choose a file (breackdown example) and the BCIS not in the information it is attached in the reference file, you will choose a random
breakdown structure and compare it to our hotel and do similar one. of hotel projects and propose an outline cost plan for the project.
Then also find and compare 4 hotels in Dubai city which also have the same budget as our hotel (Ex: Sheraton, Hilton, Rotana), its about
(5000 – 6000 DHS/sqm). The BCIS example attached is in Euro Currency You must change it to (DHS/AED) UAE Currency.

It is nine months on from Stage 0 and the client is facing some financial difficulties. They are demanding a 10% cut in the budget from
the design team. Prepare a report on how this can be achieved by proposing elements of your cost plan to be targeted for a VE study and
explaining why they have greatest potential for achieving the saving whilst minimising impact on the quality and integrity of the
development. You are encouraged to make radical value engineering proposals which go beyond traditional cost cutting. “ So you will cut
10% from the SAME BCIS you did in Stage 1 – The project budget” , You will use the file “HotelCostModel” attached. You can also use other
