NOTES:
Unit costs have been updated using the most current project data available.
Cost shown are averages to be used for establishing an order of magnitude. Actual costs will vary depending on complexity and unique conditions of each project.
Costs shown are for typical NCA construction only. Additional costs to be considered include: Pre-Design allowance; escalation to contract award date; construction contingencies;
technical services; impact costs; utility agreements; site improvements; site utilities; CM fees; and current local market conditions.
Allow additional funds for known adverse sub-surface conditions.
Allow additional funds for special construction requirements such as: phasing; unusual site constraints, tie into existing structures.
Funds for Federally required Physical Security and Energy construction mandates are NOT INCLUDED in the unit costs.
Allow additional funds for compliance with VA Physical Security Standards and Sustainability Guidelines for 5' outside of Building Envelope.
Sitework and site utility costs will vary greatly for each project. Early identification of requirements is critical.
For conceptual estimates on projects up to $25M, 15% added building cost is a reasonable rule of thumb for sitework and site utilities . Factor may decrease to 10% for larger projects.
