INDICATIVE BUILDING COSTSCosts updated to 3rd Quarter 2006The Indicative Building Costs booklet, last published in 1st Quarter 2006 has a number ofdiscrete sections which are being updated on a quarterly basis and posted separately on theIntranet.Click onto the links below to gain access to the different, or related sections:-Average Building Costs per m2 (costs per sq ft);Benchmark Costs;Air Conditioning Costs;Location Factors;Tender Price Index; Civil Engineering Costs for Roads and Bridges

AVERAGE COSTS PER M2 (COSTS PER SQ FT)3rd Quarter 2006IntroductionThe costs in this study represent typical guideline ranges of costs that a client could expect topay for the buildings outlined, based on current (3rd quarter 2006) price levels.Unless otherwise indicated, costs are per m² or per sq ft of gross floor area, measured to theinternal face of the external walls.Click onto the links below to go to the Cost per m2 (Cost per sq ft) tables:-Industrial Buildings;Offices;Retail;Health,Leisure;Education;Residential;HotelsBuilding costs are affected by a number of factors, building type, location, siteaccessibility, design, etc. However, it is possible to give costs for building types assuming`average design', `average accessibility' etc. Buildings will always be built whose costs falloutside the bands given; the costs in this study are indicative costs for average conditions,that is to say an unrestricted site with no abnormal requirements (for demolitions, specialfoundations etc.).External WorksThe costs in the tables are for the building only (i.e. excluding external works) with aproportion of preliminaries and contingencies allocated to the building. The cost of roads,landscaping, site enclosure and any service runs should be added to arrive at any calculationof total development cost.In broad terms it is worth noting that multi-million pound schemes, cramped sites and multistorey construction will mitigate towards low percentage additions for external works. At theother end of the scale, putting a small building on a large site will create a disproportionateexternal works percentage._____________________________________________________________________Cost Research Department (July 2006) 1 © Paul Moore for EC Harris

Where extensive access roads or landscaping is required, these costs shouldbe calculated separately.The cost of parking at grade (at ground level) can most simply be calculated on a cost per carbasis. Assuming a clear site with no special preparation required, typical parking costs in theSouth East would be:-Tarmacadam pavingBlock paviors£1,100 - £1,400 per space£1,250 - £1,500 per spaceCosts include normal paving, kerbs, site lighting, drainage, etc as necessary.Note that the cost of normal parking provision is included in the external workspercentage addition figures given earlier._____________________________________________________________________Cost Research Department (July 2006) 2 © Paul Moore for EC Harris

MethodologyThe costs in this study have been calculated by updating the prices in the previous edition ofthe Indicative Building Costs booklet to current, 3rd quarter 2006 levels, using the EC HarrisTender Price Index. These updated figures were checked against costs for tenders morerecently received and adjusted as necessary against these later figures.Since the costs represent average buildings the more extreme buildings in the database havebeen excluded. The updated costs represent realistic estimates of buildings `as built'.ForecastingThe figures in the Guide are current prices at 3rd quarter 2006 price levels. Appendix Acontains a forecast of tender price inflation over the next 5 years, expressed as a percentageaddition to apply to the base figures contained in the guide.Mechanical Engineering CostsWith mechanical engineering installations becoming ever more sophisticated, and M & E costsbecoming increasingly significant, guideline figures produced by the ECH Engineering Sectionhave been calculated for the costs of different types of air conditioning installations which aregenerally applicable to commercial buildings.To view these air conditioning costs, click onto this link: - Air Conditioning Capital CostsRegional FiguresThe average building have all been adjusted to a common region using the regional indexfigures published by the Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) of the Royal Institution ofChartered Surveyors. These base cost figures were then adjusted using the BCIS regionalindices to give the average costs for the regions published in the study.For simplicity, the regions have been grouped together into groups of similarly priced areas,grouped together to reflect the latest BCIS location factorsNote that the regional factors are constantly changing to reflect tender conditions and as aresult the grouping of the regions changed in 2006. Not the least of those changes is thatprices in Outer London are now banded with prices in the rest of the South East Region as thedifferences between them have shrunk over time.With costs in South East England as the base, the ‘Cost per m2’ tables make the followingallowances for the other regions: -Outer London + 3%Inner London + 14%London Postal Districts + 9%East Anglia, South West - 7%North West, Northern, Yorks & Humber - 11%E & W Midlands, - 13%Scotland, Wales -15%Northern Ireland - 36%The latest BCIS Regional figures, which gives location factors at Region and County levelscan be accessed by clicking onto this link:- BCIS Regional Location Factors_____________________________________________________________________Cost Research Department (July 2006) 3 © Paul Moore for EC Harris

