FAQs
Is the Tender Price the Final Cost ?
Not Always!
The Tender Price only reflects the following issues:
- The quality and completeness of the Tender Documentation
- The duration allowed for tendering
- The time to deliver the project
- Latent Conditions
- Planning Approvals
- Extension of Time events
- Ground Conditions
- Contract Conditions
- and many more
How much should I allow for Variations?
It depends on the above issues being closed out prior to tendering.
As all construction is bespoke, a experienced Cost Planner can analyse the project risks and suggest an appropriate budget be allowed to cover the real cost.
