Accessing of these guides
This publication is received by the National Department of Health (NDoH), IUSS Steering Committee
Chairman, Dr Massoud Shaker and Acting Cluster Manager: Health Facilities and Infrastructure
Management, Mr Ndinannyi Mphaphuli. Feedback is welcome.
The CSIR and the NDoH retain the moral rights conferred upon them as author by section 20(1) of the
Copyright Act, No. 98 of 1978, as amended. Use of text, figures or illustrations from this report in any future
documentation, media reports, publications, competition entries and advertising or marketing material is
solely at the discretion of the Health Infrastructure Norms Advisory Committee and should clearly
reference the source. This publication may not be altered without the express permission of the Health
Infrastructure Norms Advisory Committee. This document (or its updates) is available freely at
www.iussonline.co.za or the forthcoming Department webportal.
Application and development process
These IUSS voluntary standard/ guidance documents have been prepared as national Guidelines, Norms
and Standards by the National Department of Health for the benefit of all South Africans. They are for use
by those involved in the procurement, design, management and commissioning of public healthcare
infrastructure. It may also be useful information and reference to private sector healthcare providers.
Use of the guidance in this documentation does not dissolve professional responsibilities of the
implementing parties, and it remains incumbent on the relevant authorities and professionals to ensure
that these are applied with due diligence, and where appropriate, deviations processes are exercised.
The development process adopted by the IUSS team was to consolidate information from a range of sources
including local and international literature, expert opinion, practice and expert group workshop/s into a
first level discussion status document. This was then released for public comment through the project
website, as well as national and provincial channels. Feedback and further development was consolidated
into a second level development status document which again was released for comment and rigorous
technical review. Further feedback was incorporated into proposal status documents and formally
submitted to the National Department of Health. Once signed off, the documents have been gazetted, at
which stage documents reach approved status.
At all development stages documents may go through various drafts and will be assigned a version number
and date. The National Department of Health will establish a Health Infrastructure Norms Advisory
Committee, which will be responsible for the periodic review and formal update of documents and tools.
Documents and tools should therefore always be retrieved from the website repository
www.iussonline.co.za or Department webportal (forthcoming) to ensure that the latest version is being
used.
The guidelines are for public reference information and for application by Provincial Departments of Health
in the planning and implementation of public sector health facilities. The approved guidelines will be
applicable to the planning, design and implementation of all new public-sector building projects (including
additions and alterations to existing facilities). Any deviations from the voluntary standards are to be
motivated during the Infrastructure Delivery Management Systems (IDMS) gateway approval process. The
guidelines should not be seen as necessitating the alteration and upgrading of any existing
healthcare facilities.

