1 RICS New Rules of Measurement Order of Cost Estimating and Elemental Cost Planning Black Book Warsaw, May 20 th 2009 Introductory Seminar Iain Leyden, RICS Polska Management Board Member

2 Program - 20 th May 2009 NRM Introduction - what do the NRM cover? (30 minutes) An overview of the document s purpose Structure of the document Use of document Understanding how the NRM are linked to RIBA work stages and RICS new rules OGC Gateway processes Estimating and cost planning process as defined by the NRM (40 minutes) Overview of the types of estimates and cost plans and how they fit into the RIBA Plan of Work and OGC Gateway Process Defining the purpose of an order of cost estimate (OCE) Information Required for OCE OCE Format Defining the purpose of elemental cost planning Information Required for Formal Cost Plans (FCP) Measurement rules for Building Work Benefits of regulating cost estimating and cost planning (10 minutes) Question and Answer Session (10 minutes) of measurement Order of cost estimating and elemental cost planning

3 Purpose of NRM Best Practice Guidance and Standardizing Measurement Rules Understandable by Employer and all parties to construction project Direction on how to describe and deal with cost allowances not reflected in measurable building work Based on UK Practice with Worldwide Application

4 Structure of the Document Part 1 Places cost estimating and elemental cost planning in context of RIBA Plan of Work and the OGC Gateway Process Part 2 Describes Order of Cost Estimate and its contents, sets out rules for measurement and reporting Part 3 Describes Elemental Cost Planning, defines its constituents and how to prepare an elemental cost plan Part 4 Tabulated Rules of Measurement Appendices

27 Benefits of regulating cost estimating and cost planning Provides a common and consistent basis on which to measure areas and building works items for new works and rehabilitation works Presents a clear framework that facilitates a systematic approach to compiling cost estimates and cost plans Establishes formal cost estimating and cost planning stages that are aligned to both the RIBA Plan of Work and the OGC Gateway Process Covers modern construction methods including modular units and complete buildings Defines preliminaries that can be used for any procurement or contract strategy (including prime contracting and PFI) Defines categories of risk, dispensing with the term contingency Promotes the view that risk allowances should not be a standard percentage, but a properly considered assessment of the risk

28 Benefits of regulating cost estimating and cost planning Helps with value engineering Gives transparency to cost estimates and cost plans Acts as an aide memoir Helps with improving the accuracy of cost estimates and cost plans Promotes clear and effective communication between the employer and project team members and ensure that risks associated with the project are identified, analysed and responded to Provides a method for codifying elemental cost plans so that they can be converted to works packages for procurement and cost management during the construction stage Provides robust basis for capturing historical cost data in the form required for future cost estimates and cost plans, thereby completing the cost management cycle Can be integrated into an organisation s quality management system.
