SRQ762 Cost Planning: Design Feasibility of 5-Storey Apartments

This report provides a cost planning analysis for the design feasibility of a 5-story serviced apartment building in Brisbane CBD. It evaluates three design schemes (A, B, and C) using techniques like functional units and area/volume methods to estimate preliminary costs. The report details indicative costs for each scheme, including elements like substructure, superstructure, finishes, fittings, and services, along with professional fees and contingencies. Crucial factors influencing cost advice, such as construction material costs, labor wages, site conditions, project schedule, and plan quality, are also discussed. The analysis uses Rawlinson's 2014 data, adjusted for Melbourne, to inform the estimates, aiming to provide a basis for selecting the most cost-effective design scheme.
