 | Supplementary Items | This cost centre should only be used for exceptional items that cannot be reasonably allocated to the above elements.

Footnotes
 |  | For purposes of data capture:
 |  | The above costs should be reported at a "gross" construction cost level, i.e. where the Indirect Costs are spread over the Direct Costs of the work to provide equivalent "sell" rates.
 |  | Direct Costs:
 |  | - represent the estimated costs of undertaking the work through the contractors (or subcontractor's) resources. For the purposes of estimating methodology, Direct Costs are deemed to be exclusive of contractor's management and contingency and margins.
 |  | -  in a contract schedule provided by a contractor typically include an apportionment of the Indirect Costs such as Supervision and Margin.
 |  | Indirect Costs:
 |  | - represent the estimated costs of establishing and maintaining a construction site (on-site overhead or preliminaries) as well as the necessary management to coordinate and supervise the work (supervision).
 |  | - may not be shown separately in the contract schedule provided by the contractor if not requested.
 |  | - (by a contractor) may also include allowances for risk (and opportunity), may also include sundry adjustment and allowances not included in the pricing elsewhere
 |  | - an indirect [NAME] is provided on Page 70 of the May 2011 (Proof) version of BPCES.
 |  | Contractor's Margin comprises the estimated Contractor's Off-site (Corporate) Overhead and the profit margin expected for the project.
 |  | Unless an open-book  form of contract is undertaken, it is unlikely that the Contractor's Margin is declared in a contract schedule.
 |  | Financing costs are excluded from the above cost breakdown.
