In the competitive world of Australian government contracting, success hinges on accurate costing and efficient project management. When bidding on public infrastructure projects like schools, community centers, and municipal buildings, it’s crucial to account for project management time during the concreting estimating process. In this article, we’ll explore the key aspects of accounting for project management time, as well as independent verification of subcontractor quotes.

Project Management Time Accounting:

1. 1. **Identifying Project Stages**: Break down the project into distinct stages like design, planning, procurement, construction, and completion.
2. 2. **Time Allocation**: Estimate the amount of time each stage will require, considering factors such as the complexity of the project, team size, and any potential delays.
3. 3. **Labour Costs**: Incorporate the cost of labour for project management staff into your estimates.
4. 4. **Overhead Costs**: Account for overhead costs associated with managing the project, such as office space, equipment, and utilities.

Independent Verification of Subcontractor Quotes:

1. 1. **Research**: Look into the subcontractor’s reputation, experience, and previous work in the industry.
2. 2. **Comparison**: Compare multiple quotes from different subcontractors to ensure you’re getting a fair price.
3. 3. **Check References**: Reach out to past clients to get a sense of the subcontractor’s quality of work and reliability.
4. 4. **Verify Documentation**: Ensure that the subcontractor provides detailed quotes, including breakdowns of costs and any relevant guarantees or warranties.
