ELV Estimation & Costing for High-Rise Building Projects – Professional Certification
In every modern high-rise building, Extra Low Voltage (ELV) systems play a vital role in ensuring safety, communication, and intelligent control. These systems—ranging from fire alarms and CCTV networks to access control, BMS, and structured cabling—form the invisible backbone of any advanced structure. However, when it comes to project execution, one of the most crucial yet complex aspects is accurate estimation and costing of these ELV systems.
This professional certification program, “ELV Estimation & Costing for High-Rise Building Projects”, is designed to bridge the gap between engineering design and financial execution. It equips MEP engineers, quantity surveyors, and project estimators with the practical knowledge to estimate quantities, analyze rates, prepare BOQs, and manage budgets effectively for high-rise projects.
The course aims to enable professionals to:
Prepare accurate Bills of Quantities (BOQs) for all ELV systems.
Carry out rate analysis, cost estimation, and budgeting for multi-storey towers.
Understand system standards, interface coordination, and integration with MEP works.
Maintain cost control, forecasting, and reporting from tender to execution stages.
Achieve value optimization while ensuring compliance with technical specifications.
By the end of this course, learners will gain the expertise to handle ELV costing with the same precision as electrical and mechanical systems, improving both project efficiency and profitability.
The course begins with an understanding of what ELV systems are and how they integrate with other building services.
Participants learn the classification of ELV systems—communication, safety, and control—along with the network architecture used in tall structures.
The module also introduces national and international standards such as NBC, IS, SEC, DEWA, and IEC, explaining how they govern ELV installation practices. Learners understand the role of tender documents and the process of extracting BOQ items, which forms the base of all future cost planning.
This module focuses on the Fire Alarm System, one of the most critical ELV components in any building.
Participants learn to take off quantities for devices such as detectors, MCPs, and control panels. The process includes cable length estimation, zoning, and typical layout planning for towers.
Rate analysis covers material cost (devices, wiring, panels) and labour cost for installation, testing, and commissioning. The module also demonstrates how to create BOQ summary sheets level-wise and integrate them with the overall project MEP budget.
The CCTV system is vital for building security. This module covers camera quantity estimation (IP, dome, PTZ), cabling route assessment, and cost calculation for accessories such as junction boxes and network racks.
Students learn to build a material rate database and calculate total system cost, including mounting, commissioning, and power supply. Finally, they prepare CCTV BOQ and cost summary sheets, linking them to the building’s overall security budget.
Modern high-rise buildings use advanced Access Control and Public Address (PA) systems for safety and management.
This module covers estimation for door readers, locks, controllers, and amplifiers, followed by detailed cable routing and cost calculation.
The final sub-module teaches participants to consolidate the costs into a combined BOQ and budget sheet, covering equipment distribution and cost segregation between materials and labour for better clarity and reporting.
Structured cabling forms the digital nervous system of a building. Learners are taught to estimate the number of data outlets, patch panels, racks, and backbone cabling across multiple floors.
Cost estimation includes cables, connectors, patch cords, and the cost of installation, testing, and labeling.
Participants also prepare data cabling BOQs, integrate them into the project’s ELV budget, and analyze cost per floor or tower for structured clarity.
The Building Management System integrates HVAC, lighting, and fire systems into one intelligent control network. This module focuses on identifying controllers, sensors, actuators, and software nodes, and understanding their relationship with building zones.
Students perform quantity estimation, assess control point costs, and include software and licensing costs. The module ends with a BMS BOQ preparation and cost consolidation method that merges various subsystems into one comprehensive ELV cost summary.
This is the heart of the costing process. Participants learn the structure of material, labour, and overhead costs, distinguishing between direct and indirect expenses.
Detailed rate analysis is carried out for major ELV items like cabling, devices, and panels, including allowance for testing, labeling, and documentation.
Students also compare vendor quotations and market rates, learning how to benchmark and select the most cost-effective options without compromising quality.
Accurate budgeting is essential for financial control in large projects.
In this module, students learn to develop budget sheets organized by system and floor, with material and labour segregation.
They are guided on tracking costs during execution, evaluating change orders, and maintaining cost vs. progress reports.
The module also explains cash flow forecasting, linking ELV procurement schedules with financial planning for efficient fund utilization.
Here, learners master the process of merging all ELV BOQs—Fire Alarm, CCTV, Access Control, BMS, and Data Cabling—into one Master Cost Sheet.
They learn how to handle cross-system costs, create management reports, and prepare dashboards for clients.
The final sub-module teaches Value Engineering—identifying cost-saving opportunities, optimizing material choices, and performing lifecycle cost analysis to improve long-term project performance.
This capstone module applies everything learned in real-world scenarios.
Two detailed case studies—one commercial high-rise and one residential tower—are analyzed step-by-step from drawings to final BOQ.
Participants learn to deal with real challenges such as varying floor layouts, change orders, and coordination issues.
The final project requires preparing a complete ELV Master BOQ and Budget Sheet, reviewed for accuracy, completeness, and optimization. Successful participants receive professional certification upon completion.
Upon completion, learners will be able to:
Prepare precise BOQs and rate sheets for all major ELV systems.
Conduct system-wise and integrated cost estimation for high-rise projects.
Build comprehensive budget sheets with proper material and labour segregation.
Analyze, control, and forecast project costs throughout execution.
Communicate effectively with clients and consultants through professional reports.