Civil Engineering Costs of Roads and BridgesOutline costs are provided for roads, bridges and other structures. This data has come fromthe work that that we have been carrying out with the Highways Agency. Only a small,representative sample of the available cost data is shown, more information can be providedon request.Costs are given for the more common forms of road and for the more common bridges andassociated structures.Rates generally are given per linear metre run of roads, including all work to carriageways,verges, etc. The costs for bridges are given per m2 of deck area. The bridge costs arecategorized by number of spans as this was found to be the most costs significant designitem.To view these civil engineering costs, click onto the links below:-Civil Engineering Costs of RoadsCivil Engineering Costs of Bridges_____________________________________________________________________Cost Research Department (July 2006) 4 © Paul Moore for EC Harris

Heating and lighting costs are excluded. Purpose built industrial units will usually include for an element of both heating and lighting and for a small percentage of officeprovision. Elevation treatment will usually be more expensive than in standard units .High bay distribution units are purpose built. Eaves heights may be from 15 to 20m high. Chilled distribution warehouses are also purpose built. Structures will include for a higher level of insulation than in standard units while the services installations will includechilling units.

Elevation treatments, finishes and fittings are potential areas of high expenditure. Services installations can be increased to include CCTV, Building Management Systems(BMS), UninterruptedPower Supplies (UPS), etc, with substantial cost consequences.Commercial offices are most often finished to Category 'A' or 'Developers' fit out which will typically include full fit out of toilets, and circlation space and includes background fit out of the main office areas.

Click here for indicative figures for the additional costs of External Works© Paul Moore for EC HarrisCosts of 4 and 5 star hotels are dependent upon the efficiency ratios of the net bedroom to gross floor area. This in turn is driven by the density of the bedrooms as a function of the meeting and ancillary accommodation. Costs of 4 and 5 star hotels are also linked to theadditional bars,restaurants, conference facilities, function rooms and ballroom facilities that are being provided, although costs above include for dry leisure facilities only, i.e. no swimming pools.FF&E and OS&E costs are for bedrooms only and include case goods, wall and floor coverings, decorative lighting, soft furnishings and hotel operator’s equipment. Costs exclude bathroom fittings and FF &E to public areas, function rooms, etc. Note that the range ofcosts for FF&E in 4 star hotels is very wide. A number of hotel operators (particularly those aiming at the corporate market) brand their hotels as 4 star but with 5 star finishes.Exclusions:- Costs exclude professional fees which will typically be around 12 - 15%. All room costs exclude FF&E which are given separately. Refurbishment costs exclude Mechanical and Electrical infrastructure costs.

CIVIL ENGINEERING COSTS(July 2006)The outline costs for roads, bridges and other structures, below, havecome from the work that that EC Harris has been carrying out with theHighways Agency. Note that the figures come from an analysis of theHighways Agency’s data on trunk roads in England and reflect real lifeconditions; they have not been built up from first principles, and thereare some cases where the figures show some surprising answers.Costs are given for the more common forms of road and for the morecommon bridges and associated structures.Rates generally are given per linear metre run of roads, including allwork to carriageways, verges, etc. The costs for bridges are given perm2 of deck area. The bridge costs are categorized by number of spansas this was found to be the most costs significant design item.All rates are inclusive of preliminaries but exclusive design, planningand supervision, and VAT. The rates shown are National rates. TheNational Statistics Office produces a Tender Price Index of RoadConstruction (ROADCON INDEX), which includes location factorswhich can be applied to road costs. Details of these indices can besupplied if required.Note that only a small, representative sample of the Highways Agencycost data is shown, more information can be provided on request.Note that the Highways Agency updates their figures using the ROCOS(Resource Cost Index of Road Construction) index. The costs in thispublication have been updated using the latest ROCOS ‘Combined’index figure of 163 for 4th Quarter 2005._____________________________________________________________________________________________Cost Research Department (July 2006)© Paul Moore for EC Harris
