The PQS is a vital member of the project, who brings added value to the design and construction team. The PQS is specifically focused on the management of construction cost and value. Depending upon the sophistication of the client in design and construction, the PQS can be retained to provide input and advice from inception to completion or for specific tasks therein. Experience has shown that clients who include a PQS as part of their team from inception to completion tend to maximize their return on this investment in professional expertise. When you embark on a construction project, you're making a commitment to what may be a major investment in an unknown quantity. While defining the proposed facility broadly in terms of size and function is possible, there are significant variables that need attention such as: • How well and how long will the facility serve its intended purpose? • Will it be responsive to the needs of its users and the community? • What will it say about your image? • Will it be financially feasible? NNDEV Consultancy Ltd's will work with you and the design team to establish the project budget. As the design progresses through the design stages, the PQS will prepare elemental cost plans which will be used to report changes and variations in the anticipated cost, allowing for timely decisions on additions or omissions to the design while maintaining the initial program budget. Prior to tender, the elemental cost plan will again be reviewed and this pre-tender estimate will be used to evaluate bids received. During the design and construction of your project, the PQS effectively becomes a major contributor to your organization, serving as advisor and technical manager and in large measure, he or she will determine the financial success of the project.
