Contractors Pricing for Preliminaries - Overview

1.

There is no hard and fast rules to price preliminaries.

2.

The purpose of this seminar is to cover the basic principles of

building up cost and eventually pricing for preliminaries.

3.

The speaker will share his experience in pricing preliminaries for

submitting tenders of building projects.

4.

A Sample Case will be discussed for compiling the preliminaries

cost (not exhaustive) of a sample building project.

Method of Pricing Preliminaries

1.

To allow % mark-up (based on similar previous projects) on the

estimated cost of the project.

2.

Build up the cost of preliminaries items (with significant cost

implication not covered in BQ/SOR) in detail.
