PRICING PREAMBLES
1. Introduction:
These Pricing Preambles set out the basis on which the Bills of quantities have been
prepared. Not with standing the provisions of these pricing preambles, the Contractor is
reminded that the Tender Drawings and the Specifications form part of the Tender
Documents and as such mutually refer to the intent of the Tender Documents.
Where a discrepancy occurs, it will be deemed that the Contractor has allowed for
the intent of the Tender Documents unless this is clarified specifically at the time of Tender.
2. Bills of Quantities:
The Bills of Quantities define the items that are measurable and the units of
measurement represent the entire work to be carried out in accordance with the Drawings
and the Specifications. The measurement items in the Bills of Quantities are to be accepted
as the full interpretation of the requirement of the Drawings and Specifications.
“Descriptions" are given in outline only, the Contractor is to refer to the Specifications and
Drawings and make himself familiar with the requirements.
No additional measured items will be allowed to interpret further the information so
given. Other requirements which are not measurable in terms of quantity of labor and
materials (e.g.. specialist supervision, shop drawings, bar bending schedules, as built
drawings, samples, tests, mock-ups, maintenance, materials, guarantees and the like) and
are not given as specific items in the Bills, are to be included in the prices of the measured
items. The method of measurement for the Contract is thus established by the measured
items and units of the measurement in the Bills of Quantities. No other measurement
method shall be used to measure the executed works.
The same method of measurement and no other will be used in re-measuring the
executed work.
3. Pricing:
The Contractor shall satisfy himself as to the meaning of every item in the Bills of
Quantities and the rates and prices inserted by him shall cover all Works required by the
Contract Documents. All costs in connection with the proper and successful construction,
completion and maintenance of the Works including, but not limited to, completion of all

temporary works, furnishing all materials, equipment, supply and appurtenance, providing all
construction Plants, equipment, tools, sampling, testing, profits, overheads, charges,
provision of guarantees, performing all necessary labor and supervision and other cost of
whatsoever nature necessary to fully complete the Works, shall be included in the unit and
lump sum prices called for in the bills of Quantities.
All Works not specifically set fourth as a pay item in the Bills of Quantities shall be
considered as subsidiary obligation of the Contractor and all costs in connection therewith
shall be included in the Priced Tender. Prices shall be deemed to include for all straight
ranking and circular cutting and consequent waste. All prices shall include all fees, levies and
taxes excluding the Value Added Tax (VAT).
4. Quantities:
All estimated quantities stipulated in the Bills of Quantities or other Tender
Documents are approximate and are to be used only;
a) As a basis for estimating the probable cost of the Work and
b) For the purpose of comparing the bids submitted for the Work.
The actual amount of work done under each unit price items may differ from the
estimated quantities. The basis of payment for work will be the actual quantities. The
Contractor agrees that he will make no claim for damages, anticipated profits or otherwise
on account of any difference between the amounts of work actually performed and the
estimated amount.
5. Items in Bills of Quantities
Such items are the subject of re-measurement of completion in accordance with the
General Conditions of Contract. Quantities given in the Bills are based upon measurement
from the Contract Drawings and Specifications.
6. Measurement
Metric measurements and weights have been used throughout the Bills of
Quantities. Work is measured net as fixed in position and each measurement is taken to the
nearest centimeter. Fractions of a centimeter less than half are disregarded and all other
fractions are regarded as whole centimeters. This principle shall not apply to dimensions
stated in item descriptions. Where minimum deductions of voids are dealt with they refer
only to openings or voids which are wholly within the boundaries of measured areas.
Openings or voids that are at the boundaries of measured areas are always the subject of
deduction irrespective of size.
7. Descriptions
The order of stating dimensions in descriptions is generally in the sequence of
Length, Width and Height. Unless otherwise stated in the Bills of Quantities or herein, all
measured items are deemed to include supply and fix in place complete, thus all measured
items shall include all incidentals to complete the work in a proper manner such as but not
limited to the following:
(a) Labor.
