Abstract In the present work, a computer software package, GSS, is developed for repetitive items estimation with emphasis to build, operate, and transfer (BOT) projects. Estimation formulas after the Egyptian code and British Standards CESMM3 are implemented in programmable spreadsheets for infrastructure projects including sewerage networks subject to various conditions, the program serves in planning, preliminary design, tendering, financing and budgeting phases as well as for as-built quantity surveying and interim payments possibility of output inclusion in value engineering studies, bill of quantities (BOQs), running invoices, and progress reports accompanied with illustrative sketches is available with highest simplicity and accuracy as well. This in tum provides a rational and reliable extendable format suitable for the employer, investor, and contractor with time saving proportional with the project size along with elimination of cumulative calculation errors |
