FAQ
Questions Contingency Budget Calculator owners ask.
- 01
How does the contingency calculation change over time?
The required reserve decreases as the project progresses. The calculate_contingency_amounts capability uses higher percentages for the design phase and lower percentages for the construction phase to reflect reduced uncertainty.
- 02
What types of risks are covered?
The engine calculates reserves for three specific categories: design risk (errors/omissions), site risk (environmental/logistical), and market risk (economic/supply chain).
- 03
Can I see the total impact on my budget?
Yes, by using the analyze_budget_impact capability, you can see both the total contingency amount required and the new projected total project budget.
