Three Types of Cost Estimations: Base, P10, and P90
P10 Cost Estimate
What is P10?
A P10 Cost Estimate is designed for cost-conscious budgeting. It represents a 10% probability that the actual costs may exceed this estimate, making it ideal for early-stage planning and cost-saving strategies.

During Initial Planning: When project scope is still flexible.
For Cost Minimization: Helps optimize costs and manage risks effectively.

Risk Identification: Detects potential risks that could influence costs.
Contingency Planning: Allocates necessary buffers to handle unforeseen challenges.
Key Benefits:
Cost Efficiency: Helps maintain a lean budget without sacrificing quality.
Proactive Risk Management: Prevents financial roadblocks before they arise.
P90 Cost Estimate
What is P90?
A P90 Cost Estimate provides a 90% confidence level that your actual costs will not exceed the estimate. This approach ensures financial stability by preparing for unexpected variations.
Why It’s Crucial:
For High-Risk Projects: Ideal for projects with numerous variables.
Ensures Financial Security: Provides a buffer against unforeseen expenses.
Our Methodology:
Comprehensive Risk Assessment: Evaluates all cost-impacting factors.
