Quantity surveyors and estimators

Developers and project managers

Itemised cost assumptions

Clear exclusions and allowances

Scenario and contingency planning

A better basis for quotations and approvals

Define building type, area, levels, finish standard, site access, services and external works.

Prepare a BOQ or structured estimate instead of relying only on a single rate per square foot.

Record material, labour, transport, equipment, overhead, tax and contingency assumptions with dates and sources.

Compare quotations, track committed cost and revise the forecast as design and procurement decisions change.

Is a per-square-foot rate enough for budgeting?

It can be an early planning reference, but a detailed project requires itemised scope, quantities, assumptions and exclusions.

How often should a cost plan be updated?

Update it when design, quantities, supplier offers, programme or project conditions materially change.
