Theme background with Cost Management Solutions

Benchmarking
The benchmarking exercise is generally carried out at much earlier stage of the project
cycle, which allows client to understand the target for proposed project and where and how
funds have been allocated. It provides an essential framework within which design and cost
allocations can be considered and balanced between varying elements and priorities in the
purview of what has been achieved on other similar projects.

We at Z plus PMS are able to draw on a wealth of statistical data collected from previous
similar projects and current market cost information. This data allows us to carry out
benchmarking exercises against functional and elemental cost breakdowns and enables to
make analysis of differences if any in allocations and so to allow reallocation of costs if
necessary, to take place to achieve best value for money.

Procurement and Contract Advice

Choosing a right procurement strategy and contracting model plays a vital role in achieving
the objectives of the project. Hence, it is important to understand the Project objectives
precisely and devise a strategy for procurement in terms of contract type, management
approach and Contract packaging including choosing the right form of contract. We believe
there is no "One Size Fits All" procurement strategy for any client embarking on capital, or
revenue spend programmes.

Z plus PMS senior management has adequate experience and right expertise in suggesting
suitable procurement strategy and advice the client on merits and demerits of available
options to enable client choose the most appropriate solution. Z plus PMS has in depth
 knowledge on various international forms of contracts including FIDIC and capable of
preparing bespoke contract conditions suiting the selected approach.

Cost Planning
Cost planning is vital to keep the cost of the project within a client budget and for this,
efficient control of design development process is a prerequisite. A complete cost planning
process is designed to achieve a balanced expenditure and control the design development
to meet the client’s budget. It is been established that elemental cost planning is the most
appropriate method of cost planning during the design evolution process wherein it enables
to set the total target costs and drills down to elements and sub elements so that a scientific
approach is adopted in adjusting the cost eventually aligning the design to meet the client
budget. Z plus PMS team over a period have studied standard established cost planning
models and have customised it to suit to local conditions and the report includes analyses
covering various economic ratios that helps specifically to identify the variants for balancing
the costs

Tender Management
A transparent process planned to manage the tenders for procurement of various packages.
This is synchronised with the construction schedule and worked back to establish milestones
for various activities involved in the tender management. The process includes shortlisting of
contractors for tender using a robust pre-qualification process and issue report for client’s
decision-making. The process involves manage / assist the client / PM in the tender
management process through pre bid, tender clarifications, and addenda and evaluate
tender submission from commercial perspective capturing omissions, deviations,
qualifications and inconsistencies in prices and prepare a report to enable to conduct
effective tender interviews until the selection of successful tender is complete. Z plus PMS
expertise to develop robust processes in alignment with client’s policies shall certainly add
value to client with greater transparency.

Post Contract -Cost Control & Contract Adminstration

While adequate care would have been taken in establishing the right contract packaging, it is
equally essential to ensure a sustained proactive and precise monitoring process is
established and continued effectively until contract closure in order to achieve the originally
set cost objectives. A robust reporting mechanism capturing the key cost, contract
information, risks with mitigation measures including cash flow forecast and progress
payments information that eventually provides a comprehensive understating of the cost and
contract aspects of the project on a monthly basis. The scope during this stage involves
valuation of works for progress payment based on completed works and contract terms and
issue progress payment recommendation using quantities measured from GFC drawings
and establishing a process for managing the variations effectively including assessing the
variations from an entitlement perspective and value the variations in accordance with the
contract terms. And Z Plus have the established control mechanism for the Final account
closure for packages completed.

Z plus PMS team with well-established toolkit and with experienced management overview
can certainly meet the objectives until crossing the last hurdles in the project.

Lending Engineer Services

Theme Charts - it may be like flow diagram etc
Construction projects generally are vulnerable to variety of risks that comprises of both
internal and external factors. These risks need to be understood and allocated rightly
between the parties given that manifestation of such risks will inevitably give rise to costs,
more time to complete which could probably affect the business case itself. The construction
industry is quite complex with lenders not necessarily in possession of the resources or
expertise within their institutions to monitor all technical issues and performance
requirements and/or develop an informed view of associated cost issues. The professional
practice of Lending Engineer services / Project Monitoring services is therefore required to
minimize lenders’ risk exposure in the administration of its loan for a given construction
project. Z plus PMS expertise comes from protecting lender’s interest by providing an
independent verified, reliable and objective examination of the key risk parameters and
status updates on the project throughout the development process
