5) Make broad design assumptions and provide cost estimates for alternative designs for standard projects.
Project Scope & Business Case Analysis

7) Identify opportunities, gaps, issues and recommend changes to enhance value and/or reduce cost in the proposals
8) Carry out benchmarking research
9) Identify wider implications of the project e.g. governance aspects, stakeholder management requirements, risks and externalities

- In-depth knowledge of construction cost estimation and management
- Understanding construction and maintenance cost norms and trends

The principal accountabilities of the DD/AD are as follows:
