The government has updated the rules for determining the cost of construction. The changes primarily concern how customers should calculate and justify the cost of construction work and materials.
This is important for communities, budget institutions, and other customers, because it is on the basis of such calculations that the expected cost of projects and procurements is formed.
What has changed?
One of the key areas of change is a greater focus on current market prices.
When determining the cost of construction, it is important for the customer to use substantiated and current data on the cost of materials, products, equipment, and other resources.
That is, if the price of a construction material on the market has changed, the estimate should take into account the real situation, and not automatically rely only on outdated indicators.
Why is this important for communities?
Communities often face a situation where the cost of materials changes significantly between the moment of project development and procurement.
New approaches should help to more accurately determine the expected cost of construction and avoid significant discrepancies between the estimate and actual market prices.
For the customer, this means the need to more carefully justify the prices that are included in the project cost.
What does this mean for suppliers?
For suppliers of building materials, the changes also have practical significance.
If the customer is analyzing current prices, commercial offers, price lists, invoices and other documents that confirm the real cost of the goods may be important.
Therefore, suppliers should monitor the relevance of their prices and have documents that allow them to be confirmed on the date of the calculations.
In simple words
The main idea of the changes is that the cost of construction should be as close as possible to the real market situation.
For communities and customers, this means a more substantiated approach to the formation of estimates and the expected cost of purchases. For suppliers, more attention is paid to confirming current prices for building materials.
Therefore, when planning the construction, repair or restoration of facilities, it is important for customers to check whether the prices included in the estimate correspond to the actual market situation.
