ARBE4308: Cost Planning & Estimating

WHAT DO I NEED TO SEE IN YOUR ASSESSMENT 3?

Students should submit a single pdf which can be opened and read with Adobe Acrobat Reader. The single pdf should be named Last Name_Student number.pdf e.g. BEARD_1234567.pdf

The single pdf should contain the following information in the following order:

1. A tender letter addressed to the client from your organisation clearly setting out time, cost and quality along with any qualifications you may have to the tender price and any conditions of the AS2124 contract you wish to discuss. This is the only document your client will see, followed by;

2. An analysis of the site describing constraints, site management considerations and including a layout of the site management i.e location of sheds, etc (drawn over the site plan). The layout may be A3 landscape and will be reflected in your project Prelims, followed by;

3. The tender strategy including the calculations for overheads, a nominated profit margin along with the reasons for the margin decision, any risks that have been identified along with a risk register (remember the four T’s) and any contingencies that may result, a SWOT analysis to support the bid/no bid decision and a tender preparation program, followed by;

4. Prelims calculations set out in the provided a pro forma including all necessary calculations of quantities and rates (The more calcs the more marks will be awarded).;

5. The Formwork quote analysis to identify the preferred formwork contractor for the project.

6. The completely priced BOQ provided on Canvas, along with all relevant in relation to other pricing, quote comparisons, etc.;

All workings must be shown. Submissions that do not provide the workings will be at the risk of not passing.

Important information

The orientation of all pages (apart where noted above) in the single pdf must be upright and readable on the screen without being turned (i.e. not upside down or sideways). Failure to provide the correct presentation will incur penalties and be at the risk of not passing.

File submission is via the Assessment area on Canvas and is the responsibility of the student, unreadable files cannot be marked and zero marks will be awarded. The ability for multiple file uploads will be provided on Canvas to enable students to ensure files are readable. Emailed submissions will most definitely NOT BE ACCEPTED