OVERVIEW
The National Department of Health (NDoH) is developing norms and standards for health facilities (to
replace the old SAHNORMS), which include area and cost modelling. In order to inform and update the
new norms on a continuous basis, test conformance to the spatial norms and estimate cost, architects
and quantity surveyors are required to measure all health buildings according to the methodology set
out below. This will facilitate the rapid analysis and comparison of projects to the new norms and
standards.
The architect will identify/classify the departments and functional spaces of the health facility on
specially marked-up plans according to a methodology approved by the NDoH and will delineate the
boundaries of these areas in accordance with the architectural specific instructions described below.
The architect will measure the areas of departments and functional spaces in categories and the total
of these should correspond to the ‘construction area’ as measured by the quantity surveyor per
department/functional unit. Both the architect and the quantity surveyor shall measure in accordance
with the method recommended by the South African Property Owners Association (SAPOA, 2005)
entitled Method for measuring floor areas in buildings, 1st edition (effective from 1 August 2005), which
states:
“Construction area is the entire covered built area; this is the sum of areas measured at each
floor level over any external walls to the external finished surface. Only the lowest levels of
atria are to be included and all openings on other levels to form atria are to be excluded.”
The architect will be required to indicate the space description, net area in square metres (m²),
department code, location code and functional space classification code of every room or space in the
facility on a specially marked-up set of plans. This includes work space, work space support and
core spaces. In addition, structure must also be measured. The sum of these four components will be
the ‘construction area’ as mentioned above.
Structure is measured and classified with the specific department that it belongs to and not
separately as a total for the whole facility. Over and above this, a special interface file in commadelimited format (flat file) must be prepared to facilitate the exchange to other systems such as quantity
surveyor software, the NDoH’s Facility Assembly Schedule Toolkit (FAST) briefing software and
spreadsheets.
On the basis of this, the quantity surveyor will be required to indicate the cost per area for each
department/functional unit and the cost per building element, depending on the stage of the project:
•
•
•
•
•
Concept and detail design stage: Elemental estimate per department
Tender documentation stage: Quantity surveyor-priced bills of quantities (BoQs) analysed
to facilitate comparison to previous elemental estimates per department
Contract signature: Analysis of priced BoQs into departments and building elements for
maintenance purposes as described below
Construction stage: Monthly project cost revised estimates per department – it is not a
requirement to analyse these into building elements on a monthly basis
Final account stage and close-out report: Variation orders must be allocated to elements
per department; the final account must be analysed in order to facilitate comparison with
elemental estimates and to provide cost per building elements for maintenance purposes
(It is important that the area used by the quantity surveyor to calculate the cost per area corresponds
to the areas indicated by the architect.)

All of the above requirements can be automated and should attract no or minimal additional fees if the
instruction to measure in locations and to add sort keys is given prior to the measurement, at the time
of appointment.
Additional fees, if the above requirements were not part of the original agreement between the
employer and consultant, should be motivated in writing and supported by the implementing agent,
the provincial human resources practices (HRP) manager and submitted for approval by the hospital
revitalisation grant manager at the NDoH.
The requirement to measure in locations and according to building elements on all projects was made
mandatory on 17 February 2014 with the publication of Government Gazette No. 37348. This applies to
all building projects documented for tender purposes from the date of publication.
In addition, the Government Gazette instructs health infrastructure norms and standards to be applied
in the planning, design and implementation of public sector health facilities. The list of Guidelines,
Norms and Standards (GNS) are provided in the following table.

PART A - MEASUREMENT OF ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS
1. Introduction
Part A describes the methods
that must be used by
architects to delineate
drawings for analysis with
regard to spatial and cost
norms. Part B describes the
methods to be used by
quantity surveyors.
The objective of this document is to communicate the approach and methods to
be used when measuring spaces on architectural plans of health buildings to
facilitate their scientific spatial usage analysis. The purpose of this is, inter alia, to
quantify existing space usage in a range of health buildings as an input in the
establishment of a new planning norm to replace the outdated South African
Hospital Norms (SAHNORMS, 1986).
This section deals with the measurement of space in all types of health facilities.
The method must be flexible to support different uses and analyses. From a
health facility point of view, the high-level categories of patient care services,
clinical support services and hospital support services are recognised.
At detailed level in the method described below, all spaces in a health facility
belong to one of four main functional space categories, i.e. work space, work
space support, core and structure. Furthermore, these categories are grouped
into different departments. The method is used to measure the net area in m² of all spaces in the
facility. The sum of the net areas of work space, work space support, core and structure will amount to
the gross building area or construction area as defined by the South African Property Owners
Association (SAPOA). This is based on the analytical space planning and management toolkit,
ESPACE™, which was developed by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). This
toolkit was developed for the establishment of the Department of Public Works’ Space planning norms
and standards for office accommodation used by organs of state (Republic of South Africa. 2005).

