Design Phase
The approach to managing the project during the design will be pro-active not reactive. Our
integration into the design team and the provision of timely cost advice to the Consulting
Engineer will foster the positive approach of “design to cost” and significantly reduce the need
for redesign because of cost overruns.
The goal during the design phase is to complete a set of documents defining a cost-effective
Project that can be bid in the current local marketplace within the Owner‟s established budget,
performance and time requirements.
Contract Administration: We will provide necessary contract Administration services on behalf
of the client with the Consulting Engineer including but not limited to the following:
Monitoring and controlling the design schedule
Monitoring the performance of the Consulting Engineer in accordance with its contract
with the Client
Reviewing the work of the Consulting Engineer for conformance with Project
requirements
Reviewing and recommending payments of the Consulting Engineer‟s fee
Assisting the Client to negotiate resolution of disagreements with the Consulting Engineer
before mediation or litigation
Value Engineering Studies: is a formal and organized process to seek out the optimum value
for the initial investment level and long-term cost. During the early design stages, we will provide
2 value engineering studies once after the completion of the Schematic Design phase and
once during the Design Development phase taking into account capital, operating, and
maintenance costs to verity that the most cost effective design solution has been achieved. It is
important that these studies be carried out as soon as the necessary design data has been
developed. Our value engineering services will be oriented towards assisting the Client in
developing cost savings and efficiency increases either immediately or on a life cycle basis.
In recent years we have developed risk and value management as an integral part of project
delivery and our methodology is summarized as follows:
Risk Management Approach
Identification
Understand the base estimate
Identify sources of potential risk
Identify potential risks
Classification
Type of risk
Impact of risk
Consequence of risk

Project Cost Report: We will prepare a Project cost report to compare and monitor the budget
for the Project to the actual costs incurred and the forecast to complete. The report will specify
estimated cost compared to the Project and construction budget.
Document Review: We will review all design and contract documents, both technical and
commercial. This review, and subsequent report, will encompass establishing cost and time,
identifying alternatives, documentation, and potential problems. We will monitor compliance
with the Milestones Schedule dates and submit revisions to the Client for acceptance.
Monitor Design Schedule: We will monitor the design schedule prepared by the Consulting
Engineer to ensure compliance with Project time constraints.
Design Phase Progress Reports: We will develop and implement a system for flow of
information to all Project parties concerning design progress during this phase. We will apprise all
appropriate parties of any actual or potential constraints to the Project goals through written
recommendations for corrective action.
Public Relation: If appropriate, we will assist the Client in public relations activities, particularly
those with respect to community relations and developing interest among bidders.
Procurement Strategy: The initial step during this phase is the establishment of a contracting
and packaging strategy. The strategy will be minimize the risk during the implementation of the
project and achieving all its requirements. The available alternatives to the Client are:
Single responsibility – general contract
Separate early contracts, including early material or equipment purchases of long lead
items
Separate prime contracts
Direct management of separate trade contracts and labor crews.
Each of these alternatives provides advantages and disadvantages. A detailed plan will
analyze each alternative and provide a final recommendation. The plan will address issues such
as the competitive bidding versus direct negotiation, schedule impacts for each alternative,
logistical obstacle, quality and safety.
As part of this phase a detailed analysis to develop physical boundaries for each package will
be conducted. The will assure that:
the boundaries are logical for contractors during the implementation
all the scope is accounted for
no overlaps between packages exist
develop contract documents with clarity of risk, responsibility and specialization
Meetings: We will conduct periodic Project meetings for the purpose of assessing progress,
adherence to the Construction Management Plan, documenting performance, planning for
completion, and taking necessary action to resolve current problems.
At a minimum there should be a meeting to discuss results of constructional reviews at the end
of each applicable design phase, plus a final review of the documents prior to release of each
bid package
Constructability Plan: We review the evolving design of the various facilities from schematic
designs, design developments through detailed design with the objective of assessing the

