1 Scope

This part of the standard deals with cost planning in building construction, in particular with the identification and classification of costs. It covers the direct costs of work performed for the new construction, conversion and modernization of buildings as well as the indirect costs involved; see DIN 18960 for specifications relating to the running costs of buildings.

The standard defines terms to be used in cost planning; it specifies the distinctive features of costs, thus providing a basis on which comparisons of the results of such cost planning may be undertaken. Cost data identified in accordance with this standard may, when used for other purposes (e.g. payment of contractor’s work, tax relief applications), be taken as input data for the necessary calculations. However, an evaluation of costs in terms of the relevant regulations lies outside the scope of this standard.

2 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

2.1 building costs all expenditure on goods, services, taxes and statutory charges as may be required in connection with the preparation, planning and execution of building projects

NOTE Building costs are referred to in this document simply as “costs”.

2.2 cost planning the full range of activities involved in the identification, control and management of costs

2.3 cost objective specification of the costs as the upper limit or target value for planning

2.4 cost identification forecast of costs that will be incurred or determination of costs actually incurred

Depending on the level of detail of the plans to which they refer, a distinction is made between the following levels of cost identification:

2.4.1 budget identification of costs on the basis of demand planning

2.4.2 preliminary estimate identification of costs on the basis of preliminary planning

2.4.3 approximate estimate identification of costs on the basis of design planning

2.4.4 final estimate identification of costs on the basis of preparation for execution

3 Principles of cost planning

3.1 General

The aim of cost planning is to ensure a building project is realized economically and with cost transparency while keeping within target costs.

Cost planning shall be carried out continuously and systematically on the basis of planning requirements (quantities and qualities) or cost objectives over all phases of a building project.

Cost planning can be carried out in accordance with the following principles:

⎯ costs must be adhered to by means of quality and quantity adjustments;

⎯ costs must be minimized for defined qualities and quantities.

3.2 Cost objective

3.2.1 Aim and purpose

The aim of the cost objective is to improve cost control, reduce investment risks and encourage early considerations in respect of planning alternatives.

3.2.2 Specification of the cost objective

A cost objective can be specified on the basis of a budget or by identifying costs.

Prior to specification of a cost objective it shall be checked that it can be realized in view of the other planning targets. When specifying a cost objective it shall be established whether this is the upper cost limit or the target value. This procedure shall also be used for updating the cost objective, in particular where modifications are made to the planning brief.

3.3 Cost identification

3.3.1 Purpose

The identification of costs serves as the basis for financial considerations and cost objectives, for cost control and cost management measures, for decisions relating to planning, contract awards and the execution of work, as well as being used to establish the actual costs incurred.

3.3.2 Presentation and completeness

The identification of costs shall be set out following the same scheme as the cost classification. All costs shall be set out and documented in full.

3.3.3 Basic data and supplementary information

The nature of the data on which the identification of costs is based shall be indicated. Supplementary information on the building project shall be set out following the same scheme as the cost classification.

3.3.4 Cost identification according to project phases

If a building project is divided into several phases (e.g. in terms of function, time, space or economics), then costs shall be identified separately for each phase.

3.3.5 Building projects relating to existing buildings

For building projects relating to existing buildings a distinction should be made between the costs of demolition, repair and new construction.

3.3.6 Existing building fabric and reusable components

The value of existing building fabric and reusable components shall be specified separately in the appropriate cost groups.

3.3.7 Client work input

The value of client work input shall be specified separately in the appropriate cost groups. For client work input, the cost of material and labour shall be entered in the estimate that would be incurred if the same work were carried out by a contractor.

B55EB1B3C7662F79D1B59483A53B9F2F82C98BEEB793868862C66DACD1FF05157CB37D1C97E95F9891BE74F36347E38EAE76DDAB44AB2A07FE05209C28813F816461E8E21C7E48E1572D000E05A0226BEDBB7C27B5ADB592E14F

3.3.8 Special costs

Where costs arise as a result of exceptional site conditions (e.g. terrain, subsoil, environment), of specific building project-related contingencies, or of requirements unrelated to the designated function of the building, such costs shall be specified separately in the appropriate cost groups.

