Design contingencies through phasing.

Im an architect working with a new estimator the past few projects (20M - 100M) and the design contingency dosnt drop below %15 once we hit %95 CDs. Can any estimator here share thier contingency percents from SD, DD and CD?

My previous estimator started at %10 for %100 SDs and proceeded to drop when the project developed further. Is this new estimator just covering his ass???
