Why separate gray structure and finishing?
In Pakistan, many owners award the gray structure, meaning foundations, frame, brickwork, plaster and roof, separately from finishing works such as flooring, woodwork, paint, sanitary and electrical fittings. We estimate each stage separately so you can price, contract and schedule them independently and compare offers on a like-for-like basis.
What is a rate analysis?
A rate analysis builds the cost of one unit of work from its materials, labor, equipment and overheads, for example one hundred cubic feet of brickwork or one square foot of tile flooring. We prepare analyses from current material and labor costs you provide or that we state, so every rate in the estimate can be checked and updated when prices change.
How are public tenders priced?
Public works tenders commonly ask for a percentage above or below the schedule of rates. We price the BOQ at current market rates, compare it with the schedule-of-rates value, and show the resulting premium or rebate so your bid decision is based on real costs.
How do you keep estimates current when prices move?
Steel, cement and fuel prices in Pakistan can change quickly. Each estimate states the date and source of the material prices used, and the rate analyses are set up so that updating a handful of base prices refreshes every dependent rate. That makes it practical to re-price before signing a contract or when a project starts months after the estimate.
