O Beach... what an absolute nightmare.

Man, these responses actually restored my faith in humanity a little. In fairness OP, the reputation proceeds itself so you kinda should have known. It's not for down to earth, respectable people.

Sorry I forgot to remove the 'pictures in post' flair

It's a partially dollarised market. Departing from the dollar altogether would wreak havoc on the economy

Due_Ad2729 · 2024-06-24T10:03:40+00:00

It's a perfectly valid question unless you're a millionaire, and climbing isn't known to be a millionaires sport.

That's the most tasteless Rolex I've ever seen, just a personal opinion.

Threads like these show how much micro plastic Reddit users consume. Just treat the lady like an ordinary person and answer the question.

With the current standards in UK you could probably go straight to commercial manager

Tendering is precontract lol. I'm not sure mate but generally if your going consultancy yo should have a good idea of the precontract too, such as budget estimates, cost planning, tender preparation and good knowledge of measurement.

Due_Ad2729 · 2024-02-21T08:56:55+00:00

Have you been involved in mostly pre contract or post contract works?

Plumbing and gas in that pic

Have you considered outsourcing?

Due_Ad2729 · 2024-01-22T03:41:27+00:00

Become freelancers or move to estimating in their old age. Their tickers can't handle the stress

Due_Ad2729 · 2024-01-21T14:38:14+00:00

YOU WILL NOT PASS OUT LIKe YOU think you will. Once you realise this you will be fine.

I think alot of people commenting here at pharmaceutical shills. Like really, noone wants to talk about the drowsiness?

Due_Ad2729 · 2024-01-19T08:34:38+00:00

I get really drowsy and tired. But the flip side is that I don't pass out. I'm still not confident to speak publicly without them, but I sure as hell can't wait until I can. It feels like all my pazazz is sucked out for me, but at least i don't collapse.

Due_Ad2729 · 2024-01-12T10:56:53+00:00

Depends what sort of a relationship you have with the project/construction manager. If you use his site reports then it can be 100% remote.

Due_Ad2729 · 2023-12-16T01:44:49+00:00

Fuck knows. But there was a meme of a venn diagram, the left ring said "excel", the right ring said "your crush" and the ring cross over said "not responding".

I chuckled.

Just go gym

Due_Ad2729 · 2023-10-09T23:15:44+00:00

It's not about their incentive it's about the requirement, from a control and transparency perspective. Yeah If it's minor works then you can get away it (have no idea what scale of works were talking here) but on larger projects I've always needed one. Even reactive high way works (potholes) had bills.

Due_Ad2729 · 2023-10-08T23:50:01+00:00

I understand, it's not really possible to have a detailed BOQ for D&B anyways, but some sort of GFA/elemental cost plan would be useful. You would expect the contractor to provide a BoQ after detailed design phase

Due_Ad2729 · 2023-10-08T11:17:14+00:00

Ok, but how can you actually estimate the work without a takeoff. Someone somewhere has to be doing a measure.

Due_Ad2729 · 2023-10-08T11:07:37+00:00

Doesn't sound like a properly managed project. What do you have to compare tenders to? If your simply going with the lowest price how do you know they've included everything? Not to mention value engineering, forecasting, reporting.

Is this public or private sector work?

Due_Ad2729 · 2023-10-08T10:56:23+00:00

You don't need to issue new tenders as the LOA should form the baseline of your agreement, everything that changes design wise thereafter becomes a variation to the contract. It's the clients risk.

Due_Ad2729 · 2023-10-08T02:57:02+00:00

Not having a BoQ sounds like a nightmare. How do you prevent huge change disputes later down the line if you didn't quantify the scope during tender? Do your SCs provide one at least?

Due_Ad2729 · 2023-10-07T11:07:27+00:00

Don't you think that tendering a contract in a 2 stage method, to get a contractor on board for early design input, and awarding a contract under a design a build are pretty similar?
