Renovation Rehabilitation Government Tenders in India

Why refurbishment is priced differently from new build

Refurbishment carries a risk new construction does not: nobody knows exactly what is behind the wall. Tender documents in this category are built around that uncertainty. Buyers commission condition and hazardous materials surveys before going to market and issue them with the bid pack, and bidders are normally required to attend a site visit that is a condition of admissibility rather than an option. A price submitted without the site visit is usually rejected, and a price submitted without reading the survey is usually regretted.

The pricing mechanism reflects the same uncertainty. Provisional sums and contingency allowances are written into the bill for work that can be foreseen but not quantified -- structural repair once finishes are stripped, asbestos removal, services that turn out not to match the record drawings. Those sums are expended against instruction and measured at agreed rates, so the rates a bidder offers for opening up and making good can matter more to the final account than the headline tender figure.

The constraint that most often drives cost is occupation. Much of this work happens in buildings that stay in use: schools during term, offices during business hours, wards that cannot close. That produces phased possession, temporary decant space, out-of-hours and weekend working, dust and noise limits, fire and escape route management around a live population, and separate security vetting for operatives. Heritage or listed status adds consents, specified materials and specialist trades on top. Bidders who price the work and not the phasing are the ones who claim for disruption later.
