Step-by-step teaching of status writing

Step-by-step teaching of status writing

If you are one of the people who are seriously looking to learn the construction situation writing (electrical, mechanical and building), you have registered for various classes, you have read many books in the field of situation writing, and you have watched a lot of educational videos. but in the end, you were unable to write the professional situation, how to present the price proposal, price analysis, meter and estimate, we recommend that you stay with us until the end of this educational article.

What is the purpose of preparing a status statement?

The purpose of the contractors in preparing the status report is to provide a financial report on the performance of the executive operations performed on the basis of the interim contract to their employer to determine the amount of Riyal performance in the project and, naturally, to request payment of this amount in the contractor's account.

The status report is prepared and adjusted by the contractor, and after review and approval by the monitoring device and consulting engineers, it is sent to the employer for approval and payment.

After checking and matching the total amount of the work done with the amount claimed by the contractor, the employer will deposit the costs of the work done to the account of the contractor.

It is necessary to explain that according to Article (37) of the general conditions of the contract, the status report is prepared and sent by the contractors at the end of each month, but these conditions can be changed according to the private conditions of the contract (in each contract, in addition to the general conditions)

For the contract, a notebook called the private conditions of the contract is prepared, which is specific to the same contract for each contract, and in which special conditions govern each project, such as project-specific technical specifications, payment methods, and price adjustment conditions.

before

Payment etc. is specified) or according to mutual agreements during the implementation of the projects, it is changed and the time intervals for sending status statements are reduced or increased.

If the contractor does the division of sending status statements correctly and claims his financial claims through several status statements, each status statement has the authority of a temporary status statement, because the contractor will complete the work until

He temporarily delivers the desired phase to the employer, so that he can enter the next phase of work after paying his demands.

What is the situation?

Perhaps the most frequent sentence that we all have heard about the definition of the situation statement is this sentence:

At the end of each month, the contractor measures the status of the work done from the beginning of the work to the date that is according to the executive plans, agendas, and the minutes of the meetings, and determines the amount of materials and equipment for the work, then based on the price list attached to the contract, the amount He calculates the situation and submits it to the supervising engineer at the end of every month. (Article 37 of the general conditions of the contract)

Maybe the above sentence is a bit confusing for beginners, but we intend to reveal the concept of status writing to you in another way.

Status means money

It means the income of the contractor, the salaries of the engineers of the technical and executive office, the money of the workers and in general the profit of the group

The concept of status writing was as simple as this, but if we want to express it in a more formal way, we can say that after doing any work, the contractor must obtain the amount of materials and equipment used in that operation by using a meter and multiplying it by the cost of execution. He will request the amount of the operation from the customer.

If after the completion of the operation, the work of writing meters, meeting minutes and sending the status report is not done and the money for the implementation of that operation is not paid to the contractor due to the delay in sending the status report.

The contractor will realize the financial loss and of course the salary of all the employees will be delayed.

Writing a basic condition statement is one of the most important activities that all civil engineers must master.

Because a little procrastination and inexperience in writing the status report will cause irreparable damages to both the contractor group and the employer group.

Step-by-step teaching of status writing

Before examining how to become a professional status writing form, it is necessary for you to be familiar with all the basic definitions of a project.

Perhaps the following example can help you understand why we say to keep the initial definitions.

We can safely say that more than 90% of those who are reading this article are enrolled in driving schools, did you start driving the first day you sat behind the wheel? Or that the coach first of all you with

Did you introduce equipment such as gas, clutch, brake and gear?

Learning how to write a status report is the same way. First, we will review the basic principles so that during the training, for example, when the word consultant engineer or meeting report is mentioned, you will be fully familiar with these words.

Definitions of basic terms for the teaching of posture writing

meter

In construction engineering, it is called the process of measuring the amount of materials needed to implement a project or calculating the amount of materials used in a project.
Pay attention, friends, if the meter is done before the implementation of the project, it means that we are doing the estimation work.

And if we do it during the implementation of the project and after the implementation of the project, it means that we are doing the measurement for meeting minutes and status writing.
meters before the implementation of the project related to the estimate
meters during or completion of the project related to the situation

price list

Erichche
In the 1950s, oil revenues increased significantly. According to that, executive bodies defined new construction projects.

In the meantime, the country was facing a shortage of materials, machinery and manpower, which caused a shortage of contractors to implement projects.

To solve this problem, the consulting engineers increased the suggested prices to attract contractors and use their facilities.

This increase in prices continued until the prices became completely unrealistic and there was a lot of inflation in this field. And finally, it led to a dead end in the implementation process of construction projects.

In order to prevent the irrational process of increasing prices to attract contractors, the organization of the program and budget of the time compiled a list of standard prices for projects.

Based on this, the first basic price list was prepared in 1355 for construction and road construction works. After that, the price list of different fields was gradually prepared and compiled

Below are some of the most important price index fields published by the Planning and Management Organization.

Electrical installations - mechanical installations - irrigation and drainage - pressurized irrigation - construction and repair of aqueducts - roads - railways and airport runways - highways - sewage collection and transfer network - water distribution - water transfer - dam construction - water management and natural resources - transmission and rural water distribution
