    Average Construction Payment Drawdown

    The tabulation on next page is derived from the statisticalaverage of a series of case histories, which will give anindication of the anticipated rate of expenditure when usedfor a specic project for preliminary budgetary purposes.

     All data are related to the date of submission ofcontractors’ claims to the client and not actual payment,

    which is generally one month later

    No adjustment has been made for the retention moneyon the assumption that such money will be paid by theclient into a joint account with the Contractor.

    The payment of the outstanding monies due to thecontractors and sub-contractors after the date ofpractical completion takes place at irregular intervalswith payments spread over an indenite period.

    The average rate of claims expenditure on constructionprojects are from Php100,000,000 to Php 1,300,000,000

    and/or greater than one year but less than two yearsconstruction period to practical completion.

    Developing the BERDE Certication Functional Chart

    The PHILGBC Board of Trustees is the highest policymaking body in the Ecologically Responsive DesignExcellence (BERDE) Rating System and owns theBERDE Certication Mark.

    This agency was structured and owns the BERDECertication Seal. The BERDE Development Teamprovides nalization and approval of the BERDE RatingProgram. They conduct periodic review on the Rating

    and provide technical assistance, where necessary andapplicable in the interpretation of the said Program. TÜVRheinland Philippines are envisioned to undertake theBERDE assessment activities, to include documentationreview, reporting and shall appoint a technical person/panel to independently review the Assessment Reportand be responsible for the award of the BERDECertication.

    Proposed Timeline for BERDE Rating Program

    Man-day Table and Fee Structure TÜV RheinlandPhilippines charges on a man-day rate basis forits assessment and certication and/or registrationactivities. TÜV Rheinland Philippines in collaborationwith PHILGBC, will develop a man-day table or matrixto determine how much time (man-days) is needed,considering the size and complexity of the project, such

    as location, size of lot, number of oors of the building,for the Assessment Team to spend for its assessmentand certication activities, such as but not limited todocumentation review, assessment and documentation/report preparation.TÜV Rheinland Philippines shallcharge the current man-day rate and registration feesduly approved by PHILGBC and published accordingly.

    Minimum Program Requirements

    Each project must meet minimum requirements inorder to quality for BERDE certication. All projectsmuch comply with applicable environmental laws, be

    a complete permanent building or space, have a siteboundary (distinct property lines), comply with minimumoccupancy rates, commit to sharing whole buildingenergy and water usage data, and comply with aminimum building area to site-area ratio.

    SCORING AND RATING

    The BERDE Rating System provides a cross‐cuttingmeasure of building performance. Weighting is a centralconcern when combining performance across credits andcredit categories. This work is an effort for the BERDEweighting system to address the social, economic andenvironmental impact priorities of the Philippines.

    Objectives

    The BERDE 1.0 Credit Weighting Tool was developedto provide a transparent and reproducible systemfor understanding building impacts and using this

    information to assign weights to individual BERDEcredits. The workbook is a decision support tool that isintended to provide a framework for creditweighting – and not denitive answers.

    Weighting Approach

    The BERDE weighting system is based on the conceptthat the value of credits or CRITERIA will be determinedby a basic weighting equation (see below). This equationbrings together information on indicators addressed,impact categories (i.e. social, economic, environmental),and the relative importance of CRITERIA indicators. Thisapproach is implemented in a Microsoft Excel based

    workbook called the BERDE 1.0 Credit Weighting Tool.The tool ultimately provides a set of credit weightingssuch as those illustrated in the screen shot below.

    BASIC WEIGHTING EQUATION

    UN Sustainable Development Indicators Addressed

    XSocial, Economic and Environmental Impacts

    X

    Relative Importance of each Impact

    =

    Credit or CRITERIA Weight

    Denitions:

    • Indicators Addressed: each BERDErequirement or CRITERIA addresses different UNSustainable Development Indicators

    • Impacts: each UN Sustainable DevelopmentIndicator (SDI) belong to different impact categories(Social, Economic and Environmental)

    • Relative Importance: each relevant DatabaseIndicator, that belongs to different UN SDIs,

    compares the Philippines’ standing against the rest of theworld. The data puts the Philippines better or worse thanthe World average. A “worse than the world average”standing gives the indicator a relative importance.

    LEED® Green Building Rating System

    Background on LEED® 

    Following the formation of the U.S. Green buildingcouncil (USGBC) in 1993, the organization’s membersquickly realized that the sustainable building industryneeded a system to dene and measure “greenbuildings.” USGBC began to research existing green

    building metrics and rating systems. Less than a yearafter formation, the members acted on the initial ndingsby establishing a committee to focus solely on thistopic. The composition of the Committee was diverse;it included architects, real estate agents, a buildingowner, a lawyer, an environmentalist, and Industryrepresentatives. This cross section of people andprofessions added a richness and depth both to theprocess and to the ultimate product.

    Features of LEED® 

    The LEED Green Building Rating Systems are voluntary,

    consensus-based, and market-driven. Based on existingand proven technology, they evaluate environmentalperformance from a whole building perspective over abuilding’s life cycle, providing a denitive standard forwhat constitutes a green building in design, construction,and operation

    The LEED Credit Weightings

    In LEED 2009, the allocation of points between creditsis based on the potential environmental impacts andhuman benets of each credit with respect to a setof impact categories. The impacts are dened as

    the environmental or human effect of the design,construction, operation, and maintenance of the building,such as greenhouse gas emissions, fossil fuel use,toxins and carcinogens, air and water pollutants, indoorenvironmental conditions. A combination of approaches,including energy modeling, life-cycle assessment, andtransportation analysis, is used to quantify each type of

    impact. The resulting allocation of points among creditsis called credit weighting.

    The LEED 2009 credit weightings process is based onthe following parameters, which maintain consistencyand usability across rating systems:

    •  All LEED credits are worth a minimum of 1 point.•  All LEED credits are positive, whole numbers;

    there are no fractions or negative values.•  All LEED credits receive a single, static weight in

    each rating system; there are no individualized

    scorecards based on project location.•  All LEED rating systems have 100 base points;

    Innovation in Design (or Operations) and RegionalPriority credits provide opportunities for up to 10bonus points.

    Given the above criteria, the LEED 2009 credit weight-ings process involves 3 steps:

    1. A reference building is used to estimate theenvironmental impacts in 13 categories associatedwith a typical building pursuing LEED certication.

    2. The relative importance of building impacts in each

    category are set to reect values based on theNIST weightings.

    3. Data that quantify building impacts on environmen-tal and human health are used to assign points toindividual credits.

    II. Overview and Process

    The LEED 2009 green building rating system fornew construction and major renovations is a set ofperformance Standards for certifying the design andconstruction of commercial or institutional buildings andhigh-rise Residential buildings of all sizes, both publicand private. The intent is to promote healthful, durable,affordable, and Environmentally sound practices in

    building design and construction.

    Prerequisites and credits in the LEED 2009 for newconstruction and major renovations addresses 7 topics:

    • Sustainable Sites (SS)• Water Efciency (WE)• Energy And Atmosphere(EA)• Materials And Resources (MR)• Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)• Innovation In Design (ID)• Regional Priority (RP)

    LEED 2009 for new construction and major renovationscertications are awarded according to the followingScale:

    • Certied 40–49 points• Silver 50–59 points• Gold 60–79 points

    • Platinum 80 points and above

    GBCI will recognize buildings that achieve 1 of theserating levels with a formal letter of certication

    When to Use LEED 2009 for New Construction

    LEED for new construction was designed primarily fornew commercial ofce buildings, but it has been appliedto Many other building types by leed practitioners.

     All commercial buildings, as dened by standardbuilding codes, Are eligible for certication as leed fornew construction buildings. Examples of commercialoccupancies include Ofces, institutional buildings

    (libraries, museums, churches, etc.), Hotels, andresidential buildings of 4 or more Habitable stories.

    Registration

    Project teams interested in earning LEED certication fortheir buildings must rst register the project with GBCI.

    Projects can be registered on the GBCI website(www.gbci.org). The website also has information onregistration costs for USGBC national members as wellas nonmembers. Registration is an important step thatestablishes contact with GBCI and provides access tosoftware tools, errata, critical communications, and other

    essential information.

    Certication

    To earn LEED certication, the applicant project mustsatisfy all the prerequisites and qualify for a minimumnumber of points to attain the established project ratingsas listed below. Having satised the basic prerequisitesof the program, applicant projects are then ratedaccording to their degree of compliance within the rating

    system.

    III. Minimum program requirements

    The LEED 2009 minimum program requirements (MPRS)dene the minimum characteristics that a project Mustpossess in order to be eligible for certication underLEED 2009. These requirements dene the categoriesof buildings that the LEED rating systems were designedto evaluate, and taken together serve three goals: to giveClear guidance to customers, to protect the integrity of

    the LEED program, and to reduce challenges that occurDuring the LEED certication process. It is expectedthat MPRS will evolve over time along with LEED ratingsystem improvements. The requirements will apply onlyto those projects registering under LEED 2009.To view the mprs and the MPR supplemental guidance,visit the LEED resources and tools section ofwww.usgbc.org/projecttools

    IV. Exemplary performance strategies

    Exemplary performance strategies result in performancethat greatly exceeds the performance level or expands

    the scope required by an existing LEED 2009 for newconstruction credit. To earn exemplary performancecredits, teams must meet the performance level denedby the next step in the threshold progression. For creditswith more than 1 compliance path, an innovation indesign point can be earned by satisfying more than 1compliance path if their benets are additive. The credits

    for which exemplary performance points are availablethrough expanded performance or scope are noted Inthe leed reference guide for green design & construction,2009 edition and in LEED-online.

    Development Data – Measurement of Building Areas

    Prior to 1989, the development intensity for residentialdevelopment was measured in terms of density i.e.persons per hectare. For non-residential developmentssuch as industrial, warehousing, institutional, commercialbuildings etc., the intensity was measured in terms ofplot ratio.

