Balance .

Based upon the above example, we can have to consider
that:
In January,
HK$30K has been paid without income.
It indicates a result of negative balance which means the
contractor has to get HK$30K to cover the payment.
In February,
HK$40K and HK$20K have been expended and gained
respectively.
So, the balance is ‐20K which means the contractor has to get
HK$20K to cover the payment.

In March,
HK$10K and HK$100K have been expended and gained respectively.
So the balance is HK$90K which means this is a surplus and could
pay back the money which was borrowed to cover the previous
months’ negative balance.
In April,
HK$60K and HK$40K have been expended and gained respectively.
It comes to a negative balance HK$20K and to be covered from the
surplus of last month.
CON4157@VTC2021 CC BB‐NC‐ND 7
Summing up
HK$140K and HK$160K have been paid out and gained in
respectively.
The final balance HK$20K indicates that there is a profit made
from this project.

Question
What we could observe from the above?
From the above table, we observe that the picture payment out and in
for a project.
Mainly, it give an overview to the site manager / quantity surveyor that
there is a need to borrow money for the outstanding HK$30K and
HK$20K in Jan and Feb respectively.
The accumulated total is therefore HK$50K to be short.

• Formwork half will be the expenditures in January and February
respectively
• Steelwork half in February and March respectively

Additional Cost Data
Presume that there is an additional HK$20K to be paid for indirect costs as the
company overheads.
The total amount of construction will be HK$145K, so the profit margin is to be
HK$20K indeed.
Proposed / Agreed Payment Terms
The payment of work done will be scheduled as below:
HK$20K on completion of ground work.
HK$50K on completion of formwork.
HK$45K on completion of concreting.
HK$30K to be kept as retention money for one month after completion.

Lengthen Payments from The Client
When it is known roughly at which dates the client is likely to
pay the contractor, these are used in the analysis.
Let us say that the dates of interim payments should be 20
Sep, 20 Oct or 20 Dec.
Then, if you know that the client is usually 2 months late, you
put the expected payment dates to the end of Nov., end of
Dec, and Jan, in your cash flow analysis.
CON4157@VTC2021 CC BB‐NC‐ND 31
Lengthen Payments from The Client
Payment terms from terms of agreement
Even some government departments can be slow
at making money available to their contractors, and
the reputations of private clients for prompt
payment can vary enormously.

Credit Period
Wages are normally paid:
hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly & monthly.
Materials are often paid:‐
By installment
By credit account
Cash on delivery
Supply basis
Fixing basis
Supply incl. Fixing

Level of Accuracy
Preparing a complete and accurate cash flow
analysis can be a time consuming process.
An estimate of the amounts to be paid out and
received at the various stages can be made, if
time is limited.

CC BB‐NC‐ND 17
CON4157"AY2021
Level of Accuracy
In some cases the contractor will know roughly, based on
experience, how much money will out and in.
Of course, he could base the amounts which he anticipates
in the cash flow analysis.
Beware that the previous experience is not always
applying for different kinds of project (e.g. roadworks
instead of buildings) or different employers, they may have
different policy and agreement of payment terms.

Site Costing Objectives
• Cost report in weekly, monthly or

• Comparison between the budget and
actual expense
• Keep Updates from time to time

Site Costing Objectives
• Comparison ./. budget and actual expense
• Keep Updates from time to time
• Identification the tolerance and take necessary remedies
• Control the actual expenditure in conjunction with
scheduled
• Variances to be made against variance incurred
unforeseeably and by disruption events
• Analysis to be made in correspondence with the impact
of variances (i.e. claims)
• Feedback / result of increased cost for future reference
CON4157@VTC2021 CC BB‐NC‐ND 37
Pricing the Estimate
• the estimate is the predicted cost of construction
• the tender is the amount of money for which the contractor offers to
carry out the works and normally include
• the estimate ( Predicted cost / Price)
• an allowance for the firm’s overheads (OH)
• the profit which the contractor wishes to make (mark up)
• allowance for any additional risks (unforeseeable matters).

A contractor does not only has to pay for the labour
employed at the agreed rate of pay,
They also have to calculate all the additional costs for
employing them (i.e. holidays with pay, insurance, etc.)