The NDoH recognises the following types of health facilities :
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Clinic
Community health centre
District hospital (Level 1)
Outreach mobile hospital
Regional hospital (Level 2)
Special maternity hospital
Special psychiatric hospital
Tertiary hospital (T1) developing
Tertiary hospital (T2) fully developed
Tertiary hospital (T3) national referral hospital
Tertiary hospital (T4) central referral hospital
It is clear from this list that there is a diverse range of types of health facilities, ranging from quite
simple to highly complex. Each of these facilities needs to be analysed at various levels of detail for
specific purposes. This requires a flexible and generic analysis approach and system.
To successfully implement the abovementioned analytical requirements, three main actions are
required that translate into the following distinct software components:
1 These categories have been implanted in the NDoH briefing support software, FAST, to support different derived areas for different
types of health facilities.

A graphical spatial analysis system supported by detailed spatial (space or room typology),
architectural configuration (department or unit) and occupational (people) classification
systems. Microsoft Visio 2002 was originally used, but any computer-aided design (CAD)
system that is able to measure areas accurately and handle additional non-graphic
alphanumeric attributes can be used. Lately, an increasing number of architects are using
CodeBook in conjunction with AutoCAD, MicroGDS or even Revit. This is a very good method
because all the essential information required for the analysis can be directly extracted from
CodeBook in spreadsheet or flat file format.
An alphanumeric relational database (Microsoft Access).
Parametric programming language to analyse a diverse range of space trends, to configure norms
and to test conformance against the norms (custom CSIR-developed interpreter ESPACE™ used in
the NDoH FAST software).
2. Area definitions
To classify all measured spaces, two classification systems have been created. The first one is a
functional space classification (See Annexure 2 – IUSS functional space classification for detail). This
classification fundamentally consists of four main categories: work space, work space support, core
and structure.
Work space contains the space type groups directly related to health functions, such as patient rooms,
high-care units, the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), incubators, isolation rooms, consulting rooms,
counselling rooms, examination rooms, assessment rooms, treatment rooms, procedure rooms,
rehabilitation rooms, radiology units, theatres, the Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD), as well
as the nuclear medicine and oncology units. When measuring and analysing plans, these spaces must
always be coloured in a transparent red (pink). (See Figure 1.)
Work space support contains the space type groups that support the functions of work space. These
groups include the nurses’ station, reception/control room, office, training/meeting venues, ablution
facilities, control rooms, storage rooms, change rooms, clean utility rooms, clean rooms, amenities
rooms, cleaners’ rooms, dirty rooms, the mortuary, the information technology unit, as well as the
pharmacy, kitchen, laboratory, laundry, central stores, workshops and parking area. When measuring
and analysing plans, these spaces must always be coloured in a transparent blue. (See Figure 1.)
Core contains space type groups such as circulation, technical support, facilities management, void
area and waste management. When measuring and analysing the plans, these spaces must always be
coloured in a transparent yellow. (See Figure 1.)
The structure contains all space type groups related to the structure that remains after work space,
work space support and core have been measured. It contains only two groups, i.e. walls and
columns. When measuring and analysing plans, these spaces must always be coloured in a light
transparent grey. See Figure 1 where the grey marked-up structure is indicated with a short arrow.
Net square meter (NSM): In all cases, the NSM of all spaces must be measured. This is measured as
2
the clean space within the walls of a room, or the usable floor area assigned to a particular clearly
distinguishable function in an open area such as cubicles, staff work areas or work stations. This space
includes the floor area needed for casework, furniture, fixtures and door swings, but never includes
wall thicknesses. It is measured from the inside face of all walls and enclosing elements. It excludes
structural elements such as columns and column enclosures that may protrude into a room.
This is not the same as the SAPOA definition, because areas are never measured to the centre of partitions that separate the room
from other adjoining usable areas or to the glass line as defined in the SAPOA method.

