INTRODUCTION This specification provides the definition of the Establishment of contract message (CONEST) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport. 1. SCOPE 1.1 Functional definition Upon completion of the tendering process, there is a requirement for the client or his representative to formally establish and issue the contractual Bill of Quantities. This documentation becomes the contractual basis for all future work and payment for the project. 1.2 Field of application The Establishment of contract message may be used for both national and international applications. It is based on universal practice related to administration, commerce and transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or industry. The following descriptions refer to the construction industry as an example, but do not exclude other business sectors' implementation. 1.3 Principles A BoQ is a set of documentation that describes the various facets of work that make up a construction project. This documentation is often quite voluminous and typically contains information structured in accordance with several industry standards. This documentation, or parts of it, is frequently exchanged between the parties involved in the project. A project is typically subdivided into individual groupings of work and within these groups are detailed work items. It is at the level of these detailed items that progress and payments are evaluated. During the life of a project numerous amendments to the original contractual BoQ will be made. This CONEST message will be used to establish all such approved amendments. The post tender exchange of contractual information occurs many times in the life cycle of a project, thus there is a role for this CONEST message throughout the duration of a project. The initial exchange takes place at the point the two principal parties in the project, the Client and the Main Contractor, agree a contract. At this point the entire BoQ will be issued by the Client's representative to the Main Contractor. This will replace any previous versions of BoQ's used during the tendering process. Further BoQ exchanges continue from the Client's representative to the Main Contractor as the project progress. These subsequent exchanges reflect the evaluation of the project and are used to amend the original contractual documentation with changes approved by both parties. The other major area of use for this message standard is during the exchange between the Main Contractor and those companies that have contracts to undertake subcontracted work within the project. The procedures are similar to those described above, as they too are establishing and maintaining contractual details, this time for subdivisions of the overall project with the Main Contractor as the "Client". This is only one of a number of messages being designed for the BoQ and the principles for this CONEST message are consistent with those adopted for each of the BoQ messages. There are several concepts to be understood and these are key to some of the design principles adopted. Most of these have been created to respond to two base problems associated with the BoQ documentation: i) A BoQ is often a very large document, it is not unusual for it to run to several volumes in its paper form. ii) Given the size of the document, there is also the problem of how to advise on the structure to which the document conforms and the accurate indexing and sequencing of information within such a volume of data. 1.3.1 Work Items Each individual component of work referred to in the BoQ is called a "work item" and it is at this level that progress and payments are evaluated. For each work item a description is provided and this description is very precise in its wording. This results in two things: i) A lot of repetitive descriptions for like items at least at the higher levels within these levelled descriptions. ii) A lot of similar work items, indeed the same description, often occurs a number of times throughout the project but assigned to different work items. Point ii) above has been addressed by a concept called "standard items", this enables an equivalent to standard library of descriptions to be exchanged and individual work items to reference a standard description that need be sent, only once. Frequently within a BoQ, elements of an item's description are common to adjacent items. When this happens the items which share the same description are grouped together and the common part of the description is presented once at the start of the group. This concept is used extensively and it is possible to have quite a number of layers of shared heading. Two distinctions need to be established: firstly, the existence of Heading text which is related to an item. There can be multiples of these as in the levels of a standard description. The second distinction is that of "Groups". Where a group is a collection of more than one work item and all of these items have a common theme. For example: - they all belong to the same trade - all for the same part of the project, building or structure. Despite the large number of items that they may embrace, or the fact that they represent substantial parts of the project, all of these are recognised as "groups". Thus, there can be several or many items within a group and there can be layers of groups within groups, all of which collectively constitute the project. 1.3.2 Indexing There are numerous variations for structuring the information that makes up the BoQ. Although, it is possible to introduce some standardisation it is clear that any message must allow the freedom to structure the data according to the dictates of a individual project. The design therefore, includes the ability to convey the document's structure as part of the BoQ message. Indeed the design allows for a different set of document structuring information, to be defined at group level as well as globally for the project. This means that a set of indexing rules can be defined to apply to the entire project and that a different set of indexing rules can be used to override these for a given group(s). To complement the indexing concept there is a component referred to as the "Project Index Reference". This is a faceted code assigned to all items of data that are to be used in conjunction with the index. In other words, all pieces of data that are to be structured using the index must contain a structured code composed in accordance with the index, and this is used as a "sorting" mechanism to ensure that the data is correctly structured. 1.3.3 Message format The actual appearance of the message bears no relation to the appearance of the current paper document. As there are unlimited permutations for assembling the BoQ data it has not been possible, nor desirable to make the appearance similar. The CONEST appearance is similar to the results of the data analysis exercise. Namely that there are 4 blocks or groupings of data, each of which can appear many times and that all of the mechanisms for linking and relating the components together are data elements within these blocks. The task of interpreting the indexing rules and subsequently assembling the data in the message will fall to local software. This approach has several advantages over the existing rigidity of the paper document. It is clear to the message design team that BoQ documentation exchanged using EDI will deliver a variety of new opportunities to its users. This last principle offers the solution to the volume problem too. One message has a definitive number of occurrences for each block of data. If for a "large" project this number is exceeded then multiple versions of the same message are built. It also enables a BoQ to be exchanged in subdivisions if so desired. 2.
