Budgeting by the resource method

The method, which is based on the calculation of the real price of all cost elements of the estimate, is called resource. It was introduced into the system of estimates in the early nineties as more accurate in the face of continuous price increases. The resource methodology for preparing estimates is based on the fact that there are three main types of construction work, including the working hours of builders, the operating time of machines and mechanisms, the consumption of basic materials and building structures.

Based on this, the estimated cost of the project is calculated by summing up the salaries of workers, the costs of materials, products and building structures, as well as the operation of machines. But, unlike the base-index method of calculation, the cost of the components of the estimate is based on the real prices of resources and the wages of workers during construction, repair or reconstruction.

The calculation of the estimate according to the resource method is carried out according to design and regulatory data on the need for materials and products, methods of their delivery, transportation distances and time of use of construction machines, the need for electricity and labor costs of workers.

The data obtained by this method are illustrative, based on the current prices of all types of resources and most accurately reflect the real cost of construction at any stage. In addition, with a further change in prices, the estimated resource cost can be recalculated. However, there are a number of difficulties for the widespread introduction of the resource method of developing estimates.

Difficulties in using the resource method

budgeting

When compiling cost estimates using the resource method, the estimated level of costs is often lower than the actual costs of the contractor.

Due to the high labor intensity and a significant amount of estimates (it is necessary to carefully analyze all construction resources), computers and special programs are required to speed up the process of compiling them.

When calculating resource estimates, it is impossible to fully determine the costs at the design stage of construction.

Due to growing inflation, resource estimates must be constantly recalculated, which is quite laborious and complicates the control of the cost of construction costs by the customer.

Application of the resource method

drawing up estimates

To date, the resource method of developing estimates can be recommended for some types of construction and works with a small number of consumable components.

It is most appropriate to use it during current repairs, restoration works and in specialized construction.

The resource methodology is most often used to compile local resource sheets and local cost estimates.

Due to the difficulties in assessing the current cost of materials and work, the calculation of estimates by the resource method is practically not used for objects with budgetary financing.

MAIN DIFFICULTIES AND ERRORS

during design preparation

The main difficulties and mistakes
with independent design:

Lack of an agreed project of the Sanitary Protection Zone (SZZ)
Lack of metering devices and objective (calculated) data on the required productivity.
Lack of title deeds to the land.
Inaccuracies in the preparation of the Terms of Reference: all the necessary studies were not taken into account, the documents listed above were not taken into account.
The justification of the price was performed incorrectly, on the basis of commercial proposals of non-specialized organizations, without taking into account the fulfillment of the requirements of technical conditions, the need for inspection of buildings and structures, etc.
Surveys, research, and design are performed by different companies, which causes delays and additional work.

Decisions from
Company "Gutman Construction":

We will analyze the existing situation, prepare the Terms of Reference for the SZZ project. If necessary, we will execute the project of SZZ and agree on it.
We will collect all the necessary data, make calculations and submit it to the customer for consideration. If necessary, we will temporarily install metering devices.
We will help in the preparation of documentation, if necessary, we will include it in the TOR for design.
We will analyze the existing situation and prepare the correct technical task.
We will prepare an estimate for design and exploration works and surveys, based on basic price guides.
We have considerable experience and qualifications for the organization of a full range of design and search works. Company "Gutman Construction" has SRO permits for both design and exploration work. We are guaranteed to provide a positive conclusion of the examination and support during SMR.

The cost of project development

The best offer from Company "Gutman Construction"

Company "Gutman Construction" uses a time-tested method to determine the basic (initial) cost of design and estimate documentation and exploration works: drawing up an estimate for the PVR according to the basic price guides. The estimated cost of design and research works is a justified initial cost of works, which is specified in the process of clarifying the scope of works and negotiations. The cost estimate for the PVR drawn up according to the basic price guides can be the justification of the price during the tender procedure in accordance with the legislation.

Also, we facilitate the attraction of credit funds for the implementation of energy service contracts (energy efficiency) and environmental projects.

Costs
on construction and assembly worksBased on variant design and modern technologies, we select the optimal solution. 3D modeling technologies help to avoid overspending of materials and minimize the possibility of mistakes.

Costs of design and research worksAt the same time, you get a high-quality project that allows you to realize your idea on time. Thanks to the comprehensive approach, all in one hand (collection of initial data, survey and measurements, research) and the experience of our specialists, we can optimize costs and offer you a competitive price.

Time during construction and assembly worksThe solutions adopted by our engineers and architects are not only reliable and aesthetic, but also thought out from the point of view of convenience and speed of implementation (flexible solutions from the point of view of execution of works).

⚠️ . As part of the design contract, we always prescribe warranty obligations and material liability for failure of deadlines.

We will prepare all technical tasks