INFRASTRUCTURE UNIT SUPPORT SYSTEMS (IUSS) PROJECT
Health Facility Guides: 9 September 2014

Surveyors and Architects [PROPOSAL V.3]

NSM in open areas is measured as mentioned above whenever possible (see Figure 1). The NSM of
nurses’ stations, staff work areas, work alcoves and equipment alcoves open to corridor(s) is recorded
to the corridor face of millwork, face of adjoining corridor walls or edge of required means of egress or
exit corridors (see Figure 1). The NSM of treatment and patient care areas open to the corridor is
calculated to the cubicle curtain enclosure when evident on the plans.
Departmental gross square meter (DGSM): This is calculated as the total net of all spaces and the
structural area of the structure within a departmental area. For structure that is shared between
departments, the centre line of interior walls separating spaces in one department from those in
another is used. Departmental gross area is therefore calculated to include interior walls and internal
departmental circulation areas, as well as all spaces included within the department. Interior
structural and system elements, such as columns, brace frames, thickened walls and localised
plumbing chases, are also calculated as part of the departmental gross area, as these elements would
not always be set, sized, distinguished or measurable during the initial planning of the department.
(See Figure 1).
Common exceptions in calculating DGSM: Certain elements are excluded from the calculation of
departmental net or gross areas. Corridors used primarily as interdepartmental circulation (primary
circulation) that pass between or even along the edge of a department are not included within the
department area. A special IUSS department code ‘GA’, which specifically contains primary circulation,
is used for this purpose. The corridors in these situations are assumed to be part of the entire ‘building
net’ or ‘building gross’ area. Likewise, corridors running within a department providing access
primarily to individual spaces are assigned to that department as secondary space (functional space
classification ‘CAAG’).
An example of this would be a corridor that provides only access to multiple patient care or support
spaces in one department and does not provide access to similar spaces in another department. This
would be classified as secondary circulation. The plan below (Figure 1) indicates an example of this
condition.
It is the responsibility of the architect to ensure that the construction area calculated as illustrated in
Figure 1 aligns to the total construction area measured by the quantity surveyor. Any discrepancies
must be resolved before submission to the Department of Health.
3. Graphic delineation on plan of all spaces
Every space in the health facility must be analysed on the plan and clearly delineated by using the
colours mentioned above. In addition, five essential attributes must be written in clearly readable text
in the centre of the space, or in the case of small spaces, right next to the space. If the text overlaps, if it
cannot fit into a small space, or if it clashes with the text of adjoining spaces, it should be moved away
and connected to the space with an arrow to avoid unreadable attributes. Over and above the readable
annotation, provision should also be made to export these attributes in a comma-delimited file
described in Annexure 1 (interfacing to other systems). Most modern CAD systems support the
attachment of graphic and non-attributes to graphic objects and command languages that facilitate
exporting into external output formats.
Each of these objects contains a number of attributes that are essential for the subsequent space usage
analysis. The most important of these attributes are the hierarchical locational information, functional
space type (typology) and architectural department (configuration). The location attribute is part of a
hierarchy that contains four parts or facets. Figure 1 contains an example of the typical attributes that
would be allocated to a portion of a health facility. The attributes written in each room are defined in
Table 1. Although only the room number is written in each room to save space, the draughtsman must

Surveyors and Architects [PROPOSAL V.3]
9
write the facility code, building code and floor code elsewhere on the drawing. In the data exchange
format described in Annexure 1, the location contains four ‘:’ (colon) delimited facets.
The first facet of the location hierarchy contains the unique facility number. In this example, ‘F01’ was
used. The second facet is separated from the first with a ‘:’. The second facet contains the building
number ‘B01’. This would normally be ‘B01’, but a particular health facility might contain more than
one building.
In that case, ‘B01, B02, … Bnn’ should be used, depending on the particular case. The third facet
contains the floor number ‘F01’. It is very important to distinguish between different floors for
planning and analysis purposes. In this case, ‘F01’ has been used to indicate that the analysis is on the
first floor. The last facet indicates the room number. In this case, ‘R001’ has been used. It is important
to note that the number parts at facility, building, floor and room levels are ‘0’ padded to make
constant length codes of two or three characters. This greatly facilitates sorting, checking and post
processing of the alphanumeric location data because the locational codes will sort correctly in
ascending order due to the constant length zero padded room number. It is very important that each
room on each floor is numbered sequentially and in a unique way to identify each space correctly. On
each floor, the user should start with ‘R001’, because the combination of the rest of the location facets
would make it unique within the building and facility context. Areas such as primary circulation,
secondary circulation and structure should also be numbered because, from an analysis point of view,
they are also spaces.
FIGURE 1: ESSENTIAL ANNOTATION ON MEASURED DRAWING
If a user prefers to use a CAD system for the area analysis, exactly the same approach must be followed.
In the case of some CAD systems, such as MicroGDS, the user can use a graphical object name such as
‘F01:B01:F01:R001’. If this is not possible in some other CAD systems, this code should be treated as a

