Each facility on the list will show the square footage required, construction class, and a quick parametric or preprogramming cost estimate. After determining the basic facilities requirements, each naval base commander then evaluates rather rigorously all his existing facilities to see how well they are being used or can be used to satisfy the basic facilities on He list that has been approved for his base.

This key step has a success ratio that goes from 0 to 100, depending on the user, the designer, and the agency's sophistication in promoting a true meeting of the minds that is still consistent with the programmed intent of the project. If the user overreaches to get more than the basic documents justified and descnbed, he may lose the whole project because the engineered estimate could well be dramatically higher than the "programmed amount," and there isn't time to recycle the preliminary design.
