Preliminaries and General
P & G’s are defined as those expenses which are incurred before
work in producing the project deliverable commences, together
with those costs that are non-specific to a particular Bill or
Activity list item. P&G cost therefore represents those costs
which cannot be reasonably allocated to any specific identified
activity on a project. In this regard the international Webster
comprehensive dictionary defines the word preliminary as
“antecedent or introductory to the main business” and defines
the word general as “pertaining to including or affecting all of
the whole; not local or particular”. The term originates from
civil engineering industry where those costs which are not
attributable to a specific bill of quantity item rate or cost were
collected under the heading “P & G expenses.”