CAD graphical attribute or written as text on the drawing. However, it should still be possible to extract
the various structured attributes programmatically into a comma-delimited electronic exchange file.
The room or area that is analysed should be colour-filled, depending on the type of area.
On the CAD drawing, the user should write in text and have the following attributes available for
export to other systems (see Table 1).

Indicate the space use such as ‘6-bed unit excluding en suite bathroom’, the area in m² ‘60.096’ to three
decimals accuracy, department classification ‘BAD’ (see Annexure 3), room code ‘R001’ as part of the
complete concatenated location code ‘F01:B01:F01:R001’ and finally the functional room classification
‘AAAF’ (see Annexure 2). When the list of blocks are output for further analysis in FAST, a comma3
separated file (.csv file) that contains six or, in some cases , seven columns, should be generated in the
exact format as illustrated in Annexure 1. As already mentioned when large numbers of measurements
are undertaken, it would be far more efficient to automate the process fully.
If the five essential attributes do not fit into a small room, move them away and connect them to the
room with an arrow as illustrated in Figure 1.

Seven columns are used in the case where there are patients in a room such as a ward. In this case the classification M001 separated
with a forward slash ‘/’ followed by the number of beds is used.

PART B - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH: SUPPLEMENTARY
CONDITIONS TO THE APPOINTMENT OF QUANTITY
SURVEYORS
1. Measuring bills of quantities in locations with sort keys and
required outcomes
The project costing structure must be set up from the outset in a format that can, in addition to
procurement, also be utilised for cost estimating and maintenance analysis purposes. The
requirements apply equally to new work, alterations and additions, upgrading and rehabilitation. The
software used on the project must therefore have the ability to produce the following:
•
•
•
•
BoQs for procurement
Configuration in departments or locations with BoQ values
Project elemental cost estimate
Analysis of building elements for maintenance cycle costing
1.1. Configuration in departments or locations
The quantity surveyor shall get the configuration (departments or locations) framework from the
design consultant. A project location structure (according to the above framework) shall be set up and
all measurements shall be allocated to the appropriate locations.
1.2. Elemental estimate format
A layout conforming to the Guide to elemental cost estimating and analysis for building works 2013,
published by the Association of South African Quantity Surveyors (ASAQS) shall be set up and the
software shall have the ability to link the elemental cost estimate directly to BoQ items and provide
elemental values, subtotals and totals that will ultimately balance with the BoQ project value.
Care must be taken that composite item links do not distort the item value in the estimate module (e.g.
deductions for brickwork, etc. should not be included in the linked items for windows or doors, but
should rather be dealt with in measurement groups).
1.3. Analysis of building elements for maintenance cycle costing
A detailed list of elements and subdivisions is attached as Annexure 4 according to the Guide to
elemental cost estimating and analysis for building works 2013, which should be strictly followed except
for the contingencies.
A sort key analysis of BoQ items shall be set up according to the elemental detail. In cases where a
single BoQ item includes values for more than one element, the report generated by the software shall
be amended to reflect the actual values (e.g. one brick wall for both external and internal elements).
1.4. Computerised measurement systems
The quantity surveyor may use any software capable of producing the same outcomes. Comments in
this document on using specific software, methods, etc., refer to WinQS®
The quantity surveyor shall provide the client and departments of health with a back-up on CD of all
files related to the procurement and analysis documentation.

