Standard Practice for Measuring Cost Risk of Buildings and Building Systems and Other Constructed Projects

Importancia y uso:

5.1 Measuring cost risk enables owners of buildings and other constructed projects, architects, engineers, and contractors to measure and evaluate the cost risk exposures of their construction projects.3 Specifically, cost risk analysis (CRA) helps answer the following questions:

5.1.1 What are the probabilities for the construction contract to be bid above or below the estimated value?

5.1.2 How low or high can the total project cost be?

5.1.3 What is the appropriate amount of contingency to use?

5.1.4 What cost elements have the greatest impact on the project’s cost risk exposure?

5.2 CRA can be applied to a project's contract cost, construction cost (contract cost plus construction change orders), and project cost (construction cost plus owner's cost), depending on the users’ perspectives and needs. This practice shall refer to these different terms generally as “project cost.”
