Budget
Preparing a project budget is not a simple task, and is more than just getting an estimate for the
construction cost of a building shell and basic mechanical and electrical systems.
It is difficult to price what has not been designed, detailed, or described. Project budgets include
many unknowns at the conceptual stage and not accounting for them will underfund the budget.
From our experience, beyond the building shell and basic utilities, project budgets should include
the following:
SITE CONCERNS:
Land acquisition
Geotechnical investigation
Stormwater management
Road improvements
Reforestation
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES:
Cranes
Racking
UTILITY UPGRADES:
INDIRECT COSTS:
TECHNOLOGY:
While the above list is not all inclusive, it is the basis of a well thought project budget.
