S P E C I F I C AT I O N S

❑ The contract drawings include the architectural drawings, the
structural/geotechnical engineering drawings, and the building services
engineering drawings.These drawings provide information regarding the
arrangement of spaces, structural components, electrical, mechanical and
plumbing installations etc.

❑ Specifications simply amplif the information given in the contract drawings and
bill of quantities. It describes in details the work to be executed under the

CONTRACT DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS

The contract drawings include the architectural drawings,
the structural/geotechnical engineering drawings, and
the building services engineering drawings. These
drawings provide information regarding the arrangement of
spaces, structural components, electrical, mechanical and
plumbing installations etc.

PRICED BILL OF QUANTITIES

❑ A priced Bill of quantities is a required document of contract that has its rate
and amount column filled by a contractor.A bill of quantities consists of a
schedule of items of work to be carried out under the contract with quantities
entered against each item, prepared in accordance with the Standard Method
of Measurement of Building Works (Seeley and Winfield, 2005)

PRICED BILL OF QUANTITIES

A bill of quantities is a document prepared by the
client's cost consultant that provides measured
quantities of the items of work necessary to
construct a development. These items of work are
described by the drawings and specifications in the
tender documentation.

CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMME

❑ This is a document that is prepared in order to provide the project
participants a thorough appreciation of the work involved, to allow the site
production team to sort out its main constituent and decide how, in what
order and at what time to do them, and to ensure adequate coordination of
the labor, materials and machinery requirements (Bamisile, 2004).

CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMME

Construction programmes clearly outline a project's
scope of work, identifying timescales, lead times,
development phases and durations, as well as the
sequence of activities and the human and material
resources needed to reach each milestone. Project
budgets and cashflow can also be incorporated.

PROJECT QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN

❑ The Project Quality Management Plan documents the necessary
information required to effectively manage project quality from
project planning to delivery.

❑ The Project Quality Management Plan defines the various quality related
activities and procedures which will be implemented on the project. It sets
down requirements, gives guidelines, provides information and indicates to
appropriate personnel, the procedures to be followed with respect to the
Project Quality Management Plan.A sample outline of the Project Quality
Management Plan is referred to in the appendix.

❑ The main objective in project quality management is making sure that the
project meets the needs it was originally created to meet—nothing
more, nothing less. In other words, to ensure quality, you must meet the needs
of the stakeholder.

PROJECT QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN

A quality plan is a document, or several documents,
that together specify quality standards, practices,
resources, specifications, and the sequence of activities
relevant to a particular product, service, project, or contract

PROJECT HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN

❑ The health and safety plan of a project mainly describes what kind of
hazards are involved in a project, how they can be eliminated or
controlled, and what sort of equipment will be used to ensure the safety of the
workers.

❑ The Project Health and Safety Plan is a document developed to secure the
health, safety and welfare of persons who will work or visit the site. It was also
developed to control the emission of toxic substances into the atmosphere
and control the keeping and use of substances that might be hazardous to
health. An outline of the Project Health and Safety Plan is delineated in the
appendix.

PROJECT HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN

Health and Safety Plans cover all aspects of safety
management including such things as hazard management, accident
and incident reporting, emergency readiness, along with other areas
such as contractor management. Health and Safety Planning will
enable progress to be mapped and performance monitored.

CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT

❑ Basically, the terms and conditions is what are being agreed by the parties
to a contract.

❑ A condition in a contract is an event or act that obligates a party to
perform an action or render a performance as specified in the
