SCUP Survey Results Key Issues/Concerns n Lack of reliable data n Lack of standardized formats for budget estimates n Confusion regarding description, identification and calculation of hard and soft costs n Lack of understanding as to how to effectively monitor and control budgets
Benefits of Cost Planning ngreater satisfaction with end results nbetter value for money nimproved building quality and performance nbudget and value accountability nimproved relationships between all project participants ndesign problems identified and solved earlier nearly identification of high-cost elements
Factors in Successful Cost Planning nconfirm that all project team members are speaking, and understand, a common language nmanage expectations. Acknowledge change is inevitable and establish contingencies and escalation in cost planning
Factors in Successful Cost Planning nestablish and document a solid base of prioritized needs nstudy as many feasible site and building alternatives as possible nestablish well defined, manageable project schedules ninsure the budget has the confidence and acceptance of all project team members
The Tower of Babble Reaching common ground for communicating cost data nconfirm that all project team members are speaking, and understand, a common language nfailure in cost management is often a failure in communication rather than a failure in application

Types and Levels of Estimates norder of Magnitude ( Ballpark ) Estimates ncost Plan Estimates npreliminary Estimates ninterim Detailed Estimates nfinal Detailed Estimates
Types and Levels of Estimates norder of Magnitude ( Ballpark ) Estimates Based on Planning/Programming criteria. Measurement of occupancy content or gross floor areas. Priced with unit or square foot costs based on historical data Expected level of accuracy in a range of ± 20-25%
Types and Levels of Estimates ncost Plan Estimates Based on Planning/Programming criteria. Measurement of shell/functional areas or the development of cost models. Priced with unit or square foot costs, based on historical data, in Elemental format Expected level of accuracy in a range of ± 15-20%
Sources for cost data n Cost information from within the institution n Costs from similar institutions n Independent cost information services n Price books and manuals n Newsletters and magazines n Published indices n Consultants, Contractors, Suppliers / Manufacturers

Predesign: Charting the Course nstudy as many feasible site and building alternatives as possible nestablish well defined, manageable project schedules nestablish and document a solid base of prioritized needs ninsure the budget has the confidence and acceptance of all project team members
Predesign: Charting the Course ntoo high a budget will kill a project now - too low a budget will kill it later
Predesign: Charting the Course npredesign process and product noperational planning in Predesign narchitectural/engineering Program nplanning alternatives - Predesign or Design? nrisk factors: Schedule and timing, planning without design, market factors
Predesign process and product n Predesign is highly focused project planning intended to improve the outcome of design and construction n Predesign follows strategic and operational planning by users and precedes design n The result of predesign is a Program that also may include conceptual planning alternatives n Predesign can typically be accomplished for 0.5% or less of the design and construction cost
Predesign process and product
A/E Program nproblem seeking, not problem solving nan organized process identifying prioritized space and quality needs ndifferent levels of detail depending on how the information is to be used nthe foundation upon which concepts and analysis are based
A/E Program Steps in systematic facilities programming n Orientation n Initial Data Collection and Analysis n Space Standards n Building Design Criteria n Preliminary Evaluation/Reconciliation n Adjacency Requirements n Final Summaries and Documentation

Cost Management Cycle Planning & Preliminary Budgeting Post Construction Pre-Design & Programming Design & Construction
Design & Construction: Staying the Course nestablish clear responsibilities among the owner, users and designers and require that adherence to program and budget be a team effort nuse quality control of contract documents and management of change during construction
Design & Construction: Staying the Course n Design within program boundaries n Cost control procedures and decisions n Interim detailed estimates n Cost checking and feedback - value management n Quality control procedures n Design schedule impact on cost management n Construction delivery methods n Construction economics n Cost Management during Construction
