When evaluating construction costs, it's tempting to focus on one number: ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ.
But effective procurement requires looking beyond the initial figure.
Consider:
โข Scope
โข Quality
โข Programme
โข Specifications
โข Contractor capability
โข Commercial terms
โข Potential variations
A lower initial price doesn't necessarily mean lower overall project cost.
The better question is: ๐๐ผ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ท๐ฒ๐ฐ๐?
This is where structured tender analysis and commercial oversight can help project teams make better-informed procurement decisions.
