• The Budget document, according to UNE 157 001, is other of the


eight basic documents of the project and its purpose is to
determine the economic cost of the object of the project.
• It will establish the scope of the prices, clearly indicating if some
concepts are included such as: overhead expenses and industrial
profit; taxes, fees and others; insurances; certification and visa
expenses; permissions and licences; and any other concept that

It is formed by the breakdown of the prices of the different Work Packages in a series of

Such a breakdown can be very diverse, although it usually includes the labour, the
expenses for the use of the equipment and the material used.

It should agree, in order

It can happen that some Work Packages and, of course,
the Lump Sums of Entire Payment, do not admit a breakdown.
This is not a reason to exclude them, but in order to keep the
same order and numbering as in the Annex Justification of
Prices, the expression “Without breakdown” should be written
under the line that describes the name of the Work Package
together with its corresponding price.

Área de Proyectos de Ingeniería


The Budget according to UNE 157001:
Budget
The purpose of the preparation of the Budgets is, obviously, to give an idea of
what a future work will cost. According to which the considered aspects are, and to the
demands about the organisation and the way of presenting imposed by the Property or the
Processing Organisms to which the Project will be presented, there will be different kinds
of Budgets:

• Material Realisation Budget.


• Budget for provision of the Contracted services.
• Other Budgets.

Área de Proyectos de Ingeniería


The Budget according to UNE 157001:
Material Realisation Budget
It is the sum of the products of the volumes to carry out of the different Work
Packages multiplied by the corresponding unit prices, plus the Lump Sums.

When we talked about the Bill of Quantities, we highlighted


the importance of dividing the Project in a series of sections (chapters
or objects) if the number of Work Packages was very big. Such a
division should be also kept in the preparation of the Material
Realisation Budget and, logically, both the order and the numbering
together with the names of the different Work Packages to estimate
should be the same as the ones showed in the Bill of Quantities
document.

Área de Proyectos de Ingeniería


The Budget according to UNE 157001:
Material Realisation Budget
For each of the chapters or objects, the preparation of the budget will be structured in a
table with the following features:
N. of the Work Name of the Measuring Unit Price Budget
Package Work Package (Units) (Euros) (Euros)

Obtaining, by addition, the Partial Budgets of the different chapters. The Material
Realisation Budget will result from the sum of the different Partial Budgets, without
forgetting to include the corresponding Lump Sums, both the ones “To Justify” as a
product of the estimated volumes by the corresponding prices of the Table of Unit Prices
and the ones “Entire Payment” which will be directly transferred from that Table of
Prices.

Área de Proyectos de Ingeniería


The Budget according to UNE 157001:
Material Realisation Budget

Área de Proyectos de Ingeniería


The Budget according to UNE 157001:

The Material Realisation Budget is prepared as the sum of the different Lump Sums, as it is shown
in the next scheme:

the place, date and signature.

The Budget according to UNE 157001:
Material Realisation Budget

Área de Proyectos de Ingeniería


Other Budgets: Other Concepts
I has been said that the Material Realisation Budget is made up by the Budgets of the
different chapters plus the Lump Sums. However, there are other concepts that are
compulsory or recommended to include in the previous Budget.
They are:

• Labour Risk Prevention Budget.


• Historical Patrimony Percentage.
• Quality Control Budget.

Área de Proyectos de Ingeniería


Other Budgets:
Labour Risk Prevention Budget
According to “Real Decreto 1627/1997, de 24 de Octubre, sobre Disposiciones mínimas
de seguridad y salud en las obras de construcción” it is compulsory if:
1. The material realisation budget included in the project is equal or higher than 75
millions of pesetas.
2. The estimated length is equal or higher than 30 workdays, being at some point
more than 20 workers simultaneously.
3. The volume of the estimated labour, meaning the sum of the workdays of the total
amount of workers is higher than 500.
4. In works in tunnels, galleries, underground conductions and reservoirs.
In the construction projects not mentioned in any of the previous points, the developer
must provide that in the writing of the project a basic study of health and safety is
included.
Área de Proyectos de Ingeniería
Other Budgets: The Historical Patrimony Percentage
The “Ley 16/85 de 25 de Junio de Patrimonio
Histórico Español” says, in the article 68:

“In the Budget of each public work, totally or partially funded by the State, a
bid item equivalent to 1% of the money that come from the State will be
included in order to fund the preservation or improvement of the Spanish
Historical Patrimony or to encourage the artistic creativity with preference in
the own work or in its near surroundings. If the public work has to be
constructed and utilised by private personal by virtue of an administrative
authorisation and without the participation of the State, the 1% will be applied
over the total budget for its realisation.”

Área de Proyectos de Ingeniería


Other Budgets: Quality Control Budget
Finally, the “Pliego de Cláusulas Administrativas
Generales para la Contratación de Obras Públicas
(1970)” establishes that the Contractor must carry out at
his/her expense the tests and analysis that the
Construction Management estimates as necessary, until a
maximum expense of the 1% of the Budget. Therefore, it
seems logic that this bid item is considered in the project
as a payment to the Contractor and that the quantity
would never be fewer than the required money for the
elemental tests and analysis that the project writer
foresees that should be demanded.

Área de Proyectos de Ingeniería


Budget for provision of the Contracted services
If the author of the project, in his prediction of the determination of the prices of the
different Work Packages had exactly agreed with the expenses that the future
Contractor would have spend in the realisation of those work packages; if the prices
had not been under the effects of inflation and if the Contractor has been hired with
exactly that Budget; the estimation of the budget would have been the same as the final
costs of the Material Realisation of the Work. This is true since the Material
Realisation Budget, includes the direct and indirect costs, meaning the ones imputable
to the work in question. If the Contractor hadn’t have any other expenses apart form
the ones that come from the realisation of the work and the amount of money reflected
in the Material Realisation Budget had been paid to him, there would not have been
any profit and any loss.

Área de Proyectos de Ingeniería


Budget for provision of the Contracted services
But the Contractor has other expenses:

•Central Offices.
•Expenses, trips, telephones, etc.
•Fiscal y financial expenses.
•Staff no assigned to a determined work (administrative assistants,
etc.).
•Administration taxes (tender, formalization, surveys, liquidations,
inspections y works management).
•Etc.They are added to the budget as...
GENERAL EXPENSES
Área de Proyectos de Ingeniería
Budget for provision of the Contracted services
If those General Expenses were added to the Material Realisation Budget and if the
previous hypothesis were true, the Contractor would be compensated for all his
expenses, but he would not obtain any profit. In order to take this into account, a new
bid item must be added and it is called Industrial Profit.

A work is a product, and once it is finished it is sold by the Contractor to the Property,
(although it is paid during its development). As any product that is sold, the Value-
Added Tax (VAT) should be applied. This tax will be a percentage of the amount that
sums the Material Realisation Budget plus the General Expenses plus the Industrial
Profit.

Área de Proyectos de Ingeniería


Budget for provision of the Contracted services
The “Ley de Contratos con la Administración Pública” establishes the
way of preparing the Budgets for provision of the Contracted services in the

work MUST be considered, with their corresponding VATs.

After the promulgation of the “Decreto de medidas liberalizadoras en materia de suelo y de


Colegios Profesionales BOE 15/4/97, Ley 7/1997 de 14 de Abril”, it is not appropriated to
established any compulsory rate, remaining in this last category the visa fees of the College.
Therefore, the fees of the technician must be freely agreed by the parts and then, they
should be added to the budget.
