The three most common basic objectives of project management are: the lowest cost, the best quality and the shortest time. In many cases, the realization of one goal often requires compromise of another. In formulating the project plan and implementing the project plan, Dahua is committed to pursuing the best scheme of balancing the three objectives.

service content

Dahua provides the whole process of cost consultation and contract management services to make the best use of the owner's investment and maximize the investment benefits after the completion of the project.

Feasibility study stage

Preliminary estimates to develop a realistic budget.

Deepening Design Phase

In the process of planning and design, the budgetary estimate matched with it is compiled and checked one by one.

Through participating in value engineering and value management including cost research, cost comparison and use cycle cost analysis, the design team is assisted to achieve the most economical design plan.

Tender stage

Suggestions on the type of contract to be adopted

Value engineering and risk management for cost research, cost comparison and use cycle cost analysis according to the specific situation of the project, to assist the design team to obtain the most economical design plan

Implement fair and fair bidding procedure

Formulate comprehensive bidding texts such as Bill of quantities, contract provisions, specifications of materials for bidding or negotiation with selected contractors

Contract Enforcement Phase

Estimate the progress of the project regularly and formulate interim payment proposals.

Estimate report of total cost on time during the construction period

Estimate engineering design changes under consideration and provide reference for Architects

Measure and formulate engineering design change list and reach agreement with contractor on cost increase or decrease

Work closely with other members of the design team to maintain the original budget by controlling project costs during the construction phase.

Audit and evaluate the contractor's reasonable price increase requirements in the contract

Making General Accounts of Engineering

Dahua QS-BIM Software

Dahua is an accredited partner of CostX <. CostX enables us to obtain fast and accurate material estimates from two-dimensional drawings, and by using the most advanced electronic estimation system, we can obtain quantities from three-dimensional building information model (BIM).

Bill of Quantities

Bidding and contracting with Bill of Quantities (BQ) can increase the accuracy of quantities estimation and help to determine reasonable prices.

The bill of quantities translates the drawings and technical specifications of the design team into text descriptions and quantities according to standard calculation rules. The bill of quantities will be distributed to all construction units participating in bidding to ensure that each bidder correctly evaluates their respective prices on the same basis as competitors.

Bill of quantities is a part of engineering contract and an effective tool for cost management after contract execution. It can be used to determine the amount of interim payment, engineering variables and final accounts, and plays an important role in any contract dispute.

The bill of quantities can be adjusted according to different types of contracts, such as general contract, design and construction contract, management contract, fast track contract, etc.

risk management

Libby understands that it is extremely important for all project participants to share risks in a reasonable way.

Libby has extensive experience in contract management, and will try to properly allocate the risks to the project participants, thus helping the owners to minimize the risks they are exposed to. Considerations include:

Whether the party dealing with the risk has the necessary expertise and technology, the comparison of the amount involved in the risk and the amount of the contract, and which party can control the risk more effectively, etc.

For all kinds of risks involved in the project, Libby assesses and measures them as pessimistically and ideally as possible so as to facilitate owner's decision-making and control.

Dispute Resolution Service

As the construction procurement process itself is more complex, compensation and disputes in the contract are sometimes inevitable. Libby knows that expertise in this area plays a key role, so the company's scope of service also includes contract management and dispute resolution. Specific services include strategic management proposals, mediation, quota and planning proposals, arbitration, litigation support, and expert services.
