fees allows for other methods of remuneration such as lump sum fees using a ceiling figure in conjunction with a time basis or having a retainer that can be reviewed after a period and paid according to the value of the actual work carried out

Similarly when only occasional work is required this can be charged on a time basis Site surveys would normally be paid on a lump sum basis of estimated time involved

Professional team all-in fees

Assessing the fees for professional teams working on a development project can be complicated due to the different methods of fee calculation adopted by the various professional bodies Worked examples of these are shown in this chapter relating to a range of contract values

Sometimes the client will prefer to deal with only one discipline and a lead professional will be appointed This firm will negotiate an overall fee for the whole team and the table below shows the effect of this arrangement The figures have been rounded off to the nearest pound1000