The term quantity surveyor refers to a quantity surveyor, but is inclusive of any other consultants who
may be appointed to produce the procurement documentation.
2. Bills of quantities production framework
2.1. Procurement strategy
•
•
•
Procurement strategy may vary between employers.
The BoQs form part of the procurement documentation package.
Make sure to get a comprehensive briefing from the employer regarding specific requirements
for the procurement package of documents.
2.2. Layout
•
•
•
Layout should generally conform to the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB)‘s
Standard for uniformity in construction procurement. Copies are available from the CIDB
website www.cidb.org.za.
Requirements may vary between employers, and employers will therefore usually issue a
standardised set of pro forma documentation.
Take care to obtain any specific requirements from the employer and to incorporate these into
the standard CIDB layout.
2.3. Form of agreement
The two forms of agreement predominantly in use are the following:
•
•
Joint Building Contracts Committee (JBCC) Principal Building Agreement
Engineering and Construction Contract (NEC3)
Make sure of the following:
•
•
•
The agreement package prescribed by the employer
The edition number and date of the principal and all ancillary documentation
The changes and additions to standard clauses that are dependent on the employer’s
preference or requirements
The ‘preliminaries’ trade depends on the conditions of contract and might incorporate employer
changes and additions. Requirements may vary between employers and employers will therefore
usually issue a standardised set of pro forma documentation. Take care to obtain any specific
requirements from the employer and incorporate these into the standard CIDB layout.
2.4. Bills of quantities
BoQs shall be compiled according to the principles laid down in the latest edition of Standard system
for measuring building work.
Model bills, published by the ASAQS, contains generic item descriptions and the correct item sequence.
These should be applied and followed closely, allowing only adaptation and addition of descriptions
required by the specific design and specification.
Model preambles for trades, published by the ASAQS, is referred to in the standardised documentation.
If a specific employer uses a different set of preambles or specifications, due care must be taken to
align item descriptions and/or specifications when compiling the BoQs. Supplementary preambles
must be used to suit the specific specifications or circumstances and conditions.

2.5. Note
The use of ‘trade names’ to describe items or establish specifications is prohibited by some employers.
Also refer to the CIDB document, Standardised construction procurement documents for engineering and
construction works (August 2006), paragraph 1(e) page 83, which states:
“…may not make reference to any particular trademark, name, patent, design, type, specific
origin or producer unless there is no other sufficiently precise or intelligible way of describing
the characteristics of the work, in which case such reference must be accompanied by the
word ‘equivalent’”.
In these cases, item descriptions or preambles should be sufficiently detailed and comprehensive to
establish a clear understanding of the specification.

ANNEXURE 1. INTERFACING TO OTHER SYSTEMS
To facilitate the evaluation of a proposed architectural design of a particular health facility, a special
comma-delimited exchange standard has been designed. One of the systems that use this exchange
standard is the IUSS Facility Assembly Schedule Toolkit (FAST). This toolkit is used to prepare and
check the accommodation schedule of new facilities, as well as additions and alterations to existing
facilities against a given set of target norms.
FAST uses a simple neutral exchange file format to import information from popular external CAD
systems, quantity surveyor software, CodeBook and spreadsheets. This annexure describes the
comma-delimited flat file structure that facilitates the importing process and must be generated by the
architects that design new health facilities. The exchange file can also be read by other software such
as Microsoft Excel, because it is in a comma-delimited format.
If your CAD system supports or has a command language available, it is suggested that you program it
to generate the structure discussed below, because this will save a lot of time and avoid potential
mistakes. The structure is simple, yet powerful and provides enough detail to evaluate the space
utilisation aspects of the design effectively.
Figure 2 illustrates the required structured fields to export information into FAST from CAD systems
such as AutoCAD, Revit and CADDIE. A record in this standard will contain either six or seven commadelimited fields, depending on the type of record. Table 2 illustrates what the comma-delimited file for
a small clinic looks like, which conforms to the structure illustrated in Figure 2.
FIGURE 2: THE FAST COMMA-DELIMITED INTERFACE STANDARD
Table 2 provides detail about the FAST comma-delimited exchange standard fields. Please note that the
fields are separated with a ‘,’ (comma) and if there is no person type field, the last field must end with
a ‘,’ (comma). The various parts of the hierarchical structure for the hierarchical location are
concatenated with the ‘:’ (colon).

