OQSC Note

Cost control of a project starts at the initiation of the design. This pre contract cost control will spread through the design development period. When Architects develop the design, Quantity Surveyors / Cost Planners will develop the cost plan. It is important and interesting to know how the cost of a basic concept design calculated and then develops step by step where the design information (details of a building) is minimum. Quantity Surveyors shall be aware of such cost estimation methods including 'Life Cycle Costs' where modern developers have more interest on economical 'run' of buildings along with the construction costs. Quantity Surveyors are the cost advisers to the design teams during the pre contract stages of a project. Comprehensive knowledge on cost control in the view of 'Life cycle cost' mechanisms is very important to a Quantity Surveyors. This is a rare knowledge of common commercial practice. Take this opportunity to learn the out lines, methods and controls in cost estimates during the design.
