A working group, comprising Dave Lindenberg (chairman), M artin Smith, Professor Paul Bowen, M artin

Treadaway and K eith Cattell, undertook the compilation of a G uide to Elemental C ost Analysis based on a

previous version. A new version, with minor changes, has been prepared for use in Africa by a committee

of the Africa Association of Q uantity Surveyors comprising Dr C orn de Leeuw (chairman) representing

the Southern Region, Francis G ithaiga and Daniel K imoro representing the Eastern Region and Joseph

Ajanlekok o representing the Western R egion

The primary purpose of this G uide is to present a system for elemental estimating. However, the

document has been compiled in such a a manner as to enable and stimulate dedicated cost analysis and

cost comparison between construction projects

FOREWORD

5/28/2018 ECEA

4/521

The primary objective of this Guide is to present a system which sets out principles and a model format

for elemental estimating

Cost analysis

M eaningful elemental cost analysis will only be possible if cost data are based on a uniform standard analysis.

The estimator is therefore urged not to deviate from the system proposed in this G uide since only then will

it be possible to use the derived data for comparative elemental estimating and cost planning

Guide

The list of elements are as follows:

P rimary elements

Special installations

Alterations

External works and services

Training

P reliminaries

C ontractors fee

C ontingency allowances

Fluctuation

Tax

Salient features of Guide

The element P ILIN G falls under Special Installations as it represents an abnormal site condition and would

adversely affect meaningful cost comparison of typical building projects with different ground conditions

BASEM ENT EXCAVAT IO NS are deemed to be part of the site preparation and, therefore, have been included

with External Works and Services. There is no separate element called BASEM EN T and the basementcomponents such as floors, walls, etc, have been included with the appropriate P rimary Elements. However,

in a special case the estimator may decide to treat the basement as a separate P rimary Element.

There is an element IND EP ENDEN T ST RUC TURAL C O M PO NENTS applicable to unframed structures.

All slabs and staircases fall under the elements Structural Frame or Independent Structural Components,

as the case may be, and the G uide clearly indicates how these are to be provided for

C O NC RET E WALLS, whether reinforced or not, are included with External Facade or Internal D ivisions, as

the case may be, and not with the Structural Frame. Concrete walls are included with the External Envelope

or Internal Divisions based on a functional, rather than a construction, definition

PAR TIT IO NS is an element which is separate from Internal Divisions

The category SPEC IALIS T INSTALLAT IO NS includes all specialist subcontractor work, except for the

conventional Electrical Installation within the building. T here is a comprehensive list of Specialist Installations

which incorporates all the more frequently encountered specialist work

An element, M ISC ELLANEO US ITEM S, appears at the end of sections 1, 2 and 4 for any items which are

not catered for within the list of elements

TRAIN IN G is a bill required in certain countries mainly by government clients to be included in bills of

quantities and, therefore, is an element of cost

PRELIM IN AR IES includes a break-down of components. It appears at the end of the estimate

EXPLANATORY NOTES

5/28/2018 ECEA

5/522

C O NTRAC TO R S FEE is a separate section. This is an optional approach and the estimator may wish to

include the principal contractors fee on a pro ratabasis within the individual rates in the estimate. T he

Contractors fee is often a separately identifiable and negotiated amount, as in the case of multiple procurement

contracts, and it may be helpful to reflect this cost separately. However, it should be realised that this

approach will distort the cost analysis data

C O NTING ENC Y ALLO WANC E includes both P rice and Detail Development and Building Contract

C ontingencies as components. The Price and Detail Development Contingency is there to take care of

design development at the estimating stage, and the Building Contract Contingency is included to cover

unforeseen circumstances during the contract stage

FLU C TUAT IO N is included in order to provide estimated pre-tender and contract fluctuation in cost

TA X is included as an element of cost. The estimator should not attempt to indicate sales tax separately if

it is not readily identifiable.

Sections

The elements are sub-divided into the following sections: Primary Elements, Special Installations, A lterations,

External Works and Services, Training, P reliminaries, C ontractors Fee, C ontingency Allowances, Fluctuation

and Tax. Elements are defined and constant for all buildings, thus facilitating the use of information obtained

from a building when estimating the cost of other similar buildings

Element

Buildings are divided into elements (e.g. Substructure, External Facade, Roofs, etc). A n element is that part

of any building that always performs the same function irrespective of its construction or specification.

Elements should not be combined or divided

Component

Each element is sub-divided into components (eg the element R oofs is sub-divided into the components

of Construction, C overings, Insulation, etc). Where a specific component forms a high cost part of the

estimate, such component should be further sub-divided into sub-components

Measurements required for element or component

The measurement required is the actual quantitative unit of the element or component. Each of the elements

or components is considered and evaluated in the plane in which it occurs (eg the element R oofs would

be evaluated per square metre in the various planes of the roof, the component Downpipes per metre length

and the component Dormers per unit number). The quantity of an element or a component is measured

and multiplied by a monetary rate thus obtaining an estimated construction cost for that element or component

Unit

Unit denotes the unit of measurement of the individual element or component.

Composition of element or component

Each element comprises various components. Each component comprises various parts or sub-components

Taking off/Pricing notes

Taking off/pricing notes are guidelines to assist the estimator in the taking off and pricing stages of an

estimate

Code

The code is the numerical identification for each element or component

Cost

C ost is the cost of an element and is the aggregate of the component costs comprising the particular

element

Quantity

Q uantity is the actual measured quantity of an element or component

DEFINITIONS

5/28/2018 ECEA

7/524

Cost per unit

C ost per unit is the cost of an element divided by the measured quantity of the element (eg the cost of the

element Roofs divided by the area of the element R oofs)

Cost per square metre

C ost per square metre is the cost of the element divided by the construction area

Cost (percentage) %C ost % is the cost of the element expressed as a portion of the total cost

Construction area

The construction area of a building is the total of all the areas of a building measured on plan at each covered

floor level over the external walls or external lines of the outermost vertical enclosing planes or, where

applicable, the centre line of party walls between buildings

The following items are includedin the calculation of construction area

Internal stairwell and staircase areas

Lift shaft areas

Duct space areas

M ezzanine floor areas

Finished floor areas in attic spaces

Floor areas to penthouses, staff quarters, lift motor rooms, etc.

All open but covered porches, balconies and balcony corridors within the enclosing planes of the main

building

Floor areas to attached sheds, carports, etc., and all partially completed rooms, porches, balconies, etc.,

provided the relevant areas are covered and have at least two of their walls not less than two thirds of

the storey height on which they occur

The following to be excludedfrom the calculation of construction area

External steps and paved areas

Areas of projecting roof overhangs, hoods, canopies and the like

Enclosed open areas (light or ventilation wells and courtyards)

Areas of open covered ways and carports, etc

Areas of unenclosed fire escapes

Areas on plan of small projections such a pilasters, attached piers, fins, chimney breasts, etc

Training

G overnment clients in some countries may require the inclusion of an amount for training of individuals.

Training of candidates shall consist of institutional training on a competency based modular basis and

practical on-site training under competent supervision provided by the contractor
