Selection of a contractor in most cases occurs through tenders. With this form of selection, competition is very high, because the cost of estimates and the literacy of its preparation are of great importance.
The estimate is a preliminary calculation of the cost of construction, commissioning and other works, taking into account overhead costs, estimated profits, wages and other costs that the customer will have to pay
As a rule, the cost estimate is handled by a specialist with a good regulatory framework, as well as competent in terms of the market value of materials and services.
Considering inflation and the fact that some work can be done for more than one month, the estimate may contain a note about the possibility of price adjustment (for example, the percentage or the range in absolute values).
A unified estimate form does not exist, but the document must comply with the standards of office work, with the number, date of preparation, address and references to the project, as well as the data for sighting, in the header. The estimated part is a table indicating the value of the list of services, materials and equipment.
After sighting by both parties and recording in the register of internal documentation, the estimate becomes an integral part of the contract.
Specialists of WestMedGroup will help to make estimates for design and survey work, in particular for measuring and survey work, construction and installation work: new construction, major and current repairs, reconstruction of buildings, as well as estimates for commissioning.
The cost of budgeting is calculated in different ways, which depend on the total amount of the project and the volume of construction. There is no single approved method, therefore, the methods for determining the cost of estimates are agreed by the parties in advance. An experienced estimator can pre-name the amount of the project, but the customer is always given a detailed miscalculation for each position. The method of payment for each position in some regions of Russia is recognized as obsolete and the cost of budgeting is determined as a percentage of construction and installation work, or of general production costs, which are determined individually. Cost estimates for square meters of the object depends on the cost of these meters, and this method is convenient for complex buildings.
The cost of the estimate also depends on the urgency, completeness of the source data and, of course, the amount of work, so in each case it is necessary to consider the working conditions individually. In the particular case, the estimate is an open document and is discussed by the customer and compiler step by step. A closed estimate with final amounts usually participates in the competition. The third option - the state order - already contains numbers, which the estimator needs to meet.