economic viability of proposed materials/building system and hence recommending solutions
that will mitigate any possible negative impacts on the construction schedule and costs.
From the early design development phase, the Project Management Team will identify the
major building components (i.e. foundations, structural systems, underground structures and
services, façade and roofing systems, electromechanical plant and equipment) where the
installation of these items are directly dependant on other preceding critical trades. During this
phase, to continually undertake a Constructability analysis by evaluating the cost and schedule
impacts on the Projects.
The major criteria to be used by us throughout the design in the Constructability assessment are
listed here below:
Allowance for temporary integration of required crane age and material handling
equipment within the buildings during construction due to site restrictions.
Availability of required products locally and regionally as compared to sourcing from
the international market, particularly for limited quantities where cost and procurement
schedules may not be favorable.
Availability of specified materials through numerous competing sources to ensure best
price at most favorable delivery schedule.
Availability of local expertise for the systems and products specified.
Allowance of adequate tolerance in design to avoid construction problems and delays.
The above criteria will lead to fulfilling the project objectives and design through efficient
construction methods and proper material selections.
Project Policies and Procedures: develop and implement a Policies and Procedures
manual/project management plan (PMP) that will be tailored to the Development Project
requirements. The manual will be the guide for the project team, and will include a
management plan, which is a systematic, end-result oriented, living plan for the management
of the total program from pre-design through occupancy and operations in order to achieve
the programs goals. This plan defines how the project will procure design and construction
services, and defines the strategy and sequencing of the project. Together with detailed
policies and procedures, the manual will define the operating procedures for the entire project.
Pre-Qualification of contractors: a pre-qualification effort for all contractors is an effective
way of ensuring that participants are technically, professionally, and financially qualified to
undertake performance or supply obligations. A pre-qualification document will be prepared
and issued to potential Tenderness. Since the evaluation of the performance is for the most part
qualitative, the goal is to establish a legally supportable measurements system for the criteria
used. The most acceptable method is to use a qualify/disqualify test in conjunction with an
objective point rating system. This method will be developed in coordination with the Client
management. A minimum point score will be established for a contractor to pre-qualify.
In addition a questionnaire will be prepared to cover points such as:
Contractors‟ annual turnover, scope and value.
Current and future Commitments
Other prospects currently under consideration by the contractor

Financial stability and Bonding Limit
Arrange visits to other projects in progress or recently completed
Interview specific individuals assigned to the project and compel adherence to the
contractors proposed staffing
Prepare Construction Contracts for Execution: One of the advantages of being exposed to
construction claims is the understanding of the importance of good contract documents. It is
has been our experience that many construction disputes originate from weak contracts. The
civil and Architectural Consultant will prepare the contract documents that the Client may
have and want to use.
During the review of the contract documents we will be viewing for contradictions in clauses,
flaws in legal language, ensuring that scopes of work are clearly defined and that the general
and special conditions are in accordance with international standards.
Bid and Award Phase: The goal in this phase is to secure bidders for each bid package that are qualified, competitive,
interested in the work, and capable of doing quality work within the Project time requirements.
Bidding and Contracting Process: The bidding and contracting process is a key element in
Project success. We will aid and assist the Client in soliciting and pre-qualifying bidders;
delivering bid documents and addenda; opening and evaluating bids; monitoring compliance
with and execution of construction contracts; arranging for owner-purchased equipment and
materials; and arranging for the provision for permits and insurance.
Estimates for Addenda: We will review in detail all proposed addenda. The quantification and
pricing methodology should be that used in the final construction documents estimate
submitted to the Client for approval.
Pre-Bid Construction Schedule: We will develop a pre-bid construction schedule and identify
major milestones for inclusion in the bidding documents prior to transmitting contract
documents to the bidders. The pre-bid schedule information is provided as a best estimate of
the proposed work sequence, contractual restraints and dependencies, and the contract
and/or Project duration based upon the completed design, past experience, and the Project
status and forecast information available at bid time.
Contractor’s Construction Schedule: We will encourage successful bidder(s) participation in
the Master Schedule to make them aware of their scheduling responsibilities and obligations are
required by the Contract Documents.
Communication Procedures: We will develop procedures for recording and controlling the
flow of communications from the Consulting Engineer. We will aid and assist in the establishment
of the systems and procedures for communications between the Owner, Consulting Engineer,
Contractors and PM over the course of the Project.
Pre-Bid Conferences and Meetings: We will conduct the pre-bid conferences, which are
intended to be a forum for explanation of Project requirements concerning schedule, access to
the site, time constraints, Owner‟s administrative requirements, and technical information
pertaining to the Project. We and the Consulting Engineer will accept questions from bidders
and responds in writing prior to bid closing Minutes of Meetings will be recorded and officially
issued to all bidders.

