Assignment : Tender Documentation

For this assignment, we need to form a group of 7 people. We need to prepare the tender documents for the calling of tender. There are total 4 documents that we need to produce.

For this assignment, we need to find the drawings ourselves. We need to find a Double Storey house with complete drawings. 

​

After we confirm the drawings, we start to do the measurements. We need to measure all the elements of the house. We divide the task among our group members. I will be doing slab and external work within lot boundary. It took us almost one and a half month to complete all the measurements.

​

Next, we start to prepare our tender documents. There are a lot of forms that we need to include in the tender document. We can get it either from consultant firm or previous projects. Besides that, our final printed BQ must be done using Buildsoft software.

​

There are total 4 documents that we need to submit. The first document is “PROJECT CORRESPONDENCES & INTERNAL MEMOS”. This document includes correspondences with client and other consultants, query lists, programme of work, internal memos to group members and allocation of duties.The second document is “MEASUREMENT DETAILS”. This document includes draft BQ, all of the taking-off list and dimension paper.The third document is “TENDER DOCUMENTS”. This document comprising all the printed parts of the documents.The fourth document is “TENDER DRAWINGS”. This document includes all the drawing that fold into A4 size.

We also have a presentation. We need to present our tender document to our client. We should include all the information that the client wants to know from the tender document such as the instructions and conditions of tendering, form of contract and etc.

After our presentation, the lecturer gives us some comment. We should list out the element in the BQ because the client wants to know which element is included in the BQ. Besides that, the lecturer also asks us about the Daywork Rates, Earnest Money and Performance Bond.

Reflection 

Through this assignment, I learn how to prepare a tender document. The tender documents contain a lot of forms such as declaration of non-collusion, form of tender, form of bank guarantee for earnest money and etc. Besides that, unlike previous assignment, we only need to measure particular elements, this time we need to measure the whole building. I learn that time management is really important in this assignment. Our group is able to finish the assignment on time because we start our assignment earlier.Furthermore, I want to say thank you to my entire group member. We are able to carry out a good teamwork and finish the assignment on time. I think our group have done a really good job because all of us have put a lot of effort into this assignment. Lastly, I need to say thank you to our lecturer for helping us and guide us on this assignment.
