Selection of Site

Site surveying

Soil Investigation

All consultants involved have to visit

the construction site to choose and
decide the most suitable orientation for
the project. Some factors to be
considered
when
selecting
a
construction site are :Location and area of the construction
site
Earth topography
Existing infrastructure and public

can be identified to determine the
ground profile of the site.
Objectives : to identify soil
strata and determine the soil
strength as well as to validate
and to gather more information .

2. ANALYSIS &
DESIGN STAGE
Designing Work

Preparing
drawings and
work
specifications

Cost Estimation

During this stage, it involves 3 stages ,

architectural design, structural and civil
engineering
design,
electrical
and
mechanical design.
The design must meet the requirements of
the Fire and Rescue Department and
Uniform Building By Law 1984.
Information obtained from the design
stage is used to prepare working
drawings. The working consists of
design, structural and service drawings.
At
the
same
time
standard
specifications for construction work are
prepared.
Is prepared based on working
drawings and standard
specification, whether in the
form of bill of quantities or lump
sum.

3. MANAGEMENT
STAGE
Gathering
Information

Tender Award

Employing
Workers

When all work in the analysis and design

stage completed, information such as
standard work specification, addendum
specification, work drawing list, instruction
and check list for tenderers, tender brief
and contract form are gathered and
compiled together in the tender document.
Tender offering is advertised after the
preparation
of
tender
document
completed. When the tender offer is
closed, QS makes an evaluation to choose
the qualified contractor to receive the

iii) Preparing temporary road
iv) Preparing temporary building such as
site office,
material & equipment store,
guard house, canteen etc.
v) Preparing fences and safety and project
signboard.
Involves the process of preparation of

the required formation level as in the

working drawing. Cut and fill works are
carried out with reference to base level
line and datum that site has been setup.
Cutting and filling work are carried out
until the site level is exactly at the
formation level.
