Building Construction Estimating

Cost of construction = Area of plot x Construction rate per Sq. ft. If Someone wants to know how this cost comes and asks about what is the cost of materials and labor, then we need to calculate material quantity separately.

Construction Cost means the contract price (expected to be specified in a Construction Contract), net of applicable taxes, to complete the Construction Work, as estimated by the Cost Consultant and agreed to by the City and the Architect, acting reasonably, based on the market rates expected to prevail at the time scheduled for the Construction Work, plus, if the City is to provide any labour or material for the Construction Work, the market value of that work or material; for the avoidance of doubt, “Construction Cost” shall not include the compensation to be paid to the Architect, the Architect’s Consultants or the City’s Consultants in connection with the Project or the cost of land, City of Vancouver development cost charges or development cost levies or other costs which are the responsibility of the City (except for labour and materials for the Construction Work).

 Construction cost per sq ft

New home construction costs $100 to $155 per square foot on average with most homeowners paying $155,000 to $416,250, in addition to the cost of your land. Costs vary considerably based on location and all your choices in design and interior and exterior finishes.

The Main Types of Construction Cost Estimates

Since a cost estimate can only be accurate with a well-defined project plan, it’s standard practice to create multiple estimates during the pre-design and design phases. These become more accurate as the project’s level of definition increases. The American Society of Professional Estimators classifies estimates according to a five-level system that becomes increasingly more detailed and reliable.

  • Level 1: Order of Magnitude Estimate: Made when project design has not yet gotten under way, you only use an order of magnitude estimate to determine the overall feasibility of a construction.
  • Level 2: Schematic Design Estimate: An estimate produced in line with schematic design
  • Level 3: Design Development Estimate: An estimate made during the design development phase
  • Level 4: Construction Document Estimate: An estimate based on the construction drawings and specifications
  • Level 5: Bid Estimate: An estimate prepared by the contractor, based on construction documents. The bid estimate is the basis of the bid price offered to the customer.
