Abstract:Taking the high-formwork support project of a university gymnasium featuring an ultra-high height of 11.8 m and a large span of 30 m as a practical case, this paper analyzes two core disputes arising at the project settlement stage: the cost of foundation bedding for high-formwork support was not included in the tender documents, and the wall thickness of on-site steel pipes failed to meet standards, resulting in a 40% excess consumption of support frame materials compared with the tender quantity. It sorts out pricing divergences among three parties including the developer, contractor and auditor, and clarifies the liability scope of incremental costs. Finally, based on contracts, bill quantity specifications and construction quality liability judgment, a consensus between the owner and contractor is reached on the audit of measure fees for high-formwork support. Combined with the Work Plan for Construction Cost Reform and the new national standard for quantity calculation, this study puts forward optimized disposal schemes such as separate pricing for high-risk high-formwork support in tendering, addition of provisional estimates, formulation of risk-sharing clauses, and multi-path combined settlement pricing. The research results can fill the industry gap caused by inadequate quota adaptability for high-formwork support of ultra-high and super-heavy beam-slab structures, and provide practical references and standardized solutions for settling measure fee disputes and controlling bidding costs of similar large-scale high-risk construction projects.