Facility code
Building code
Floor code
Space code
Room typology code
Area in m²
Department code
Subdepartment code
Person type and number
Description
Short description of the particular room.
A facility code (not more than 12 characters). One facility can contain many
buildings, floors and spaces. The code must not be longer than 12
characters and should typically be an alphabetic character or characters
followed by one or more numeric characters such as ‘F01’, ‘F02’ to ‘F99’ If
the Project Management Information System (PMIS) is available, it could
be used.
A building code (exactly three characters). The building code is separated
from the facility code with a ‘:’ separator. This is the second level in the
facility hierarchy. A facility might contain one or many buildings. It must be
the ‘B’ alphabetic character followed by two left-padded numeric
characters. For example, ‘B01’, ‘B02’ to ‘B99’.
A floor code (exactly three characters). The floor code is separated from
the building code with a ‘:’ separator. This is the third level of the facility
hierarchy. One building can contain one or many floors in a high-rise health
facility. It must be the ‘F’ alphabetic character followed by two left-padded
numeric characters. For example, ‘F00’, ‘F01’ to ‘F99’ for above the ground
floors or ‘F-1’ to ‘F-9’ for basements.
A space code (exactly four characters). The space code is separated from
the floor code with a ‘:’ separator. It must be the ‘R’ alphabetic character
followed by three left-padded numeric characters. For example, ‘R001’,
‘R002’ to ‘R999’.
This code is selected from the IUSS functional space classification, e.g.
AAAD (Annexure 2). This code is normally no longer than five characters.
This is the net area in m² of the space. It should be to three-decimal
accuracy to ensure adequate cumulative accuracy.
The department code must be selected from the IUSS department
classification, e.g. BAD (Annexure 3).
The subdepartment code gives an indication of how contiguous the spaces
in a department are. If all the spaces that make up a department are
together, all the spaces would have a subdepartment code of ‘A’. However,
if the department is fragmented into three main groups of areas, then area
group 1 would be indicated with an ‘A’, area group 2 with a ‘B’ and area
group 3 with a ‘C’.
This field should only be used for clinical rooms that have patient beds
such as bed units. It should not be used for treatment and consulting
rooms that might also contain a patient bed. The code for a patient is
‘M001’. This is followed by the ‘/’ delimiter and the number of beds in a
bed unit, for example 4.

ANNEXURE 4. ANALYSIS OF BUILDING ELEMENTS FOR
MAINTENANCE LIFE CYCLE COSTING
Note:
The base date of cost should be clearly indicated, for example, the date of estimate or the
closing date of tender.
The cost should exclude preliminaries, value-added tax (VAT) and professional fees, as well as
escalation, but cost should include specific or pro rata contingencies. The contingencies
allowed should be disclosed per element so that it can be managed according to the risk and
consultants can be held responsible for their use of contingencies. This will enable comparison
to the norm. The contingencies should not be dealt with as a percentage of total construction
cost as indicated in the Guide to elemental cost estimating and analysis for building works 2013,
published by the ASAQS.
The following list of elements is an extract from the ASAQS guide. The different life cycle of
building components guides the subdivision into subelements. If an element is not required
for the project (e.g. a clinic will not have a lift installation), then the element should be
indicated as nil. Element numbers should not be altered. The extent and cost of each
subelement should be indicated.
Minor construction work (616) includes buildings such as gatehouses, transformer rooms,
pump houses, etc., where the analysis of elements will not be required. If the area of buildings
is substantial, such as a gateway clinic, ambulance station, etc., such buildings are to be
regarded as departments and functional units.
