Overview

Under the Standard Form of Building Contract 2005/2006 or the “Old Form” 1986, there are 3 “Golden Rules” for valuation of variation which we have to pay attention to in Private Sector, and the rules are:

Directly adopt the BQ/SoR’s rate
Pro-rata BQ/SoR’s rate
Fair rate.

In Public Sector, the approach of valuation of variation is similar, however, the rules are slightly different.

In this training course, our trainer will share with you some of the key step while doing variation (VO), such as:

When to directly use BQ/SoR rate?
When to use pro-rata?
When to use fair rate?
Final remarks and recommendations for adopting “pro-rata” and “fair rate” method

On completion of this training, you will understand the basic concept of valuation of variation under the Standard Form of Building Contract under Private Sector and Public Sector.
