QUANTITY SURVEYING: MODULE 1

QUANTITY SURVEY: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION

1.1 Definition of Quantity Survey

Quantity survey is a schedule of quantities of all the items of work in a building.

1.2 Data Required for the Preparation of an Estimate or Quantity Survey

1.2.1 Drawings
Complete and fully dimensioned drawings (i.e. plans, elevations, sections and
other details) of the building or work in question are required.

1.2.2 Specifications
Detailed specifications, giving the nature, quality and class of work, materials to be
used, quality of the material, their proportions, and method of preparation are required.

1.2.3 Rates
The rates of various of work, materials to be used in the construction, wages of
different categories of labor (skilled or unskilled) and cost of transportation charges should
be available for preparing an estimate of work cost.

1.2.4 Actual Finished Work

Quantities can be calculated from the actual work done in the project site.
The quantities mainly can be calculated as:
Quantity = Length × Width × (Height or Thickness),
Quantity = Area of cross-section × Length,
Quantity = Length × Width,
Quantity = Length.
Quantity = Number of Units.
Quantity = Weight.

1.3 Importance of Quantity Survey

1. Quantity survey is essential to estimate before the construction starts the probable
cost of construction for the complete work. The construction cost includes cost of
materials, cost of transportation, cost of labor, cost of scaffolding, cost of tools and
plants, establishment and supervision charges, cost of water, taxes and
QUANTITY SURVEYING: MODULE 1

reasonable profit of the contractor, etc. The estimate is required in inviting tenders
for the works and to arrange contract for a complete project.
2. Quantity survey is required to estimate the quantities of the various materials
required and the labor involved for satisfactory completion of a construction
project.
3. It is also useful to check the works done by contractors during and after the
execution. Also, the payment to the contractor is done according to the actual
measurements of the completed part of each item of work.
4. A complete quantity survey or estimate is useful to provide useful advice to clients
on:
 Valuation of properties (land and building) for sale, purchase and mortgage
etc.
 Fixation of standard rent.
 For insurance and claim for damages in a building.
 For the process of resolving disputes by referring to a third party.

1.4 Types of Estimates and Quantity Survey

1.4.1 Preliminary or Approximate Estimate

This is to find out an approximate cost in a short time. It is used to give an idea of
the cost of a proposed project. This estimate helps the client or sanctioning authority to
make decision of the administrative approval.
The approximate cost is prepared from the comparison with similar works. The
approximate cost can be found by using methods that depends on the area or cubic
content of a building and then multiplying this by an estimated rate for the unit of the area
or cubic content.
Approximate quantities of materials and labor required per m2 of the area for a
proposed building also can be found.

1.4.2 Detailed Estimate

After getting the administrative approval, this estimate is prepared in detail prior to
inviting of tenders. The whole project is divided into sub-works, and the quantities of each
sub-work are calculated separately. The dimensions of the required work are taken from
the drawings of the project.

1.4.3 Quantity Estimates

This is a complete estimate of quantities for all items during project
implementation.
QUANTITY SURVEYING: MODULE 1

1.4.4 Revised Estimate

Prepared if the estimate exceeded by 5% due to the rates being found insufficient
or due to some other reason.

1.4.5 Maintenance Estimate

Estimating required quantities and cost of work to maintain a structure (road,
building, etc.)

1.5 Contracts
Contract is an agreement between two or more parties creating obligations that
are enforceable or recognizable at law. It establishes an obligation of each party to fulfill
what it is agreed to perform.

1.5.1 Obligations of the employer

1. Appointing of the engineer to administer the contract
2. Provision of the site
3. Provision of information, permits, and approvals
4. Providing funds and making payments in accordance with the contract
5. Participation in consultations with the engineer to agree matters on claims or
conflicts between parties.

