Any owner, designer, builder who is not observing this fact has limited cost visibility and is likely to be “off” by 30%-40% or more. Most federal government agencies incorrectly cost estimate, including the GSA, as they don’t understand this basic fact and do not have robust, organization-wide cost estimating practices.