3.3.9 Cost risks

When identifying costs, predictable cost risks should be specified according to their nature, their volume and their probability of occurrence. Suitable measures should be presented in order to reduce, prevent, pass on and control cost risks.

3.3.10 Base date costs and cost forecast

Costs shall be identified based on the base date costs valid at that moment in time, and this moment in time shall be stated when these base date costs are documented.

If the time of completion serves as the basis for the forecast of costs, these costs shall be shown separately.

3.3.11 Value added tax

Value added tax may be taken into account in one of the following ways, depending on the situation:

⎯ it is included in the costs given (“gross costing”);

⎯ it is not included in the costs given (“net costing”);

⎯ it is only included for certain cost items (e.g. for first level cost groups).

In each cost identification and when stating cost parameters, it shall always be specified in what manner allowance has been made for value added tax.

3.4 Levels of cost identification

In subclauses 3.4.1 to 3.4.5, the levels of cost identification are defined in terms of their purpose, the required basic data and the degree of detail.

3.4.1 Budget

The budget serves as the basis for the decision on the demand planning as well as for general economic and financial considerations, and for the specification of the cost objective.

The budget is particularly based on the following information:

⎯ information concerning the quantitative demand (e.g. space allocation plan with units, functional components and their areas);

⎯ information concerning the qualitative demand (e.g. constructional requirements, functional requirements, quality of standard items);

⎯ if appropriate, site information.

In the budget, at least the building construction costs shall be specified separately within the overall costs.

3.4.2 Preliminary estimate

Preliminary estimates serve as a basis for the decisions to be taken at the preliminary design stage.

Preliminary estimates are particularly based on the following information:

⎯ the results of preliminary planning, in particular design documentation, drawings;

⎯ calculated quantities of reference units of the cost groups, according to DIN 277;

⎯ supplementary information on design-related parameters, procedures and conditions;

⎯ information on the site and its development.

In preliminary estimates, the overall costs shall be determined by cost groups at least to the first level of the cost classification.

3.4.3 Approximate estimate

Approximate estimates serve as a basis for the decisions to be taken at the design development stage.

Approximate estimates are particularly based on the following information:

⎯ design documentation (e.g. finished design drawings (scaled according to type and size of building project)), and also, where appropriate, detailed plans of repetitive elements;

⎯ calculated quantities of the reference units for the cost groups;

⎯ supplementary information (e.g. description of individual items in the cost group scheme which are not evident from the drawings and analyses, but which are significant for the calculation and assessment of costs).

In approximate estimates, the overall costs shall be determined by cost groups at least to the second level of the cost classification.

3.4.4 Final estimate

The final estimate serves as a basis for the decisions to be taken at the execution planning stage and for the preparation of contract awards.

Final estimates are particularly based on the following information:

⎯ design documentation (e.g. final, complete working drawings (design, details and construction));

⎯ calculation (e.g. relating to structural stability, thermal insulation, services);

⎯ calculated quantities of the reference units for the cost groups;

⎯ supplementary information on the execution of the work (e.g. specifications of works);

⎯ documentation of tenders, commissions and costs already incurred (e.g. for the site, incidental building costs etc.).

In final estimates, the overall costs shall be determined by cost groups at least to the third level of the cost classification and be classified according to the respective award categories. In accordance with the project schedule the final estimate can be made in one or more steps.

3.4.5 Statement of final costs

The statement of final costs serves to establish the actual costs incurred which, where relevant, can be used for purposes of comparison and documentation.

Final costs are particularly established on the basis of the following information:

⎯ audited account records (e.g. final accounts, proof of client work input);

⎯ design documentation (e.g. measurement drawings);

⎯ supplementary information.

The overall costs shall be determined to at least the third level of the cost classification.

3.5 Cost control and cost management

3.5.1 Purpose

The purpose of cost control and cost management is to monitor cost development and to meet the cost objectives.

3.5.2 Principle

For cost control and cost management, the measures involved in the planning and execution of a building project shall be assessed continuously in view of their resulting costs. If discrepancies are detected during cost control, in particular if cost risks occur, these shall be stated. It shall then be decided whether the planning is to be continued unchanged or if specific measures in respect of cost management are to be taken.

