Cost Plan

When to use it:
Cost Plan 1:
This is the first formal cost plan following the Order of Cost Estimate.  It coincides with the completion of the Concept design.  This is the point where the scope of works is now defined and key criteria specified but no detailed design has yet commenced.
Cost Plan 2:
This is the second formal cost plan which coincides with the completion of Design Development.  Formal Cost Plan 2 is a progression of Formal Cost Plan 1.  It is developed through cost checking of the most significant cost elements as more detailed design information is made available from the design team.
Cost Plan 3:
The third formal Cost Plan is based on technical designs, specifications and detailed information for construction.  Formal Cost Plan 2 is a progression of formal Cost Plan 2.  It is developed through further and more detailed cost checking of the most significant cost elements as detailed design approvals are given on completion of the technical design.

Note: Your attention is specifically drawn to Clause 4.3 of our Terms of Sale.