Bid Openings and Evaluation: We will assist the Client in recording bid receipt times in a
formal procedure. We will evaluate the bids for completeness, responsiveness, and pricing and
should co-ordinate this evaluation with any technical review that may be required by the
Consulting Engineer. All bidder exceptions and clarifications will be resolved in a manner
suitable to the owner. Early bids should not be opened prior to the designated time, and late
bids should be formally returned unopened.
Post Bid Interview: We will conduct the post bid interview to discuss the proposed contract
with the bidder to whom award of the contract is being anticipated to be certain that they
clearly understand the Project scope and to discuss any bid alternatives the bidder may have
submitted. If applicable, we will confirm the absence of any bid errors and inform the bidder of
the permit requirements, as well as the required insurance documents, quality issues and any
special requirements of the contract documents. Items discussed will be documented.
Construction Phase The goal in this phase is the efficiency and expedition of the construction process through
professional planning and execution of Project activities, all focused upon fulfilling the Owner‟s
scope, cost, quality and time requirements.
Project Inspection: Periodic site inspection will be conducted to verify that the Contractor and
Consulting Engineer are fulfilling their contractual obligations. Progress of the Contractor will be
recorded and submitted noting any discrepancies. Daily logs will be kept and will contain a
record of weather, number of workers, work accomplished, work stoppages, problems
encountered and other similar relevant data.
Follow up: in obtaining building permits/NOC and special permits as required.
Review of comprehensive plans for temporary constructions facilities, utilities, off-site and on-site
transportation/access, central warehousing, lay down areas, and mobilization logistics. The plan

and test made, pertinent facts as to problem areas and recommended solutions
Nominated Subcontractors: It may be in the Client‟s best interest to procure specialized
equipment and building systems (see below) separately in order to achieve a competitive
price, standardization and lower maintenance cost. If multi Prime Contractors are used for
the contraction of the Project, each contractor may provide the equipment from the
supplier who provides the most competitive price. This may not be in the Client‟s best
interest as the quality of the equipment may differ, larger stock of spare parts will be needed
and familiarization of the different equipment during maintenance will be required.

Additionally, we have found that equipment suppliers will often provide price documents to
the end buyer against providing it through a general contractor. One way of avoiding these
issues is procure these items separately under a nominated subcontractor. We have
prepared a sample list below; however, the feasibility and complete list of such
procurement can only be made once the design is substantially completed.
Elevators and Escalators
Building Management System
Selected kitchen Equipments
Fire Alarm
Furniture, Fixtures, Equipment
If such procurement is necessary a separate system time phased procurement schedule will
be prepared and adhered to.
Contractor Co-ordination: We will establish procedures for scheduling and coordinating
the work of the Contractor to complete the Project in accordance with the Owner‟s
objectives regarding schedule, quality standards and Project budget. Administrative
procedure and standards forms have been developed on previous Projects and will be
implemented for processing approval and control of contract documents drawings, and
specifications, and change orders.
Scheduling: We will review and comment on the Contractor‟s Constructions Schedule level
1, 2 & 3 and analyze effect (if any) on the project schedule. Schedules to be analyzed from
the contractor include all construction activities, submittals and procurement plans. The
Contractor‟s Construction Schedule will be incorporated into the completion dates required
by the Master Schedule. We will continually monitor and report on the progress of all trade

