Pre-contract in construction stage / Muhaamad Haffiz Abd Hamid

Practical training is a course that should be completed by all students who took the final semester of Diploma in Building Surveying. Students have to choose where company or place to do the practical training. I have selected the state private company of the Ilham Kos Kosultan Sdn Bhd as my place to do the practical training. I have placed at technical department. Quantity Surveyor as a guardian to prepared the document tender and calculated the cost of Bill of Quantity. The Quantity Surveyor also take over as financial for the contract and adviser for client about law of contract before take any action to the contractor. In the contractual practice, they have two stages that are Pre-Contract and Post-Contract. The Pre-Contract stage for Quantity Surveyor is start with Preliminaries detail abstract (PDA) until award the Contractor. And for Post Contract is start from site possession to contractor until final account for the project. I would choose the Pre-contract Stage as my final practical report. In this stage the client appoint the Architect to design and construct the project. And the architect as a lead consultant will recommend the consultant team as Quantity surveyor, civil & structure engineering and mechanical & electrical Engineering. After client selected team consultant for the project, Quantity Surveyor will come out with costing for the project. When client agree with the costing and design, Quantity Surveyor will prepared the document tender and give to the selected tenderer to submit their price. Then, Quantity surveyor will prepared document tender report and advice client to select contractor to complete the project.
