1. Practise without a permit from the Board Best Practice Corner LESSONS LEARNED 3. Good Practice • A Registered QS practice was found practising without a permit from the Board and receiving fees for the services rendered during the period when his registration expired or when he was suspended. • To verify whether the QS is practicing without a permit request from one of his clients, documents such as interim valuations or variation orders or statement of final accounts, which bear the signature of the QS. The date of the letter of appointment or memorandum of agreement signed between the QS practice and the Client will confirm whether they were appointed during the period of their suspension. • Lesson learned: keep tab of your expiry date of registration with the Board or if you have been suspended for some reason, make sure the suspension period has passed before you accept a new job. 2. Complaints must be supported by proper documents • Complaints against a Registered QS must be supported by proper documents or else they will not be considered valid. The respondent or the person being subjected to the complaint must also gather proper and relevant documents to rebut or refute the allegation . (i) Preliminaries section to be itemized • Good practice by QS is reflected by the degree of details of documents prepared. There was a case of a mega project where the QS did not itemize the Preliminaries works but allowed the tenderers to insert a percentage of the costs of works for the Preliminaries. (ii) Final Accounts to be based on As-Built Drawings • Very often as-built drawings are not available when we start the preparation of the final accounts. Do we just use the construction drawings and hopefully nobody object? • This is not professional and should be avoided • If accounts have to be prepared by a certain deadline and you only have an up-to-date set of construction drawings, which you can confidently use as a basis, then you may proceed. However, do insert a clause qualifying yourself for using those drawings in lieu of the pending as-built drawings. • If the parties involved are willing to wait for the as-built drawings, then you should defer the closure of the accounts. This should be our preference so that there will not be any disputes on the final accounts. Prepared by: Dato’ Sr Nik Farid Kamil.   ANNOUNCEMENT Book : Joint Ventures in Construction Author : Dr Khairuddin Abdul Rashid, George Ofori and Stephen Ogunlana Publisher : Thomas Telford Ltd ISBN No. : 9780727736512 Synopsis: Contractual relationships in international joint venture projects can be affected by different cultural foundations, language barriers, political sensitivities, and the uncertainties and risks involved throughout the life of a construction project.