Claim Avoidance: Enforcement of contract documents (on and off court). Active role
during the occurrence of a dispute and advice and recommendation on claim avoidance.
Claim Preparation: Establishment of validity and rightfulness, potential risks and benefits of
counter claim. Production of an in-depth legal analysis of Project Documentation.
Allocation of delay caused by Project Participants. Calculation of loss, expenses, and
damage. Negotiate strategy and settlement proposals.
We will perform a number of steps to maintain the claims management system, which is
similar to the change order management system. These include developing the system and
procedures, coordination with Project participants when a claims situation arises, meeting
with the Contractor to attempt to achieve the earliest possible resolution, making
recommendation to the client and tracking all claims through the entire process.
In addition, we will analyze the validity of claims, including technical, factual and
contractual elements of the claim and ensure that proper documentation is maintained for
the Project.
Alternative Dispute Resolution Service: Meditation Adjudication Arbitration
Claims Avoidance: We will also assist the Client in developing a claims avoidance system.
This includes risk analysis, development of appropriate provisions in the contract documents,
training of staff in effective techniques for avoiding and minimizing claims, and assistance in
the most effective means for resolving claims that cannot be settled at the Project level
Recovery Schedules: We will be directing the Contractor(s) to recover any lost time or time
delay that may result from various causes.
Claim Review: Once a Project is near completion of completed, we will review and
evaluate construction claims that remain open or are submitted after substantial
completion. Assist the Client by furnishing reports and supporting information necessary to
resolve the dispute(s) or defend against claims. We will make specific recommendations for
a claim management approach to investigation and fact finding legal review, and pricing
based on the merits of each claim outstanding. Additionally, we will identify any legitimate
defenses that may exist to mitigate all or a portion of a claimable issue.
Shop Drawings: We will closely track and review all contractor submissions, which are to be
sent directly to us for certification as a complete package. This procedure will permit us to
monitor all activities in the review process, using a computerized tracking system and
determine where shop-drawing delays may be adversely affecting the process. We will
record receipt of the package and forward appropriate copies to the consulting architect
or his sub-consultants for review and approval.
Punch Lists: In conjunction with the Consulting Engineer and the Owner, we will prepare a
list of incomplete or defective work (punch lists) prior to beneficial occupancy. When such
incomplete or defective work has been remedied, we will advise the Client and issue a
certificate of substantial completion, which indicates the work still yet to be completed as
exceptions to the certificate, in order to allow beneficial use, while still protecting the
Owner‟s interests. When we determine that all punch list items have been satisfactory
completed, the contractor‟s final estimated value of completed work will be reviewed and
the remaining monies due the contractor will be approved for payment.
As-built Drawings: We will have the Contractor maintain a marked set of working drawings
at the job site, indicating all changes and deviations from the original contract documents.

At the completion of all work, these plans will be given to the Consulting Engineer for
verification of the final as-built set of reproducible plans prepared by the Contractor.
Equipment Maintenance and Training: For the various items of equipment provided as
part of the Project, we will ensure that the Contractor provides operations and maintenance
Manuals, training sessions for the Owner‟s operating personnel and routine maintenance
service for the period of time as specified in the general conditions.
Payment Requests: We will implement procedures for processing the Contractor‟s
payment in conformance with the contract requirements. We will review the payment
requests submitted by the Contractor for accuracy and determine whether the amount
requested reflects the progress of the Contractor‟s work. After such review, appropriate
adjustments will be made to each payment application and then a certificate for payment
will be forwarded to the Client.
Long Lead Items: review the project drawings for the purpose of identifying long lead items
(such as machinery, equipment and material(s) which can or must be separately procured
in advance in order to assure completion of the project within the time specified.
Safety Program & Environmental Issues: environmental and health and safety policies
which are adhered to throughout its offices. We place the highest priority on health & safety
within our organization and on projects with which we are associated.

operation and maintenance manuals, assembling record drawings, and contractor follow-
up, Owner move-in or start-up, Contractor call back, and Contractor close-up.
Final Cost Report: We will summarize total Project costs in a final report, listing all change
orders and identifying any unresolved issues which may have a cost impact.
Spare Parts and Warranties: We will coordinate all requirements for spare pars and
warranties.
Final Permits: Dubai Municipality, DEWA, DU (telephone co.) and Dubai land require
permits to permanently use or operate the project. Some agencies are more stringent than
others and may require documentation, testing and statements concerning completeness
of the Project. Most require a final inspection. We will assure compliance with these
requirements and assist in securing all permits.
Final Payment: When the Contractor has completed all punch list items, we will arrange
with the consulting Engineer and the Client for a final inspection of the facility. When the
Client is satisfied that the work has been satisfactorily completed, we will make
recommendations, in writing to the Client, for final payments to the Contractor.
Contract Close-Out: We will coordinate and expedite the completion of Contractor
submittal requirements prior to contract close-out, including certificate of substantial
completion; completion of punch list work; final lien waivers; guarantees/warranties; and

