P2 Codes and Standards
A final construction budget for an office remodeling project
is 10% higher than the client anticipated. What strategy
would be MOST effective in lowering the costs?
A.
, Ask the contractor to use less expensive substitutes.
B.
Select less expensive finish materials.
C.
Reevaluate the area requirements with the client.
D.
Create a new, simpler space plan.
The Correct Answer is B. Finish materials comprise a
large percentage of the cost for an interior remodel.
Savings can usually be found in finishes without
adversely affecting the function of the space. The
designer will want to maintain control of the final
product and would not delegate finish selections to a
contractor. Changing the size and/or complexity of the
space would quite likely have an adverse effect on the
final function

therefore lower class of finishes is permitted.