3.5.3 Documentation

The results of cost control and the recommended and effected measures of cost control shall be documented.

3.5.4 Cost control regarding contract awards and execution

Updated tenders, commissions and invoices (including supplements) in respect of contract awards and execution shall be compiled according to the breakdown specified for the building project and shall be checked by comparing with previous results.

4 Cost classification

4.1 Structure of cost classification

The breakdown of costs as set out in subclause 4.3 provides for three levels of classification; these are identified by three digit-numbers.

In the first level of the cost classification, the overall costs are divided into the following seven cost groups:

100 Site

200 Clearance and development

300 Structure – construction works

400 Structure – services

B55EB1B3C7662F79D1B59483A53B9F2F82C98BEEB793868862C66DACD1FF05157CB37D1C97E95F9891BE74F36347E38EAE76DDAB44AB2A07FE05209C28813F816461E8E21C7E48E1572D000E05A0226BEDBB7C27B5ADB592E14F

DIN 276-1:2006-11

10

500 External works

600 Furnishings, furniture and artistic appointments

700 Incidental buildings costs

Cost groups 300 and 400 can be combined into a single group “costs of structure”.

Where required, these cost groups can be further differentiated into the cost groups of the second and third levels of the cost classification.

The breakdown of costs specified in this standard may be extended by introducing further cost subgroups on the basis of their technical characteristics (e.g. for differentiated cost planning), construction-related considerations (e.g. in view of contract awarding) or the location in the building or on site (e.g. for time scheduling or financial budgeting).

From the final estimate onwards, cost groups should also be systematically arranged in award categories so as to permit tenders, commissions and invoices (including supplements) pertaining to a given project to be compiled and checked against each other whenever required.

4.2 Execution-orientated cost classification

Where the individual case permits (e.g. in housing projects) or requires (e.g. in modernization work), a break-down of the costs that is primarily based on the type of work to be executed may be employed, with the cost groups of the first level of the cost classification already being subdivided on the basis of the work or trades involved. This corresponds to the second level of cost classification. For this purpose, a classification into work categories as set out in the Standardleistungsbuch für das Bauwesen (StLB) (Standard Building Performance Book – available at www.gaeb.de) may be used.

Where costs are broken down according to work categories, further subdivision (e.g. into part works), is necessary so as to enable the work to be described and recorded in terms of scope, characteristics and quan-tity. This corresponds to the third level of cost classification.

A systematic arrangement of the costs in award categories should also be undertaken when they are classified on an execution-orientated basis.

4.3 Cost classification table

The goods, services or statutory charges listed in the “Notes” column are given as examples of the respective cost group; the list is not intended to be exhaustive.

The costs shall be classified separately and clearly in the separate cost groups, wherever possible. If the same costs could be allocated to more than one cost group and a breakdown is not possible, the costs shall be broken down according the main determining factor (e.g. CG 390, CG 490, CG 590).

Cost group Notes

220 Public development Pro rata costs pursuant to legal provisions (improvement fees/ frontager’s rates) and costs arising from public works contracts for

⎯ the procurement or purchase of development areas against payment by the body responsible for the public development;

⎯ the installation or alteration of shared services (e.g. for sew-age disposal and for the supply of water, heat, gas, electricity and telecommunications);

⎯ the initial construction or subsequent extension of public traffic areas, of green areas and other open spaces for public use.

Charges for laying supply lines and connection costs shall be given separately.

221 Drainage and sewerage systems

Charge for laying supply line, connection fees

222 Water supply Charge for laying supply line, connection fees

228 Waste disposal Charge for laying supply line, connection fees (e.g. for waste disposal with direct discharge connection)

229 Public development, other items

230 Private development Costs for traffic areas and services that are constructed and supplemented without the developer being obliged under public law or commissioned to do so, the aim of such a development being its subsequent transfer to public use. Costs for installations on private sites fall under cost group 500.

Where necessary, cost group 230 can be subdivided by analogy with cost group 220.

240 Compensations Non-recurring costs, supplementary to the improvement fees, to be paid with respect to the planned building project in accordance with legal provisions. This group includes in particular lump-sum payments to discharge liabilities arising from public law provisions (e.g. for parking spaces to be provided, or trees to be planted).
