Project cost estimates are presented in different ways

EPCM contractors preferred to present project cost estimates one way but Clients preferred it another way

EPCM contractors preferred to present cost estimates using a % confidence (z in the above image)
Capex approvers preferred a simple +/- or not to exceed.

I found myself as project manager taking responsibility for transposing one into the other. This involved interpreting the EPCM’s probability curve
