U.S. Courts Design Guide
Cost Influence Graph
The judiciary strongly recommends participation of affected parties during all phases
of a project, particularly at the project's inception. As the Cost Influence Graph above
shows, the greatest opportunity to influence project cost occurs in the planning and
programming phases.
Management participation in the planning and programming phases is very important
to ensure cost-effectiveness during design and construction. As the project progresses
toward the design and construction phases, the cost of implementing changes
increases.
