The cost for General Conditions and General Requirements is vital to the overall cost of the Construction Project. General Conditions offer the bigger picture and a general concept of how the client expects the project to be run and General Requirements is the detailed version of the Client’s expectations and requirements regarding the project. General Conditions is that Contract Document’s portion in which the relationships, rights, and responsibilities of both the parties are clearly stated and specified. For a said project, the administrative program’s specific protocols are defined by the General Requirements.
General Requirements’ costs are not just limited to one phase or stage of construction but spread over the whole project and are often referred to as the project’s overhead. A Construction Estimate must include these overhead costs.
