Cost Planning:
..is the technique by which the budget is allocated to the various
elements of an intended building project to provide the design team with a
balanced cost framework within which to produce a successful design.
Cost Management :
..is the total process which ensures that the contract sum is within the
client s approved budget or cost limit. It is the process of helping the
design team design to a cost rather than the quantity surveyor costing a
design.

Objectives
To ensure that the client obtains an economical and efficient project in accordance
with the agreed brief and budget
To ensure that all requirements arising from the clients brief to the design team are
included in the cost planning process

Design Stages
The RIBA Plan of Work refers to the main stages through which a project design
typically passes: (also refer to NRM1 Published by RICS)

a) the client
e.g. location of the site, the brief etc
b) the design team (all disciplines)
e.g. schedule of areas, drawings, specs. The level of information provided by
the design team would vary at each stage. More details will become available as
design progresses
