The WAO leads to many an argument. Thankfully in ECC4 it will be no more. Coming back to ECC3.
The opening statement to the SCC states "...An amount is included in only one cost component and only if it is incurred to Provide the Works"
This means that depending on the item it could be included in the SCC in more than one way - but only once.
1. Security fencing - SCC cost component 2 Equipment
2. Cess Pit emptying - a service under sanitation SCC44(d)
3. Surveying and setting out - SCC44(h) - a company providing a service? or a Subcontractor clause 17 "..provide a service necessary of the the works" or if your own people then People 1 plus Equipment 2 or 44(h)
4. Cleaners - again probably a service under SCC44or if your own directly employed people People 1
It really does all depend on how you wish to recover the costs. In Managing Reality Book 4 - their is a comparison between a traditional prelim build up for a contract and ECC - this provides food for thought