1.5.2 Obligations of the Contractor

1. Execution and completion of the works and remedying any defects therein.
2. Provision of:
 Labor, materials, plant, and equipment needed
 Preparation of progress report
 Works program for execution, and updating it whenever required
 Setting out of the works
 Measurement and/or assisting the engineer to do so
 Records of his personnel and equipment
 Sample of materials specified
 Testing and re-testing
 Temporary works
 Facilities for other contractors working on the site
 Keeping the site clean, and remove rubbish
3. The contractor is required to:
 Sign the contract when he is called to do so
 Obtain and submit securities, guarantees, and insurance policies
 Ensure that his representatives will be available on site at all times
QUANTITY SURVEYING: MODULE 1

 Prepare and submit the contractor’s document, including “as built drawings”
and manuals of operation and maintenance
 Attend to the engineer’s instructions
 Provide access to the employer’s personnel to enter the site
 Prepare and submit payment statement and documentation
 To uncover works for inspection when required
o Rectify (Correct) defective works
 Secure or compensate the employer against any claims
 Submit notices to the engineer whenever he encounters circumstances that
may cause future claims
 Getting approval before assigning sub-contractors or partners of the works
 Respond for consultation with the engineer
4. Comply with the applicable laws, labor law and other local regulations.

1.5.3 Role of the Engineer

Usually, the employer will enter into a consultancy agreement with the engineer to
design and/or supervise the works.
The engineer shall have no authority to amend the contract. Engineer role can be:
1. As the employer’s agent:
a. Administration of the contract – dealing with the procedures, provision of
information and interpretations, issuance of variations, approval of samples,
etc.
b. Cost accountancy and payments
2. As a supervisor:
The engineer must ensure that the work is being performed to fulfill the contract
documents.
3. As a certifier:
The engineer is required to certify or approve the payments that should be paid by
the employer to the contractor. Those payments should be made periodically,
mostly on monthly basis, and should depend on the quantity of works finished by
the contractor.
4. As a determiner:
The engineer must act as a mediator to help the parties towards agreement in
issues such as claims for reimbursement of costs or extension of time.
5. Issuance of instructions and variations
Include: issuance of additional or modified drawings, actions in relation to defective
works, issuance of clarifications, giving approval, and ordering variations.
QUANTITY SURVEYING: MODULE 1

1.6 Types of Contracts

1.6.1 Measured or Unit rate Contract

In this type of contract, the price is computed by multiplying quantities of work
executed by the unit rate offered by the contractor in his tender. The rates are usually set
out in the Bill of Quantities (BOQ). Such contracts often used where there are significant
changes in the quantities or working conditions. So, when there are certain reasonable
differences of the quantities accepted by all the parties, then the contract can be paid for
by multiplying the actual measured quantities by the unit rates.
Advantages:
1. Suitability: This type of contract is widely used in the execution of large projects
financed by public
2. bodies or governments. It also suits the works which can be split into separate
items and the quantity of each item could be estimated with reasonable accuracy.
3. The employer pays for the actual work executed.
4. The contractor usually allows for a certain margin of variation, with a clear
mechanism for valuation of such variations.
5. The engineer / employer has liberty to provide some drawings during the execution
of the project, after award.
Disadvantages:
1. The employer cannot be absolutely sure of the total cost of the project until the
whole work is completed. In case the quantities in the BOQ are inaccurate or
roughly approximated, the value of the
2. work may vary considerably. The contractor may try to offer an unbalanced tender
on the basis of his anticipation of the uncertainty of quantities of certain items.
3. Both the engineer and the contractor have to do considerable computations and
book-keeping during the progress of work.
4. Extra works or varied items of work are often a source of conflict. The contractor
may press for higher rates than he would have tendered for in the beginning.

1.6.2 Lumpsum contract

In a lumpsum contract, the contractor agrees to carry out the entire work as
indicated in the drawings and described in the specifications, for a specified fixed
lumpsum amount. Sometimes, the contract makes provisions to adjust the “lump sum”
allowing for extra work and limited variations. Normally, a bill of quantities is not usually
included, and if included it does not form part of the "Contract Documents", but may be
used just for guidance.
Instead, a schedule of rates may be of value to evaluate the cost of extras or omissions.
Advantages:
QUANTITY SURVEYING: MODULE 1

1. From the employer's stand point, and if no extras are contemplated, the tender
sum tells him the exact cost of the project. Sometimes the employer will be working
within a tight margin of budget.
2. From the contractor's stand point, because the design will often be prepared by
him, the contractor can gain through proper planning and efficient management to
increase his margin of profit and/or to control timing.
3. Both parties need a smaller number of staff for book-keeping accounting and
measurement.
Disadvantages:
1. In lumpsum contracts, there should be a complete set of plans and specifications,
or what is called "Employer's Requirements" which should be sufficiently detailed.
2. Variations in lumpsum contract may trigger conflicts about whether or not a
particular item of work falls within the agreed scope of work, and whether there
has been a variation to such scope.
3. This type of contract will not be suitable for works with scope and nature that
cannot be predicted accurately in advance. The outcome will be unfair for the
contractor to assume all risks and uncertainties, or for the employer to pay a higher
cost.

