12.3% of contract value: Direct 6.4% plus indirect 5.9% rework cost, 161 Australian professionals (Love & Edwards, 2005; Australia; moderate confidence).

What it is. 12.3% of total contract value, direct plus indirect.

Sample. National survey of 161 construction professionals about recently completed Australian projects. Mixed sectors.

What it is not. A perception survey. Design consultants' and project managers' estimates differed significantly. A 'total of 10%' appeared only in a search snippet, not the abstract, so it is not cited from this paper.

Our arithmetic. 6.4% direct + 5.9% indirect = 12.3% (both from the abstract; the sum is ours)
