scope:

This UFC addresses programming cost estimates for new construction and alteration projects, includes cost data (based on historic data and experience) and factors for adjusting facility costs to reflect project conditions.

Purpose

This UFC establishes criteria and standards for development and preparation of programming cost estimates for constructing military facilities using published guidance unit costs or using a parametric estimating program. Published guidance unit costs that may be used are the latest versions of UFC 3-701-01 DoD Facilities Pricing Guide or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers PAX Newsletter 3.2.2. The Tri-Services approved PACES parametric estimating program may also be used for development and preparation of programming cost estimates for constructing military facilities. 1-2
