Construction Management

Lump sum contracts involve a fixed price for the entire project, making them unsuitable for projects with high uncertainty, such as difficult foundations or unpredictable hazards. These conditions often lead to cost overruns, making flexible contracts like cost-plus contracts more appropriate.

Tender drawings are provided during the bidding process to convey the project’s scope, requirements, and specifications to contractors. These drawings, along with the bill of quantities, enable contractors to estimate costs and submit their bids accurately.

The planning stage of construction is critical for conducting investigations such as:
• Soil investigation to assess foundation requirements,
• Topographic investigation to understand site conditions
• Material supply and market surveys to ensure resource availability.
These activities ensure that the design and execution phases proceed smoothly.
