Task Description (What do I have to do for this assessment?)
Your client, Moatkeep Developments, has made the decision to proceed with this proposed residential development. The project is now at RIBA stage 4, and a design consultant has produced designs and specifications for the different house types.
· As the consultants with responsibility for providing cost advice to the client, CQC Consult must prepare a Bill of Quantities (BoQ) for the scheme to send out to contractors to tender for the works. As a member of the team, you are required to take off quantities and prepare a BoQ in accordance with NRM2 for Plot 1 ONLY (Appendix A).
NOTE 1: Measure the following building works ONLY: substructure, external walls, internal walls, roof and internal finishes (ceiling, wall and floor).
NOTE 2: You are not required to take off quantities for doors and windows, floors and stairs, electrical services, gas installation, water supply and drainage, bathroom and kitchen fittings as these will be carried out by the respective sub-consultant organisations. However, include these items in the BoQ as Prime Cost (PC) Sums. Include also a Preliminaries section, Dayworks section and Contingency section in your BoQ and a Summary page at the end.
NOTE 3: You are required to make reasonable assumptions for any information not provided in the specifications or drawings. Any assumptions made should be reported in a query sheet. Your submission should include a take-off list, query sheet, take-off, abstract sheet and the BoQ.
· Price all the items in your BoQ using rates you have calculated from first principles and rates from price books such as Spon’s, Laxton’s, Wessex, Hutchins, BCIS, or any other referenced source.
The following additional information is provided to you:
o Allow 20% for main contractor’s overheads (O/Hs) and profit
o Determine the construction duration for the Pembroke house type alone and use this in pricing your preliminaries
o Nominated subcontractors will execute all the works that were not measured. Allow the following Prime Cost (PC) Sums in the BoQ in respect of these works:
