Abstract AR
هناك دور استراتيجي لصناعة الإنشاءات في دول العالم المتطور و دول العالم التي تحت التطوير.
تعتبر صناعة الإنشاءات في فلسطين من أكبر الصناعات التي تعمل على تشغيل الأيدي العاملة، كما تساهم بنسبة 17 % من قيمة الدخل القومي.
تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى عرض حالة دراسية عملية يتم فيها توضيح كيفية تقدير التكاليف بواسطة المقاولين المحليين و كذلك معرفة العوامل التي تؤثر على تقدير التكاليف.
أظهرت النتائج بأن أهم خمس عوامل تؤثر على تقدير التكاليف هي: الوضع المالي للمالك، نوع المشروع، حجم عمل المقاول، موقع المشروع و طريقة دفع (VAT).
Abstract EN
The construction sector has a strategic role in developed and developing countries.
Employing more than 16 per cent of Palestinian work force, the sector is the largest industrial employer in Palestine.
The construction industry accounts for 17 per cent of the value added to the gross national product.
Cost estimation is a fundamental part of the construction practice as it represents the compilation and analysis of many items that influence, and contribute to, the total cost of project.
The aim of this paper is to present a practical case study on cost estimation practice of a construction project implemented by a local contractor while project clients’ was the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
The findings obtained from the case study showed that the most five important factors that affect contractors’ cost estimate are financial status of owner, type of project, contractor workload, location of project, and method of paying Value Added Tax (VAT).
Excluding VAT from the quotation analysis sheet will provide more accurate and obvious bid estimates.
Therefore, clients and owners are encouraged to advertise their projects based on zero VAT rating.
The results of this study recommend that there is a need to change the traditional awarding system for contracts from the first lowest bidder to the most accurate one
