CONSULTATION SELECTION
 Qualifications-based selection (QBS)
- uses criteria other than price to select the
consultant, with the fee decided after selection; in this case,
the scope of work and project definition are usually left
somewhat undefined until after the consultant is selected.
CONSULTATION
SELECTION Fee-Bidding
- is the term used to refer to the process in which
design professionals are required to submit a proposed fee
with their proposals; in this case, the owner must have
prepared a clear project definition and scope statement in
order for the consultant to arrive at a fee proposal.
 Elements Used in a QBS Procedure

 past experience with projects of a similar nature;

 details of organization, project control and financial control;
 size, expertise and responsibilities of staff, especially the
qualifications of the proposed
 project design manager;
CONSULTATION  type of organization and managerial method for executing the
SELECTION work;
 quality assurance organization;
 knowledge of local conditions;
 local resources;
 project methodology;
 availability of resources;
 schedule;
 an indication of how well the proposer understands the project.
CONSULTATION
SELECTION
 Two Approaches of Fee-Bidding Procedure:

 Single-envelope System
- proposers furnish all information, including the
proposed fee, in a single package. The proposed fee then becomes
CONSULTATION an additional criterion to be evaluated, with its relevant weighting.
SELECTION
 Double-envelope System
- requires proposals to be separated into a package for
the technical proposal and another for the fee. Under this system,
the technical proposals are usually evaluated first, after which
negotiations with the highest-ranked firm are held.
 Payments Used for Professional Design Services:

 percentage of construction cost

 multiple of salary cost
CONSULTATION
 multiple of salary cost plus non-salary expense
SELECTION
 fixed lump-sum fee
 total expense plus professional fee
 hourly or per diem charge.
THE BRIEF
 The brief is a statement that specifies the scope of the
project. It defines the objectives to be achieved and lays out in a
general way what the final product will accomplish.

Prepared by the:
Owner
THE BRIEF
- the basis upon which those prospective consultants
prepare their proposals.

Project Manager Or Design Professional

-can assist the owner in identifying and clarifying needs
and setting forth the project’s scope.
 PROGRAMME
DEVELOPMENT
 - Develops a more comprehensive statement of
programme elements that is translated into the physical aspects of
the completed project.

 How will this project contribute to the community’s educational

goals of excellence, diversity, individuals’ rights and
responsibilities and relationship to the ecosystem?
PROGRAMME
DEVELOPMENT • What use will the wider community make of this facility?

 What is the facility expected to provide for people with special

needs?

 Are there priorities for space allocation among various

programme areas; communication, science, arts, gifted/talented,
recreation and others?
 • Will this facility require special storage areas, utility spaces,
administrative offices and counseling rooms?

• If potential sites have been identified, are there concerns among

various interest groups about traffic flow, green space, bicycle
PROGRAMME and ski trails and visual impact?

DEVELOPMENT
• To what extent should this facility provide for anticipated
changes in educational methods, including introduction of
various technologies?

-The result of this process will be a written document.

IDENTIFICATION OF
ALTERNATIVES
 • If a bridge is required to carry highway traffic and utility conduits
across a watercourse, what will be its location and alignment?

• Will it be a suspension bridge, a cable stayed bridge or a plate

girder bridge?
IDENTIFICATION
OF
ALTERNATIVES • Will the structural materials be primarily steel, concrete, timber
or a composite?

• Will it consist of a single or double deck?

 - The result of this part of planning process will be a
collection of preliminary drawings and descriptions for alternatives
whose costs can be estimated, whose general timelines can be
forecast and whose construction techniques can be studied, with
the goal of identifying financially and technically feasible options, if
IDENTIFICATION any, and then selecting the preferred option.
OF
ALTERNATIVES
- The identified alternatives provide a structured means
of studying the options available for supplying the elements in the
master plan in order to meet the project’s objectives.
SITE INVESTIGATION
 - It is the gathering of information about the
proposed location of a project

SITE
INVESTIGATION SCOPE:
 Topography
 Soil Profile
 Ground-water condition
 Stages Of Site Investigation:

 Desk study and site reconnaissance

SITE  Preliminary ground investigation
INVESTIGATION  Detailed ground investigation
 Monitoring
  It is conducted in varying levels of detail

 It includes options for preserving existing vegetation and

existing improvements

 General information is gathered, and as the options narrow,

SITE further detail will be developed on the preferred option or
INVESTIGATION options

 Property surveys may be needed

 Investigation into ownership records may be required

 At this phase, site studies are oriented toward providing

sufficient information
CONSTRUCTABILITY
ANALYSIS
 - A process that utilizes experienced construction
personnel with extensive construction knowledge early in

CONSTRUCTABILI the design stages of projects to ensure that the projects are
TY ANALYSIS buildable, while also being cost effective, biddable, and
maintainable.
 - During the planning and feasibility study stage,
even though the development to that point is mainly
conceptual, each alternative will be studied for such things
as ease of construction, impact on the project schedule,
CONSTRUCTABILI
effects that different materials might have on procurement
TY ANALYSIS
and installation, safety considerations and various
coordination issues among personnel, equipment and
materials.
PUBLIC INPUT
 - Members of the general public may be
involved in the development of the project programme,
prior to the identification and study of alternative
approaches to meeting the programme objectives.

