During the permitting procedure and in parallel with the issuance of the Building Permit the Designer should proceed to the elaboration of the Detailed Design in order to prepare all necessary documents for the Tendering Procedure. The Project Manager will control & coordinate the Detailed Design per discipline in order to ensure that in the Tender Documents all necessary information is included in order to receive accurate and reliable offers from General Contractors ensuring on the same time that method of construction, specifications and materials are clearly defined according to serve Investor’s requests.
Detailed Design should include all necessary drawings (in proper scale), technical specifications and bill of quantities prepared by the Designer and controlled by the Project Manager according to the following list of designs:
- Detailed Architectural design
- Detailed Structural design
- Detailed Landscaping & Traffic design
- Detailed Fire protection design
- Detailed Electrical (HV & LV) design
- Detailed HVAC design
- Detailed Water & Sewage design
- Detailed BMS design
- Detailed lifting equipment design
PHASE E.
CONTRACTING
The Project Manager will prepare and recommend to the Investor the Contracting Strategy; approach is different in every case and strategy should be adjusted to the project’s objectives.
Scope of works in this phase includes:
- Preparation of Contracting Strategy in cooperation with the Investor
- Prequalification activities
- Preparation of tendering packages / procedures
- Preparation of contract with Main Contractor (depending on the agreed Contracting Strategy)
- Evaluation of offers, preparation of comparison tables with financial & technical criterias
- Preparation of project’s Time Schedule including critical path and milestones
- Assistance (or direct involvement) to negotiations with Main Contractor/subcontractors/suppliers
