3) Each of the other consultants will work on their own design. Civil

and structural engineers, mechanical and electrical engineers,
and other specialists will make sure that the architectural design

is followed out.

4) All consultants, including the architect, will prepare a hardcopy

drawing and hand it over to the quantity surveyor, who will
update the cost plan and obtain budgetary approval from the

client. This could be different if a building information modelling
(BIM) system is implemented, in which all plans, drawings, and

requirements are coordinated online.

5) The tendering process will begin after all the necessary
coordination has been completed, the client's financial

provision has been established, design issues have been

resolved, and client requirements have been established. After
that, the quantity surveyor will prepare a complete set of tender

documents to ensure that the tendering process runs well. The

client's criteria for public sector tenders must be followed, as
well as any appropriate private sector practices. QS must

provide a tender evaluation report to suggest a suitable
contractor to the client. When one of the tenders is approved,

the pre-contract period will come to a close.
