PRELIMINARY BUDGET

TOTAL EXPENDITURE

FEE BID COSTS

TOTAL EXPENDITURE

P & Co Architects Ltd acknowledges and understands that the maximum available budget for this project is £6,000,000 and this includes design costs, statutory submission costs and construction cost for the entire length of Lenton Flats Masterplan Phase 1.

fee bid / practice COSTS

The following table demonstrates a cost calculation table based on salary costs of professionals involved in relation to the 20-day fee bid programme. It is calculated on a time charge basis.

fee bid / practice COSTS

Based on the cost table generated, the total salary cost is calculated to be a total of £11102.50, excluding VAT. The overhead cost is 30% of the total salary cost and the expected profit return is 10% of the total reve-nue. Hence, total cost =

Fee bid cost = £11102.50 + overhead [30% x 11102.50] = £44410

= £44410 x profit [10% x £44410] = £48851.00 + VAT 20%

However, the construction industry in UK is affected by the recent economy recession. A 13% reduction is applied to the cost for scheduled works to ensure a competitive fee bid. The final fee bid cost is calculated to be:

Fee bid cost = £48851 - [13% x £48851] = £48851 - £6350.63 = £42500.37 + VAT 20%

DESIGN & CONTRACT SUPERVISION FEES

D ESIGN & CONTRACT SUPERVISION FEES

ARCHITECTS DESIGN FEE

Buildings are divided into five classes for fee calculation purposes. The 52-unit warden-aided complex for elderly residents falls under [Residential] Class 4 - Houses for the Frail & Elderly. This information is used to find out about the indicative percentage fees for this class of building.

Classification of Building Types

A budget of £6,000,000 is given for the construction of Phase 1 of the Lenton Flats Masterplan.In the new works ~ indicative percentage fees table provided, the proposed construction falls under the cost construction band for [new works from £5-£7.7 million]. The table recommends a percentage of 6.5% for Class 4 Building types.

new works-indicative percentage fees


ARCHITECTS DESIGN FEE

In consideration of the project budget of £6,000,000, the fixed fee is counted as below:

£6,000,000 x 6.5% = £390,000.00

Similarly to the calculation of the fee bid programme, with the decline in the UK economic climate, our firm will apply a reduction of 32.5% from the fixed fee. The final fee is counted as below:

£390,000.00 - [32.5% x £390,000] = £390,000.00 - £126,750.00 = £263,250.00

In conclusion, the calculations generated a percentage of 4.38% for the fee provision of design services, hence £263,250.00 for the design fee. This fee is inclusive of all the design works carried out by P & Co Architects Ltd.


CONSULTANT FEES

The fee percentages for the professional consultants involved in the Lenton Flats Masterplan Phase (1) Project is shown as follows:(Note: a 32.5% reduction is applied to the consultant fees as well)

Quantity Surveyor 1.5% of project budget

1.5% x £6,000,000 = £90,000.00 After -32.5%: £90,000.00 - [32.5% x £90,000] =£60,750.00

This is 1.13% of the project budget.

Structural Engineer 1.5% of project budget

1.5% x £6,000,000 = £90,000.00

After -32.5%: £90,000.00 - [32.5% x £90,000] =£60,750.00


Services Engineer 4.8% of M&E works Based on the data provided by the Fees Bureau, M&E works account for 20% of the project budget.

4.8% x (20% x £6,000,000) =£57,600.00

KEY DUTIES

The project will require the input of several contractors too. We will contribute to selecting the consultants if instructed. The professionals include:

+ construction manager + trade contractors + finance and administration

The roles of the contractors are outlined as below:

construction manager - Manages trade contractors. Appointed early in the design process site engineers to improve the buildability and packaging of proposals as they develop. May programme construction to begin before the comple tion of design. trade contracts - On construction management contracts, a construction manager is appointed on a consultancy and management basis to provide advice to the client pre-construction and then to manage the construction of the works.

health and safety - These are contracted to ensure all aspects of construction operate safely, officers They are also responsible for preparing the health and safety handbook and implementing the programme.

contractual arrangements

traditional procurement

The project takes the Traditional Procurement Route. Based on a JCT Standard Building Contract ( JCT 2011 SBC/Q) agreement, any consultants must be employed directly, whereby they will be fully responsible for their own work.

This form of procurement will benefit your company as the full development of the design before tender actions assures certainty for design quality and cost.

It is considered to be a low risk method of contracting, as the contractors take the financial risk for construc-tion. Cost to the client can only be affected if design information is incomplete at tender which P & Co Architects Ltd will make sure does not happen.

contractual arrangements

There are certain implications that your part must be aware of : + the client accepts that consultants are appointed for design, cost control, and contract administration, and that the contractor is responsible for carrying out the Works. The responsibility of the latter extends to all workmanship and materials, including work by sub-contractors and suppliers.

+ This form of procurement method takes a longer time than other forms of contracting as the contractor is only appointed once the design is complete. This also means that they are not able to contribute to improving the buildability and packaging of proposals as they develop.

EXTENT OF STATUTORY CONTROLS

MANDATORY

Throughout the course of the project, the design and construction will be subjected to a number of manda-tory controls. External organizations will be involved in the project to speculate of the design and construc-tion standards and regularions are adhered to.

statutory constraints


Statutory Controls has an effect on building design as there are many legislations and acts and standards to be taken into account throughout the process of construction. This is to ensure the construction is carried out in a safe environment, and also to ensure that the workmanship are reached to a required standard so that the final building will be fit for use.

The government acts and legislative documents are categorised into the primary levels of control. The sec-ondary level of control consists of statutory instruments imposed by local authorities while the final level of control is found through practical guidance from the British Standards and the Building Regulations Ap-proved Documents.

The Building Act 1984

It is a primary legislation that determines the commonly used documentation within the construction indutstry- Building Regulations, Approved Documents and their updated revisions.

The CDM Regulations 2007

This document provides measures and guidelines to ensure a safe working environment for the construction and will be enforced by a CDM coordinator. This will ensure that the construction of the Masterplanning of Lenton Flats to follow the Health & Safety Regulations.

The Building Regulations 2010

This contains a set of specific design and construction standards to assure the building is safe for occupancy and that all construction works meet the government’s environmental goals.

The Party Wall Agreement 1997

The new proposed complex containts multiple occupant units, certain design standards must be met for party walls and floors between neighbouring flats and communal areas. It also acts as a framework to prevent and resolve disputes related to party walls, boundary walls and excavation works taking place near neighbouring buildings.


The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

The Fire Authority maintains a record of the building and issue it with a valid Fire Certificate upon completion of construction to necessary standards. This Act also ensures that that appropriate fire controls and precautionary measures are taken to minimize the outbreak of fire and also reducing the spread of fire.

SAP (Standard Assesment Procedure) for Eneregy Performance

This ensures the energy efficiency for proposed developments and redevelopments. In relevance to the Lenton Flats Masterplanning project, the SAP will assess the new build designs given material specifications to determine the energy efiiciency of the building and its environmental impact. A SAP assessment is a general requirements and certain standards of specification must be used to ensure that the design proposals pass this procedure.

Town and Country Planning Act 2004 This Act is designed t control development within the UK. It is to refrain the merging of town and cities by introducing ‘Green Belts’ to preserve natural landscapes and rural areas within the UK. It also preserves the character of historical urban landscapes and buildings surrounding development sites and to maintain a level of control over development proposals.

Lenton Flats Masterplanning will have to take into consideration their surroundings, considering issues such as listed buildings, wildlife and adjacent land owners.

The British Standards
