What To Budget

To ensure your budget covers critical expenses and the possibility of changes in project scope and direction, please set aside a reserve of 35% over the basic project fee:

• An extra 25% for critical expenses
• An extra 10% for changes in project scope and direction

That is, budget 135% of the basic project fee. That way, you have all the funding you need to ask for extras along the way.
