HONG KONG REPORT December 2011 cost model University Building Our cost model for academic buildings of universities in Hong Kong indicates that the unit cost range is from HK$17,500 to HK$20,500 per m 2 of construction floor area (CFA) at 3rd Quarter 2011 price level. The variance in unit costs is mainly due to the building size and shape, number of storeys, façade treatment and mix of lecture rooms, auditorium, laboratories and staff offices. Standalone laboratory buildings, hostels and amenities buildings are outside the cost range. This cost model is based on the assumption that the building is solely for academic use without basement. In addition, the following items are excluded: 1. Site formation and demolition of existing building, if any. 2. Basement construction. 3. External works and landscaping. 4. Utility diversion. 5. Furniture and equipment. 6. Consultancy fees, legal, financial and marketing expenses. Cost Range (at 3rd Quarter 2011 price level) Range (HK$) 1. Foundation and substructure 3,400 ~ 4,000 2. Structural frame and slabs 2,800 ~ 3,100 3. External façade 3,100 ~ 3,700 4. Architectural, builders’ work and finishes 3,500 ~ 4,200 5. Building services installations 4,700 ~ 5,500 Total : 17,500 ~ 20,500 Cost Model - Academic Building HK$ per m 2 Construction Floor Area 5. Building services installations 1. Foundation and substructure 6000 5000 4000 3000 2000 1000 0 2. Structural frame and slabs 4. ABWF 3. External façade Upper Limit Lower Limit Remarks: The cost model should be regarded as guidelines to indicate the likely range of university building costs for early stage cost planning. Actual costs will depend, among others, on the final design and the eventual selection of materials. 8
