Order of Magnitude Estimator for Public Hospitals, etc.

1 October 2014

• IUSS Guideline Norms and Standards are intended to replace the old SAH Norms but not as absolute rather a guideline.

• Norms have three components:– Need norm – population driven– Area norm – based on service requirements, HT– Cost norm – area*rate/m²

• Cost norms are linked to time and programme for planning and construction will influence norm cost for a specific project – therefore linked to a base date.

• Planning units are the common denominator for the three components. Strategic (Service) PU versus Departmental (Functional) PU

OoM Estimator = application of cost norm = quick and easy budget for

hospital at initiation stage of project

How did we determine cost norms?• Analysis of cost of a number of hospitals into locations

or departments and into building elements linked to base dates determined the rate per m²

• JS Elemental breakdown .xlsx

• Determine norms bottom up. Currently rate/m² was determined by analysis of recently built hospitals. Acknowledge Ken, Steve and Riaan.

• Next phase: Design of ideal hospital departments which will then be measured and costed. Ongoing analysis of new hospital projects to inform norms.

• So what?

• ALL consultants to measure, estimate and report per department per element including E &M

Gazette 116 – 17 February 2014

Gazette 512 30 June 2014

Measurement in locations and elements

• Made compulsory by Gazette 116

• Detailed in document “Professional Service Provider instructions for Quantity Surveyors and Architects”

• 2014-03-31-IUSS-Space-guideline-QS-Architect-Instruction-development.pdf

• The above will apply equally to E&M Engineers

Detail Hospital Estimator under development (not peer reviewed)

• Purpose: Developed for use of project consultants and others to compare designed project against norms

• It uses more input and should be more accurate

• Will align with FAST(briefing tool) Facility Assembly Schedule Toolkit
