PE Board Accredited: 7 PDUs COURSE BACKGROUND The construction cost estimating process is difficult and complex.
Decisions have to be taken in the face of uncertainties relating
to cost and quantities of production; the production period and
foreseeable constructional problems. The difficulties in estimating
are compounded in maintenance work due to the following distinguishing
factors of the work: The higher ‘uncertainties’ in executing and managing maintenance work has led to higher variability in cost estimates. The variability is further amplified in maintenance tenders as contractors adopt different risk management approaches and commercial considerations in bid submission. It is important that cost estimates are accurate. From an Owner’s viewpoint, the estimates form the basis of derivation of long life cycle budgets and shorter term budgets for work procurement. From a contractor’s viewpoint, the estimate will form the basis of a tender bid. For both Owners and Clients, the estimate forms the basis of approval of star rates for variations and non-standard work which often occurs in maintenance contracts. COURSE OBJECTIVES The course will provide knowledge and skills to understand the:
COURSE PROGRAMME (8.30 am – 5.30 pm) 1. Type and Nature of Maintenance Work
2. Fundaments in Cost Estimating
3. Maintenance Cost Estimating
4. Long Term Maintenance Estimates
5. Medium and Short Term Estimating
6. Estimating Spot Items and Star Rates in Maintenance Work
COURSE LEADERS Dr Quah Lee Kiang MRICS Dr Quah led the EU funded project BE4213 Condition Assessment and Maintenance Strategies for Buildings and Building Components, which among other things, sought to develop an objective building condition assessment system. This project formed part of ongoing research over the last 20 years which culminated in Dutch Standard NEN 2767 on Condition Assessment of Buildings, believed to be a ‘world first’. Dr Quah’s professional and research affiliations include
being Coordinator of the International Council for Research and
Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB) Working Commission
70 on Facilities Management and Maintenance from 1990-2000 and past
President of the Chartered Institute of Building Singapore Centre
for two terms. She is also a member of both the Royal Institution
of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Asia and Singapore Board. Dr Quah
was conferred an Honorary Fellow by Oxford Brookes University for
her work in real estate and construction education and the unusual
impact her career has had on this particular academic field in Asia. COURSE DATE AND VENUE Friday, 20 July 2012 COURSE FEES The course fee of $595.00 includes course documentation and refreshments at breaks. A group discount of 10% will apply for three or more delegates from the same organisation. COURSE ACCREDITATION AND CERTIFICATE OF ATTENDANCE The course has been approved for 7 PDU units under the PE Board Continuing Professional Development programme. Attendance certificates will be issued; they may also be suitable for meeting the CPD requirements of other relevant professional bodies not operating a CPD course accreditation system. WHO SHOULD ATTEND The course will benefit those who have a vested interest in buildings including:
CANCELLATIONS Cancellations made later than 1 week before the commencement of the course will be subjected to an administrative fee of $100.00. Substitutions can be made at any time.