PUBLIC Assess and assemble needed:

INPUT
COMMUNICATION-The ability to identify and to portray
the information that the public requires in order to
participate meaningfully. The ability to listen for and
understand the public’s interests and concerns.
 FACILITATION -The ability to recognize the importance,
role and appropriate use of a facilitative presence and
apply it effectively in facilitating both the overall process
and specific events.

PUBLIC
INPUT CONFLICT MANAGEMENT -The ability to
recognize the role of conflict in reaching a final
solution and to work through and manage
conflict situations.
CODE ANALYSIS
 - Describes Building Code Summary Plans and
includes a Code Check Worksheet. Code Summary Plans are a
vital reference for designers, plan reviewers, contractors and
inspectors, and are valuable for the design and review of
separate Mechanical Permits and future alterations of a building.
CODE
ANALYSIS
 BUILDING CODE SUMMARY NARRATIVE CHECKLIST:

 Project name
 Scope of work

CODE  Building code edition

 Date(s) of original building construction
ANALYSIS
 Use(s) and occupancy classification(s)
 Occupancy separation requirements – or nonseparated
occupancies
 Number of stories
 Floor area per floor, total floor area
  Construction type(s)
 Fire sprinkler provided (yes/no), location and type
 Fire alarm pull stations and notification provided (yes/no)

CODE  Number of standard and accessible parking spaces

required/provided
ANALYSIS  Number of plumbing fixtures required/provided
 Building code appeals with Date, ID #, and brief description of
code requirement and alternate design approved
 CODE
ANALYSIS
 CODE
ANALYSIS
 1. Are there restrictions on the number of storeys the building
can contain?
2. What earthquake loadings apply to our bridge design and
can the materials under consideration be used in this
earthquake zone?

CODE 3. How many elevators and stairways are required in our

elementary school?
ANALYSIS 4. Will a sprinkler system be required for fire suppression? Do
zoning regulations allow an oil pipeline in this
neighbourhood?
5. What lot setback requirements are in effect for a
manufacturing facility in this area?
PRELIMINARY COST
ESTIMATE
 A technique to forecast the possible cost incurred for
a certain building or construction project and is prepared earlier
before the project.

And it is a part of the cost planning process that is

controlling of the project cost at the design stage before any
PRELIMINARY drawings are embarked upon.
COST
ESTIMATE So, preliminary estimates is developed to ascertain an
estimate for the construction duration, critical path items and
to identify major milestones

More likely, it assists the client in knowing to what

extent he or she needs to be financially committed to a
particular project
PRELIMINARY
COST
ESTIMATE
FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY
ANALYSIS
  It must be financially viable
 It must show potential to generate an “economic return”

Concept: Return on Investment

Private sector – expects to generate sufficient cash-flows
FINANCIAL have an attractive interest rate of return
FEASIBILITY Public sector – expects that the benefits, either in money or in
non-quantifiable measures, will be at least equal to the funds
ANALYSIS invested

Life cycle costing – refers to economic studies that include

cashflows

The cost of operating and maintaining a

manufacturing plant must be estimated to determine whether it
is likely to be feasible.
 PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION
 - Having studied the various options from the
standpoint of costs, economic benefits, ease of
construction, schedule impacts, as well as the all-
PROJECT important matter of alignment with user objectives and
the project programme, the design professional is then
RECOMMEN in a position to recommend an option. Sometimes the
DATION recommendation will be not to proceed; ‘do nothing’ is
always an option!
 - Whatever the recommendation, the design
professional will prepare a report for the owner describing the
planning process, identifying the alternatives and explaining
the rationale for the selected option. If the recommendation
is to proceed, the report will suggest the appropriate steps to
be taken to launch the design stage.
PROJECT
- The choice of whether to implement the
RECOMMEN recommendation is the OWNER’S, of course.
DATION
FUNDING
 - The point in time at which funding approval is
required for a project varies with the nature of the project.
- Sometimes the money has been allocated
before much of the planning process has been carried out.

FUNDING - Occasionally a complete design is prepared,

ready for contractor selection, prior to availability of funds.
More often, however, the process outlined above leads to
a recommendation that the project proceed and that it be
funded. In this case, before further design efforts are
undertaken; assurance of available funding is sought.
 - Later approvals may also be required, such as approval
of the selection of the prime construction contractor for a certain
fixed price, but the approvals that follow the planning stage set
FUNDING
funds for the project aside, with the expectation that the work will
be completed if it can be done in accordance with the plans
developed thus far
SITE SELECTION AND LAND
ACQUISITION
 - Until funding is approved, there is no need to
acquire land for the project (assuming the site is not already in
possession of the owner). As explained earlier, various sites will
likely have been investigated, each with alternative layouts
specific to the site.

SITE SELECTION
Important Site Characteristics to Consider in Site
AND LAND Investigation:
ACQUISITION
 Soil conditions
 Topography
 Access
 Environmental impacts
 - Note that ‘site’ will have different meanings
SITE SELECTION depending on whether the project is a building, a
AND LAND roadway, an airport or some other development. In
roadway construction, for example, right-of-way
ACQUISITION specialists are important members of the project team.
 - When funding is approved, it may be for a project at
a specific site or the approval may allow for alternative sites,
depending upon further investigation and negotiation. In any
case, ultimately the project site, if not already owned, must be
SITE SELECTION acquired, through purchase, lease or other arrangement.
AND LAND
ACQUISITION - The site acquisition step completes the usual
process of planning and feasibility study and allows the design
stage to begin. For a typical project, approximately 10% of the
planning and design effort has been completed at the end of
the planning and feasibility study stage.
