[1.4.2] SCHEMATIC COST PLAN

The cost estimate prepared at the Scheme Design Stage is called a “Schematic Cost Plan”
During the Scheme Design Stage, more design details such as building plans/ elevations/ sections, typical details, major materials schedule, outline specification, construction methods, foundation system etc. are normally provided.

According to the information from this design stage, the Quantity Surveyors shall be able to measure approximate quantities of major items from the drawings and do assume quantities of other items which is not provided in the drawings.

The Quantity Surveyors shall prepare Schematic Cost Plan based on the approximate/ assumption quantities priced at composite rate for various design scheme options to facilitate the Employer’s decision confirming the design and specification of the major elements of the project before the commencement of the Detailed Design.
