Pricing an outcome without first agreeing on method is how variation creeps in. The method is the control system for the claim. It defines causation boundaries, safe work sequence, temporary works and access, and how reinstatement will meet the NCC and relevant Australian Standards. When every tenderer prices the same method, you get like-for-like comparisons, fewer disputes at delivery, and a scope that reads the same way the site will be built. If you are tightening your instruction pack, use a method statement as the backbone and make assumptions and exclusions explicit up front.

Estimator | Cost Consultant | Helping Construction Projects Save Costs Through Accurate Estimation & Strategic Cost Control
Understanding Prolongation & Loss & Expense in Construction. In construction projects, delays happen; design changes, late approvals, or site conditions can keep contractors on site longer than planned. But when that happens, who pays for the extra time and cost? That’s where Prolongation & Loss & Expense claims come in. I broke this down into a simple Cause → Effect → Quantum formula you can use (or explain to clients) when preparing the Final Account. Swipe through the carousel to see how it works

#Construction #plans serve as the foundation of project communication, converting concepts into practical specifics. They include #ArchitecturalPlans for spatial organization, #StructuralPlans for durability and safety, #MEP Plans for utility services, Shop Plans for production details, #AsBuilt Plans to document final conditions, and Working Plans to guide on-site activities. Each category is essential, facilitating coordination, adherence to regulations, and effectiveness throughout the project timeline. 🌐 https://lnkd.in/dYN6c2kJ

Installation Challenges & Importance of Constructability Review ♻️Reality vs. Drawing Installation works often deviate from original drawings as site surveys may not fully capture: ❌ Constructability aspects ❌ Actual site conditions ❌ Existing constraints 🌐Consequences 📣 Alternative (Plan B) solutions are frequently required to address unforeseen challenges. 🔆Way Forward 🌈Conducting a thorough constructability review is critical to: ✅ Proactively identify and mitigate site constraints ✅ Align design with actual site conditions ✅ Enhance efficiency, safety, and project reliability ✅ Enable effective recovery plans to minimize delays and optimize delivery

Engineer or builder lead? Keep it simple If structure is in play, involve a registered engineer early. If the question is condition, compliance and practical rectification, a licensed building consultant leads and the engineer weighs in where adequacy is in question. One coordinated instruction avoids duplicated site time and conflicting scopes, keeps advice aligned to the NCC and Australian Standards. Cleanly separate event damage from pre-existing defects. For a concise explainer view: https://lnkd.in/dZdtHqRE #Engineering #NCC #BuildingConsultancy

Leakage is not a weather problem. It is an evidence problem. Strong files win because they are built on facts, not photos. Independent building consultancy gives you a single source of truth that holds up to audit: clear causation, verified extent, NCC alignment, and a scope you can actually build. 🧪 What you get: causation sorted, extent verified, compliance cited, scope quantified. 👷 When structure is in play, registered engineers confirm capacity so decisions stand.