Close Out Reports: All reports that have been issued during the design and construction
phases will be prepared in final form, summarizing the Project history. Cost accounting will
be prepared with the final resolution of all expenditures, these reports should officially note
the dates of substantial completion and commencement of warranties.
Project Management Control Systems (PMCS)
Planning and Master Schedule
Further to the above, a schedule management for the project packages/phases will be
implemented in Primavera for the hierarchy of schedule on the project as follows:
Project Master Schedule
Consultant and Contractor Project Schedules
Contractual Milestones
Overall Contract Schedule
Two Week Look Ahead
Submittal Schedule
The Project master is the overall evaluation and performance tool for monitoring the project
progress. It will be used to identify and coordinate inter-relationships between various
project components, authorities‟ approvals, client approvals and any other adjacent
projects. It will cover the various phases of the Project, Mater planning, Design, and
Construction. The Project master Schedule is developed during the planning phase in order
to establish a baseline. It also identifies major project milestones, and key contract and
financial milestones as identified in the various project contracts. This aspect of the Project
Management Services is detailed further later in this proposal.
The operation of this planning management shall include but not be limited to network
diagrams, schedule updates, computer generated schedules, reports and cost data
necessary to control and execute the project. All network diagrams requested shall be in
the precedence time scale format. The Project Manager will arrange to produce and furnish
to the Client, at the required intervals, the following schedules:
a) Master Schedule
Upon award of the contract we will meet with the Client to discuss and review project issues
with respect to the Project Master Schedule. This schedule will be developed, regularly
updated, refined and/or revised within the overall designated time span of the project and
will be furnished to the Client within a period of 15 days form contract award. Upon
approval by the Client, this schedule shall serve as the frame work for the subsequent
development of all detailed schedules.
b) Construction Schedule
During the construction period, we will review the construction schedule prepared by the
contractor. The schedule, once approved, shall be the contractual schedule against which
progress will be assessed. The schedule shall be sufficiently detailed so as to be suitable for
costs and resource loading against which payments the contract(s) shall be evaluated and
to ensure that the construction schedule is regularly updated to reflect the latest status of
works and tie it to established milestones keyed to the overall master schedule.
c) Adjustments to Project Master Schedules
Working with the various project parties involved, the Project Manager will, if deemed
necessary, revise, add or elaborate on original activities (within the overall time frame of the

project) to ensure complete understanding by all participants of activities to be
accomplished and submit the same to the client for approval.
Cost Control
The basic requirement of a project budget is that it be realistic. The graphic on the following
page illustrates the process that PM uses to create, update/revise, and monitor budgets. The
process that PM uses endeavors to ensure from the very outset that the project budget is as
realistic as possible given the data available at any one point in time. In order to avoid
adoption of an unrealistic budget the PM will schedule a workshop with project stakeholders
to discuss and evaluate the budget prior to formal Client approval.
Project accounting will be accomplished using Expedition the companion software to
Primavera® (P3) and will include budgets and cash flow reports for each contract required
to execute the Project. Reporting will include comparisons of current working estimates or
contracts compared to the original budget, costs of approved and pending changes, and
costs to complete to each contract. Expedition will again be used as the software for this
cost control component.
The operation of this subsystem will include information and details to allow the Client to
update the budget to reflect the latest information and adjust the project requirements. In
close coordination with the consultant the following items will be prepared.
Current Working Estimates
Throughout the Design Development and review the overall project budgets allocated by
the Client, advice and recommend any adjustments or allowances that may be required to
accomplish the Project Master Program. Once approved by the Client, the budget should
form the basis for cost and financial control of the Project. To ensure that the budget is kept
up to date throughout the life of the project.
Reports
Cost reports based on comparison between the budgeted versus construction cost
estimates developed will be prepared and updated at intervals in the approved formats.
Cost estimates will be in various and proper sorting.
Cash Flow Projections
We will oversee production, as part of the cost control system and related will the schedule
control subsystem, cash flow projections for funding requirements for execution of the
project.

Information Management
Communicating and managing the flow of information effectively will be a key factor in making
this project successful. It is essential that an effective communication framework is
implemented, which is capable of enabling all project parties to report on progress, express
challenges and discuss how to achieve the project objectives.
The developed communications framework should be clearly set out within the project
execution plan and we assume the following hierarchy may apply:
Identification of project team members, roles and contact details
Lines of communications and reporting (pictorial)
Forms of communication for information transmission
Document/drawing control procedures
Procedures for information collation
Meetings-terms of reference, attendance and agendas
Reporting formats
The management of information for this project will me mapped to the agreed
hierarchy/procedures and will take advantage of our extensive IT capabilities and knowledge
management systems to support the project.
Our companies QA procedures will set out in detail the processes by which was ensure that
both the quality and integrity of our services are maintained.