    Following the introduction of the new development chargesystem from 1 September 1989, the Gross Floor Areaconcept was adopted to determine the developmentintensity of a building, thereby standardizing theprevious methods of calculating development intensityfor different types of developments.

    The denition of (GFA) Gross Floor Area in this ofceas per Rider Levett Bucknall Philippines OperatingProcedure No.2 (OP-02):

     All covered space fullling the functional requirementsof the building measured to the outside face of the

    external walls or the external perimeter. Areas occupiedby partitions, columns, internal structural or party walls,stairwells, lift shafts, plant rooms, water tanks and thelike are included. Sloping surfaces such as staircasesand car park ramps have been measured at on plan.Note that;The rooms passing through two or more storey (e.g.foyer, atrium, lobby etc.) - the area is measured onceonly at oor level.

    The rooms passing through two or more storey with agallery or mezzanine – the area is measured once onlyat ground oor level and the area of the mezzanine or

    gallery added.

    Extreme care must therefore be taken to ensure that anyareas quoted by the Architect or Client are understoodby all parties.

    Gross Floor Area (G.F.A.) – The sum of the “FullyEnclosed Covered Area” and “Unenclosed Covered

     Area” as dened.

    Fully Enclosed Covered Area (F.E.C.A) – The sum of allareas at all building oor levels, including basements(except unexcavated portions), oored roof spaces andattics, garages, penthouses, enclosed porches andattached enclosed covered ways alongside buildings,

    equipment rooms, lift shafts, vertical ducts, staircasesand any other fully enclosed spaces and usable areasof the building, computed by measuring from normaloutside face of the exterior walls but ignoring anyprojections such as plinths, columns, piers and thelike which project from the normal inside face of theexterior walls. It shall not include open courts, light wells,connecting or isolated covered ways and net open areasof upper portions of rooms, lobbies, halls, interstitialspaces and the like which extend through the storeybeing computed.

    Unenclosed Covered Area (U.C.A) – The sum of all areas

    at all building oor levels, including roof balconies, openverandahs, porches and porticos, attached open coveredways alongside buildings, undercrofts and usable spaceunder buildings, unenclosed access galleries (includingground oor) and any other trafcable covered areas ofthe building which are not totally enclosed by full heightwalls, computed by measuring the area between the

    enclosed walls or balustrade (i.e. from the inside face ofthe U.C.A. excluding the wall or balustrade thickness).When the covering element (i.e. roof or upper oor) issupported by columns, is cantilevered or is suspended,or any combination of these, the measurements shall betaken to the edge of the paving or to edge of the cover,

    whichever is lesser. U.C.A. shall not include eavesoverhangs, sun shading, awnings and the like wherethese do not relate to clearly dened trafcable coveredareas, nor shall it include connecting or isolated coveredways.

    Government System Implemented for Private

    And Public Construction

    In The Philippines, there are two distinct systems thatgovern the tendering and implementation of public andprivate construction contracts.

    Private Construction

    Contractors are usually selected on the basis of their

    reputations as competent builders or in considerationof their personal relationships with the project owner.Private contracts are also generally negotiated ortendered through sealed canvass bidding and somethrough electronic bidding (e-bidding). The contractis awarded at the price agreed upon through thenegotiation process. The terms and conditions of thecontract constitute the law or agreement between thecontracting parties.

    Public Construction

    Presidential Decree No. 1594 and its ImplementingRules and Regulations (much like the AB 92 of Sweden)

    primarily governs government infrastructure contracts,particularly those funded from local appropriations, bythe contract terms and conditions. However, for projectsfunded partly or wholly from foreign nancing, theInternational Conditions of Contract or “FIDIC” and thebank guidelines apply.

    The Implementing Rules and Regulations of PresidentialDecree No. 1594 and Its Objectives As an overview,Presidential Decree No.1594 has been formulatedand approved by the Government of The Philippinesto adopt a comprehensive, uniform and updated set ofpolicies and guidelines, rules and regulations covering

    government contracts for government infrastructure andother construction projects in order to achieve a moreefcient and effective implantation of these projects. Itis intended to:

    * Bring about maximum efciency in project implantationand minimize project cost and contract variations through

    sound practices in construction management.

    * Promote healthy partnership between the governmentand the private sector in furthering national development,and

  • 8/19/2019 RLB Rider's Digest (Phils.) 2013

    90/137

    Rider Levett Bucknall Philippines 2013 80

    * Enhance the growth of the local construction industryand optimize the use of indigenous manpower, materialsand other resources.

    Generally, government construction projects areundertaken by contract after competitive public bidding.Projects may be undertaken by administration or “forceaccount” or by negotiated contract only in exceptionalcases where time is of the essence, or where there is

    lack of qualied bidders or contractors, or where there isconclusive evidence that greater economy and efciencywould be achieved through this arrangement.

    Life Cycle Economy

    In government projects in The Philippines, a WarrantyPeriod of one (1) year is pr
