Expected Cost Sample Clauses
The Expected Cost clause defines the anticipated financial outlay associated with a particular project, service, or transaction. It typically outlines how the expected cost is calculated, what components are included (such as materials, labor, or overhead), and may specify when and how adjustments can be made if actual costs differ from projections. This clause serves to set clear financial expectations between parties, helping to prevent disputes over payment and ensuring both sides understand their budgetary commitments.

(e) all Allowances; each in the amount agreed upon by the Core Group during the Validation Phase. The Expected Cost shall not include amounts for Owner’s Retained Costs, Owner’s Contingency or the costs of land, rights of way, financing or other items for which Owner is responsible.
9.4.2 The IPD Team Contingency is a contingency amount determined by the initial Core Group during the Validation Phase that is available to address Deficient Work (whether violating the standard of care or not) as provided in Section 7.2.3 and to pay for items that are properly considered a Cost of the Work but which do not form the basis of a Change Order. The Core Group will determine when and how the IPD Team Contingency will be allocated among budget line items. Although it is identified as a line item in the Project budget, the IPD Team Contingency is not a separate fund, but is tracked separately for the sole purpose of a risk and cost management tool.
