Purpose of WorkshopPurpose of Workshop
• To provide guidance to RICS APC candidates with regards to typical questions on the Design Economics and Cost Planning competency
• To discuss theory and how it relates to practice for those who want to improve their cost planning skills

APC Levels to be coveredAPC Levels to be covered
• Design Economics and Cost Planning – Level 3 for those who work for Professional
Practice– Level 2 if optional subject for those working for
Contractors

Design Economics and Cost PlanningDesign Economics and Cost Planning
• Level 1 - Explain– main factors that affect design economics over
the whole life of a building. – how cost planning assists in the financial control
of projects during the design development stage.
JAMES R. KNOWLES

Design Economics and Cost PlanningDesign Economics and Cost Planning
• Level 2– Knowledge of the cost management of design
development on a project from feasibility to design
completion.
– Prepare and submit cost data to in-house and/or
external data collection agencies.

Design Economics and Cost Design Economics and Cost PlanningPlanning
• Level 3– Give strategic and reasoned advice, including the
preparation and presentation of reports with reference to
cost, time, quality and buildability.
– Advise on various market factors and trends in
construction costs. Comment on accuracy and risk

Cost planning Cost planning -- theorytheory
• A MUST! Plan, create Baseline - initial cost plan
• Review further drawings ( could be at different design stages /Gateways)
• Report (why the costs have changed)• Adjust – client decision for design changes /
VE etc• Repeat as design develops

Cost DataCost Data
• Analyse Bills of Quantities• Collect data from your own projects to form a
data base• Have a standard approach to analysing into
elements• Know how to adjust historic data to create
your cost plan

Typical formatsTypical formats
• BQ -Trade order– Separate bills for specialists– Depends on SMM used
• Analysis – BCIS elemental– Specific guidelines on what is included in each
element.They don’t match!

Collecting Cost DataCollecting Cost Data
• Establish an appropriate data baseExercise no 1• What useful information ( from an existing
project) do you need for planning the cost of future projects
• Cost per m2 = Overall cost/gross internal floor area?
• Others?
JAMES R. KNOWLES

BCIS elemental formatBCIS elemental format
• Building Cost Information Service– Part of RICS, in UK collect data, analyse and
present for use in cost planning• Standard approach to allocating costs to
elements• Some information is available from
www.bcis.co.uk but you need to be a subscriber to get full details

Summarising cost dataSummarising cost data
• We should now look at a typical example of the development of a cost data base, collecting cost plans as the design develops.
• Used to assist in cost planning other projects• Level of detail will vary
JAMES R. KNOWLES

Cost Planning Cost Planning –– the needthe need
• Various design stages, typically– Feasibility – Outline Cost plan – Detail design – Construction

Cost PlanningCost Planning-- What Should You Do? What Should You Do?
Take off (Depends on design stage, GIA, or elemental units or approximate quants )Schedule out in Elemental or BCIS HeadingsGive as much detail and description as possibleInterrogate Architect /Engineers / Client to fill gaps in information
JAMES R. KNOWLES
www.jrknowles.com 19JRK Seminars
19
Cost Planning Cost Planning --What Should You Do? What Should You Do?
Insert costs using current data from relevant similar projects or own data base
Understand the market at the base date of any historical costs and the contract used as these will influence the costs/m2 and adjust to suit your project ( most important part)
Benchmark and market testDetail assumptionsDetail exclusions – inflation?
JAMES R. KNOWLES
www.jrknowles.com 20JRK Seminars

Cost Planning Cost Planning –– Feasibility stageFeasibility stage
• This is part of the project appraisal process;• Client could provide budget cost/m2 and
want to know what could be built for this;• Client could ask for guidance on an
appropriate cost for a scheme
JAMES R. KNOWLES
www.jrknowles.com 21JRK Seminars
21
Establishing Cost /mEstablishing Cost /m22
Simplistically• Cost = Value(sales or rental) less
[Fees+contingencies+profit]• Establishes target to be designed to• Benchmark with other projects to see what is
possible
JAMES R. KNOWLES
www.jrknowles.com 22JRK Seminars
22
Providing the Cost /mProviding the Cost /m22
• Check design and specification against similar projects currently being built
• Adjust rate to cater for this project’s particular features /current market situation /design factors

What affects the accuracy?What affects the accuracy?
• Source of data• How it was collected• How it was analysed• Stability of market place• Experience of person using the data
JAMES R. KNOWLES
www.jrknowles.com 24JRK Seminars
24
Accuracy of cost plansAccuracy of cost plans
– Feasibility typically + or – 30% or more– Outline Cost plan typically + or – 15-20%– Detail design typically + or – 10-15%– Construction typically + or – 5%
As design develops and more accurate /detailed measure is made the accuracy improves.

Design EconomicsDesign Economics
• Understand how a change in design affects the cost
• What affects the cost of the construction element by element
• Also appreciate what changes in the following can do, – plan shape – storey height

• Level 1– Please could you explain what is meant by
design economics
– Please could you explain how cost planning assists in the financial control of projects during the design development stage.

• Level 2– Please can you tell us from your experience where you
have collected cost data and how you have used this knowledge in the cost management of the design development on a project.
– How would you prepare a comparison between the cost of constructing a building using a concrete frame or a steel frame and what factors would you include.
