(Required outside engineering or consultants */ not applicable) "The approximate cost quoted represents a realistic budgetary number. Although it is possible that the actual project budget may produce a significantly different number than the budgetary number, past performance has traditionally shown little variation between numbers (between proposed initial assessment and final working budget) pending customer choices, hidden engineering discoveries, unusual government requirements, or fees. In the event of such variation, significant savings are often experienced through value engineering. IBC pricing includes contingency allocation to prevent or diminish anticipated government intervention, or owner forced changes."
