Learning outcomes
Code Description
LO1 Demonstrate knowledge and critical understanding of the principles of project
and cost control in the context of the building surveyor’s role.
LO2 Identify the factors that can affect the cost of a building at both the pre-contract
and post-contract stages and how to control costs by assessing design
solutions and lifecycle costs.
LO3 Integrate theory and practice by using established techniques to produce cost
estimates and lifecycle costs.
LO4 Discuss procurement strategies and the processes used in contractor selection; and
describe the main standard forms of contract, contract documentation and contract
administration processes.
LO5 Investigate, analyse and apply judgement to devise solutions to costing, procurement
and contract issues, contractor selection and financial control.
The learning outcomes shown in bold text are fully covered by this assignment. It should be noted
that Learning Outcomes 4 and 5 are not covered.
Preamble
The assessment for this module comprises a preliminary cost study (this assignment, 10%
weighting), and a final project report (Assignment 2, 90% weighting) based on the following
scenario. You are required to work on your final project report throughout the module.
Scenario
Your client is a developer who owns a greenfield site at Gregory Place on the edge of town. They
have outline planning permission to construct a two-storey apartment block as shown on the
attached drawings, (D0494, D0496, D0497 and D0498). The four apartments will be available for
private rental. Initial site investigations have identified areas of ground with poor load-bearing
capacity to part of the building.
You are providing contractual and cost advice to the client from design through to completion.
Task
You have been asked to provide a preliminary cost study for the new apartment block and have
obtained a cost analysis (Appendix 1) to use in the preparation of the cost limit.
Clearly stating your assumptions:
a. Complete the following table identifying differences in design factors between the two
projects and with the use of examples, explain how these factors may affect the initial and
long-term costs of a project.
b. Critically evaluate the appropriateness of the cost analysis in establishing a cost limit for
the proposed apartments.
You should prepare your preliminary cost study in a report format.

Reference list and bibliography
You should include a reference list with a minimum of two separate relevant and appropriate
sources that you have written about and directly cited within your work. A bibliography of uncited
sources is not required.

Example:
Roof Pitched timber roof

(assumed)
Discussion could include:
• assume similar

unknown for historic
project e.g. shape, pitch
• extent of dormers, flat
roofs to balconies
unknown adding to
complexity of building
element
• costs have not been
isolated for dormer roofs
or balconies.
• long term costs –
maintenance on
proposed development
will be simpler due to
construction design and
two-storey
• consider whether or not
a pro-rata adjustment
could be made to the
EUR for simpler
construction at
proposed development.

Guidance for students
This guidance is designed to help you to do as well as possible in your assessments by explaining
how the person marking your work will be judging it. This should ensure you are aware of what they
are looking for when you prepare your assessment. When you receive feedback on your
assessment, the guide should also help you to see where you gained marks and how you could
have improved your mark.
Every assessment will have a brief. The assessment marking guide should be read alongside the
assessment brief. In the brief you will be told what you have to produce. So, for example, you might
be asked to:
• select an example of a building you are familiar with;
• provide a report on a particular aspect of that building for an identified client;
• make recommendations for the client on the identified aspect of the building.
The assessment criteria marking grid will enable you to make judgments about how you should
approach this assessment at this academic level.
It is recommended that you read the assessment grid before attempting each assessment
and keep in mind what will help you to achieve the highest marks as you work on the
assessment. Once you have finished you should review the assessment before submitting it, to
check you have done what is required to achieve the highest marks to the best of your ability.
When you receive your feedback from your tutor you should clearly be able to see which categories
you lost/gained marks in. The feedback should provide you with more detail on the extent to which
you have achieved each of the criteria, as well as with recommendations about how to improve your
performance going forward (where relevant).
Further information to support you with this assignment is available within the study materials for
this module on the UCEM VLE. If you have any questions about this assignment please contact
your Module Tutor or Module Leader via the VLE.

Warning
Plagiarising someone else’s work, whether copying from the internet, UCEM study materials, a
textbook, a fellow student or elsewhere, is a serious offence. Before you submit your work for
assessment, you must check it to ensure that you have fully cited within the text all the sources of
information you have used and that all your sources are listed in a reference section at the end of
your submission. Quoted text must not be excessive in length. You will find guidance on correct
citing and referencing in The Harvard System – The UCEM Guide to Referencing and Citation in the
‘Study skills’ section on the VLE.
Be aware that your work will be checked using anti-plagiarism software. If plagiarism is identified,
this will result in a severe penalty ranging from loss of all or part of the mark to exclusion from your
programme.
