FAQ

How should a construction budget be split?

Broadly civil ~45%, MEP ~22%, equipment ~18%, with the rest across preliminaries, consultancy and contingency.

Why hold a contingency?

To absorb scope changes, escalation and unforeseen site conditions without derailing the project.

Is equipment always 18%?

No — for hospitals and labs equipment can be 30%+; adjust the split to your project.
