Our case study

Amawathura Asapuwa in malabe.5 storey building with a pagoda on the roof top.

InceptionStarting point of the entire project.Client initiates the project having a rough idea in

his mind.

Amawathura building was the idea of the board of the temple.

More space for people was a necessity.

FeasibilityDone under mainly 04 categories. Economic Financial Technical Environmental

Most of the client conducts the feasibility study.

An economic review to know the value for money of the project is essential.

For the selected building ,board took the support of a consultant to do the feasibility study.

Decision between floor area vs cost was taken.

Finally a viable project was chosen within the budget, to facilitate the required space.

QS does the realistic first estimates of the entire project.

Cube method, as the preliminary estimating method was used.
