Plumbing Distribution: Target Costs
354
TARGET COSTS
354.1
RANGE
The cost target range for plumbing distribution is .00 to .00 per
OGSF, averaging about .30. These figures are slightly higher than the
cost base, but are considered justified by a much greater capacity for
future change than is the case with conventional design and construction.
See Section 751.2.5 for further discussion.
