figures. The design and tender documents may need to be amended if
the estimate does not match the project brief.

Review with the client the implications of the pre-tender
estimate prepared by the cost consultant.

•for an employer client: provide revised information if relevant for
corrected cost estimates
•for a contractor client: provide revised information if relevant to the
