Examinaton of the design-budget documentation
The problem of quality of the design-budget documentation somehow has imperceptibly removed from among purely technical, branch to the category macroeconomics. Really, in a complex estimation of quality of working out of the design documentation the impotent place the estimation of design decisions in sections of budget cost and design occupies the building organizations. After all from that, it is how much authentically defined cost of building of objects (especially what are under construction at the expense of budgetary funds), planning and distribution of capital investments, efficiency of their use in many respects depend. The analysis of results of examination of the design-budget documentation in the last two days shows that quality of the arriving budget documentation frequently does not correspond to any requirements. To us constantly to have to face with overstating budget cost of building.
Experience of consideration of a considerable quantity of projects on various design stages has allowed to establish the most typical errors at drawing up of the budget documentation, namely:
Wrong definition of other expenses, overhead charge, the planned cost price and recalculation factors in the current prices;
Inadequate selection of objects-analogues;
Cost definition in the mixed prices (1984, 1991, 2000 and flowing simultaneously);
Overestimate of expenditures of labour, machine-changes, transport and other expenses, costs of materials and the equipment at definition of budget cost by a resource method in the current prices;
Overestimate of terms of duration of building, leaders to increase in expenses on вахтовый a building method, travelling and living expenses and so forth.
We render services in the analysis of the budget documentation on building and repair, and also services in drawing up of building estimates on following cases:

Check of correctness of application of quotations, price marging, factors - examination of estimates is necessary for you;
Verification of amounts of works under estimates with really executed (departure of experts on object is required) is required to you;