1.6.3 Cost-plus contract

This type of contract differs from both the measured and the lumpsum contract in
that the employer agrees to pay the contractor for the actual cost of the work plus an
agreed percentage of this actual cost to cover overhead and profit. The contractor agrees
to execute the works based on the drawings and specifications and any other information
that will be provided to him from time to time during progress of the works. The percentage
to be paid should not be applied on the costs of salaries of the contractor’s staff, whether
on-site or off-site.
Advantages:
1. Early completion of the work - The work can be started even before the design and
estimates are prepared. Decisions can be taken speedily, and flexibility allows
adoption of alternates for construction to suit the Employer's Requirements.
2. The quality of the work can be assured. The contractor is induced to perform the
work in the best interest of the employer.
3. No conflicts will be anticipated as to extras or omissions.
Disadvantages:
1. The final cost to the employer cannot be foretold.
2. Both parties have to do a lot of accounting and book-keeping regarding labour;
purchase of materials and plant and use of equipment.
3. The contractor has no incentive to economize or finish the work speedily.
QUANTITY SURVEYING: MODULE 1

Suitability:
In spite of some drawbacks in certain cases, this form of contract can be used
suitably for:
 Emergency works that require speedy construction and where no time is available
to prepare
 drawings for it.
 Construction of special or expensive projects, such as palaces, where the cost of
the work is of no consequence but the materials and workmanship to be purchased
are just to suit the choice and taste of the employer.
Remark:
An alternate to the cost-plus contract is the cost-plus fixed fee contract, where the
contractor will be paid for the actual cost of construction plus a fixed amount of fees for
his overhead and profit. The fee does not fluctuate with the actual cost of the project. This
factor may overcome the possible drawback of the cost-plus contract.

1.6.4 Construction Management Contract (C.M.)

In this type of contract, the employer engages a specialized construction manager

(C.M.) to provide administrative service for him and manage the work on his behalf. The
(C.M.) has full control on (Cost and Time), on the budget and programming, and is usually
paid on a staff-reimbursement basis. The (C.M.) assists in choosing the design consultant
and the various contractors for a project divided into packages (structural, finishes,
electro-mechanical, etc.). The technical role is kept with the design-professional, but as
to control, coordination, certification and dispute resolution, the (C.M.) normally
possesses the major role.

2. Quantity Survey Items and Methods

2.1 Introduction
Quantity surveying and the estimated quantities of materials required on a project
are normally determined by professional surveyor or engineer. The estimated quantities
are provided to the interested bidders on a project to provide their prices. In this method
of bidding, the contractors are all bidding on the same quantities. The estimators of
contractors spend time developing the unit price of the different items in a project. To win
the bid, contractors will work on keeping the cost of purchasing and installing the materials
as low as possible.
As the project is built, the actual quantities are checked against the estimated
quantities. For example, if the estimated quantity of concrete for a wall is 23 m 3, but the
QUANTITY SURVEYING: MODULE 1

actual installed concrete is 26 m3, then the contractor would be paid for the additional
3m3. When there is a large difference between the estimated and actual quantities, an
adjustment to the unit price can be made. Small adjustments are usually made at the
same unit as the contractor bid. Large errors may require that the unit price be
renegotiated. If the contractor is aware of potential changes between the estimated
quantities and those that will be required in the project, the contractor may price his or
her bid to take advantage of this situation. For example, if the contractor is aware that the
filling material in the project will be changed from excavated soil to base-course, then he
can provide low unit price for filling with excavated soil (say 700 PhP/m 3) and high unit
price for the base-course (say 1000PhP /m3). If the back-fill quantities were assumed to
be 2000 m3 of soil and 100 m3 of base-course, so the assumed total price as in the bid
will be 1.5 Million PhP. But if the quantities were changed to 100 m 3 of soil and 2000 m3
of base-course, then the new price of the actual work because of this change will be 2.07
Million PhP which will provide more profit to the contractor.
