Dear Claire:
DHA RAM
CONSULTING
Thank you for inviting us to submit a proposal to provide cost and risk consulting services. We
are very keen to be a part of this important project.
We believe that Dharam Consulting has the individual and collective capability to provide
exceptional cost and risk consultancy services to facilitate the delivery of your project on time,
to budget and to the desired quality. All of our people have experience of working with premier
architects, owners and developers both in the US and globally.
Simon Hough will be the Director -in -Charge. He will be supported by our local office cost
consultants, and they will attend key client and design team meetings when required. They will
support the architectural, structural and MEP specialists to produce the detailed estimating
work. We are well versed in the use of BIM and 3D technology and would welcome the
opportunity to work with you to establish a protocol which would aid quantity extraction for
checking and verification purposes and supplement our 2D work.
We have worked with all the main CM's working in this sector and we have a good track record
of challenging, reconciliation and collaboration with them.
Our extensive experience in the global and local market place has allowed us to develop a highly
detailed cost data base which includes benchmarking information of high quality projects of this
type.
We have broad experience of working on LEED projects. Our LEED Consultant can provide
meaningful support to our cost services as well as in dedicated LEED workshops providing cost
data on system appraisal and material selection from a first cost as well as whole life cost
perspective. We can also perform Life Cycle Cost Analysis work on materials or systems if
required.

Total Lump Sum Fee Proposed for this Project is $10,000.00 (Ten Thousand Dollars and
Zero Cents).
Comprehensive project cost estimating at the following design phases:
Provide a single estimate at 100% Concept Phase.
Services included in this fee;
• Provide a fully detailed Cost Model which is commensurate with the level of detail
provided in the drawings and specifications. Where design information is incomplete,
or options are still in play we will work with the design team to agree on budget
allowances or provide additional detail and include this in the estimate to ensure the
total cost of construction is reflected in our published cost plan. Estimate will be in Uni-
Format and CSI summary if required.
• We will attend up to 3 virtual design team meetings for each work phase.
• We will provide a confidence level commentary on the pricing levels that we have
included in our estimate especially relating to any allowances for work yet to be
designed and for any other target budgets.
• We will solicit prices from appropriate local vendors, review information from surveys
and reports.
• Research comparable pricing of local and similar national projects.
• The format for the estimate will be reviewed and agreed with the team prior to its
development.
• We will provide one (1) revision to each estimate when required to account for
corrections and/or clarification and to test and document scope modifications that are
deemed necessary to meet the construction budget.
• We will suggest and vet design and construction alternatives as appropriate.
• We will review and comment on any outstanding risks that we perceive.
• Review and comment on the construction schedule informing cost considerations in
relation to project duration, general conditions and general requirements.
• Comment on LEED considerations and provide general support to achieve client
objectives.
• Provide a written opinion on the additional cost per unit of incorporating new units into
the 1 -tower concept.
• Provide a written opinion of the reasonableness of the cost estimates for both the l-
and 2 -tower concepts. Our statement of reasonableness will encompass all primary
elements namely Site Work, Commercial space, Car Parking and the main Apartment
tower.
