Tender Documentation

The most usual forms of contract in construction works are based on the use of Bills of Quantities as the contract document. Bills of Quantities are the translation of the designer’s drawings and specifications in words and quantities. They enable each contractor tendering to estimate his price on the same basis as his competitors. Bills are prepared in accordance with methods of measurements in use throughout the building and civil engineering industries in East Africa. The bills are later used during the construction of a project to provide a basis for the financial management of the contract. Where other forms of tendering procedures are used, Bills of Quantities may be in a modified form, or may be replaced by schedules of prices. The Quantity Surveyor ensures that such documents are drafted in the form most suited to the circumstances.
