A construction budget is a great way to keep your project on
track during execution. In terms of what to include in your construc-
tion project budget that depends on the project you’re working on. But
in general, a construction budget should include the following:
Property: This cost is dependent on where you are building and
the scope of your project. This includes the lot price, real estate fees,
financing and taxes.
Professional Fees and Services: These costs relate to professional consulting; including permitting, surveying, testing, architectural

and design, master planning, structural, electrical, mechanical and civil
engineering, accounting, banking and real estate fees.
Materials: Unlike other costs, materials expenses can be negotiable, especially if you have a relationship with your suppliers. Material costs tend to be a large portion of your construction budget, and
are usually broken down into two categories: site preparation and
building structure.
Labor: This is the cost of your tradespeople, subcontractors,
equipment operators and other human resources. Keep in mind not only
hourly wages, but also workers’ compensation, vacation and sick time.
Equipment and Tools: The material and labor costs will inform
the selection of equipment and tools, which helps you determine what
you’ll need to rent for the job. Remember to include delivery, operating, fuel and maintenance costs.
Project Management: Project management methodologies
help organize and monitor a budget to avoid overspending. Consider
the costs of project management software, as well as any office space,
utilities, internet connection, phone expenses and office supplies.
Insurance and Bonds: All construction projects are legally required to carry insurance. There might also be a deposit or bond required as a show of faith that your company is going to follow through
and ensure all subcontractors, tradespeople and suppliers are paid.
This is especially true if working on a governmental project.
Utilities and Taxes: This includes gas, water, sewer and electric
costs associated with the building site. It’s also possible the construction project is subject to local and state taxes. These rates are determined by the scope and type of construction project you’re managing.
Contingency: Here is where you provide breathing room for
your budget to absorb unforeseen costs and unexpected expenses.
Some things that fall under this include changes in scope, design or
material upgrades, machinery malfunctions, accidents and acts of God.
Usually, your contingency fund is between three and 10 percent of
your total budget.
