Contract documents are all the technical documents that, when combined, form the basis of the contract between the construction firm and the client.
Contract documents include:
• builders’ specifications;
• bills of quantity;
• scope of works.
A specification is a document prepared by, for example, an architect or a contractor. It sets out the technical requirements of the building work, describes the project and adds clarity to any drawings, and states the requirements for materials and workmanship.
A specification has two main parts, the heading and the body.
A bill of quantity lists the quantities and prices of materials to be used to deliver a building contract. It is used by contractors to price up the work before bidding for the contract.
A scope of works lists all the tasks required to complete a specific building contract. It is prepared by the general contractor and is used during the bidding process and when drawing up the final contract.
It should include:
name and address of the issuing company;
name of the company the scope is being issued to;
name of the project;
date;
itemised list of works individually numbered.
Type the given bill of quantity for electrical work using appropriate software.
