Design to Budget Clause Samples

The "Design to Budget" clause requires that the design of a project be developed and maintained within a specified budget limit. In practice, this means the design team must make material, system, and scope decisions that do not exceed the financial constraints set by the client or project owner. For example, if the budget is capped at a certain amount, the architect must select finishes and structural systems that fit within that cost. This clause ensures that the project remains financially viable and prevents cost overruns by aligning design choices with the available budget from the outset.

Design to Budget. I-4.a. To the extent the Services provided by the Design Professional will result in the construction of a Project (in whole or in part), the Design Professional shall perform the Services required under this Agreement so as to permit the award of a contract for construction of a Project, or portion(s) of the Projects defined by the Airport Authority, at an amount and all-inclusive total construction cost to the Airport Authority that does not exceed the Estimated Construction Cost established for each Project or the Projects. When probable construction cost reports or bids/proposals for the construction contract(s) are received for a Project that exceed the Estimated Construction Cost, the Design Professional shall perform any and all redesign or modifications and other Services necessary to permit award of a construction contract for an amount and all-inclusive total construction costs that does not exceed the Estimated Construction Cost. The Design Professional’s redesign, modifications and other Services shall be performed at no increase in the Compensation set forth in the AFS(s) and without any payment of any amount or type from the Airport Authority as it is specifically agreed the Design Professional shall bear any and all expenses, costs and liabilities required to redesign and modify the Project(s). If the Airport Authority determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that unfavorable probable construction cost reports or bids/proposals are the result of conditions beyond the Design Professional’s reasonable control, those factors will be taken into consideration in determining whether the Design Professional may be entitled to any additional Compensation for Services required for a Project or Projects. However, under no circumstances shall there be any increase in any Compensation authorized by this Agreement except by an Amendment duly executed by an authorized representative of the Airport Authority in accordance with applicable law and as provided in paragraph I.3.o. I-4.b. The Design Professional shall immediately advise the Airport Authority if it finds that the Project or Projects being designed will exceed or are likely to exceed the Estimated Construction Cost, and if the Design Professional is unable to design a usable project within these limitations. Upon receipt of such information, the Airport Authority will review the Design Professional’s revised estimate of construction cost. The Airport Authority may, if it determines that t...

Design to Budget. A. The Design Builder shall be responsible for establishing and updating the Project Construction Cost estimate monthly throughout development of the Construction Documents. Many of these estimates may be on specific Design to Budget allocations to ensure that the design is developing and maintaining expected quality standards. B. The initial Design to Budget cost component will be consistent with the HAS WBS and to a level of detail so a scope to budget analysis can be performed. Each WBS will be broken down as defined in the CSI MasterFormat. C. During the design process, the DB shall conduct constructability reviews and provide input and suggestions for design optimization to align the design with the Agreed cost of the Work. The DB will perform more detailed analysis of selected items to include alternative methods, systems, materials, equipment, or designs feasible to complete the construction at the lowest reasonable cost while achieving HAS’s Project objectives. D. During the performance of the final design, any change to the Probable Cost of the Work due to changes or proposed changes in the Design shall be immediately forwarded in a letter to the OMT. The DB shall not proceed with those affected elements of final Design or Construction if the Probable Cost of the Work exceeds the Contract Price. E. The DB will evaluate opportunities and make recommendations to improve maintainability and sustainability and reduce lifecycle costs and energy use.

Upon receipt of such information, the Airport Authority will review the Construction Professional’s revised estimate of construction cost. The Airport Authority may, if it determines that the established Estimated Construction Cost set forth is so low that award of a construction contract not in excess of such estimate is improbable, authorize a change in scope or materials as required to reduce the estimated cost for construction to an amount within the established Estimated Construction Cost, or the Airport Authority may determine to exceed the established Estimated Construction Cost. The Construction Professional shall proceed following the written direction of the Airport Authority.
