Notes:
C
Costs are based on 1996 data, factored to a Washington, D.C., location, and adjusted to a normal "fair value" bidding condition. The baseline is for a
building of 300,000 GSF (27,870 Gm2).
C
Foundations, substructure, and roofing costs/GSF (costs/Gm2) will vary by the number of floors. Costs are based on five floors.
C
If the building includes parking, costs are as follows: structured parking below grade: to /GSF (0 - 0/Gm2); structured parking above
grade: to /GSF (0 -0/Gm2); and parking on grade: to /GSF (.50 - /Gm2).
C
The total cost range in this table does not necessarily reflect the aggregate total of each element.
C
Costs are based on new construction, not refurbishment. Costs are applicable for repair and alteration of a complete shelled facility.
