The monetary value per m is too high comparing to another(prenominal)s project and the stance factor is solitary(prenominal) 0.98. ii. Many element cost is undefined in details, example floor finishes, wall finishes, ceiling finishes, internal and external doors, roof, and so forth iii. The preliminary is on ly 14.52% of the engender sum (excluding contingencies) differentiate to others 5 projects. Therefore, this chief(a) cost is non analytical.Price Design Risk is assumed as 7.0% and contingencies assumed as 2.5% for the two proposed project.4.1 Element cost adjustmentThe logical adjustment for element cost as belowi. 2A Frame Proposed steel column and beam frame for this building. This element is cost 5.36% of the project and 2.30% subvert if equate with Merthyr Tydfil project. ii. 2C Roof Proposed steel pitched roof with single add waterproofing membrane for this building. This element is cost 4.43% of the project and 1.44% frown if compare with Merthyr Tydfil project.iii. 2G Internal Wall / Partitions Proposed metal stud and cubicle partitions is because a room room and two meeting room are required by client.iv. 2H Electrical Installation The percentage distribute to this element is 12.43% and is the highest compare to other five projects. Therefore, we proposed to fill in down the uses of electrical energy to this building by 5.97%.4.2 Cost analysis plan for city centre Edinburgh City, ScotlandRefer to the above BCIS data, location factor above 1.00 is Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, Aylesbury Vale, Oxford Oxfordshire, Oxford and Uxbridge, Greater London, London Borough of Hillingdon.According to the accepted cost index of 212 (1Q2010) for the Proposed 3 Storey New topographic point Block at Edinburgh City and location factor is 1.09. The updated cost per m for Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, Aylesbury Vale is 1,561.69, Oxford Oxfordshire, Oxford and Uxbridge is 1,341.77, Greater London, London Borough of Hillingdon is 1,296.19.Oxford Oxfordshire, Oxford and Uxbridge and Greater London, London Borough of Hillingdon is not selected because the updated cost per m is lower than Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, Aylesbury Vale. The low price for these two areas may be due to the location that nearby the edge of the city and it is unable to achieve a hi gh class office building.However, the updated cost per m of 1,561.69 for Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, Aylesbury Vale is selected for budgeting purpose only and this is current cost and not includes construction inflation and interest rates. The current cost limit is 2,322,729 and the projected rude(a) number is 2,300,817 as drill 1,401.38 as current cost per m in analysis 3.4.3 Cost analysis plan for outskirts of city Aberdeen City, GrampianRefer to the above BCIS data, location factor below 1.00 is Wilmslow Cheshire, Macclesfield, Merthyr Tydfil Mid Glamorgan, Merthyr Tydfil and Banbury Oxfordshire, Cherwell.According to the current cost index of 212 (1Q2010) for the Proposed 3 Storey New Office Block at Aberdeen City and location factor is 0.96. The updated cost per m for Wilmslow Cheshire, Macclesfield is 956.47, Merthyr Tydfil Mid Glamorgan, Merthyr Tydfil is 1,510.97 and Banbury Oxfordshire, Cherwell is 1,239.27. Wilmslow Cheshire, Macclesfield and Banbury Oxfordshire , Cherwell is not selected because the updated cost per m is lower than Merthyr Tydfil Mid Glamorgan, Merthyr Tydfil. The low price for these two areas may be due to the foodstuff condition and the competitive between them make the tender price on lower side for this two projects.Nevertheless, the updated cost per m is adjust to 1,510.97 for Merthyr Tydfil Mid Glamorgan, Merthyr Tydfil is selected for budgeting purpose due to the market condition is blithe whatsoever and not competitive that mean the tender price will on high side. The current cost limit is 2,045,718 and the projected tender measure is 2,026,419 as apply 1,234.25 as current cost per m in analysis 3.4.4 Cost comparison for city centre and outskirts of city ground on the cost plan for this 3 storey new office building at Edinburgh City and Aberdeen City, the projected tender sum for 2Q2010 is 2,300,817 and 2,026,419 respectively. The cost between this two distinct is 274,398 or 13.54%.5.0 SUSTAINABILITY OF BUILDINGBuilding owners, designers and builders brass instrument a unique challenge to meet demands for new and renovated facilities that are accessible, secure, healthy, and amentaceous while minimizing their impact on the environment. The main objectives of sustainable design are to avoid resource depletion of aught, water, and raw materials prevent environmental degradation caused by facilities and infrastructure throughout their life cycle and create built environments that are livable, relieveable, safe, and productive.In UK, Green Building, also known as green construction or sustainable building, is the practice of creating structures and using processes that are environmentally amenable and resource-efficient throughout a buildings life-cycle from sitting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and deconstruction.5.1 Reduce Carbon Dioxide EmissionIn UK, annual CO2 emission is 568,520 in thousands of metric tons. Buildings are amenable for more than 70 percent of electricity use therefore, reducing electricity use in buildings directly affects carbon emissions in electricity production.Therefore, solar panels and heat exchange system are proposed in this project for space heating and air-conditioning.5.2 Whole life cost of the buildingSolar energy is renewable and essentially free. There are two factors that influence the amount of money solar panels will turn in you on your electricity bills 1) the amount of money you spend on your current electric bill, and 2) the amount of electricity your solar panels will be providing.The demands of solar energy get well known because of the high prices for electricity bill using conventional source. The cosmopolitan of demand for solar energy is greater than its supply. This is due to it will cut energy consumption and pollution sources like they have lower heat loss, less air leakages, warmed window surface that improve comfort and minimize condensation.Automatic lighting and air cond itioning control system is proposed, example it will automatic off and / or change to some low voltage lighting after working hour.6.0 COST savings PROPOSALThe cost plan is for estimation budgeting only but not final contract sum for this project, so to control the final cost within budget and / or gain additional profit from the saving, the following cost savings for this project are proposedi. Proposed Slimdek extends the range of cost-effective steel options for modern buildings. Ease of planning and servicing, combined with a reduction in building height, gives significant cost and speed of construction benefits. Slimdek is especially sparing for highly serviced buildings. Flexibility of routing services without constraint and the ability to accommodate services between the ribs can lead to substantial savings in the cost of services.ii. Proposed to commence work at month April 10 because the frame work and roof covering able to finish when winter season, this help to but addi tional cost when construct in winter season, examples heating for curing concrete, protection of new work (concrete and brickwork), etc. This assist contractor to save additional cost and will reflect to overall development cost for client.iii. Solar heating panels is a the usage of solar energy to provide process that depends on the solar radiation, surface area, surface reflectance, surface emissivity, ambient temperature, and thermal convection from wind. 7.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO ACHIEVE A FIRM valueWe required additional information which will have impact on costs in order to prepare a firmer estimation cost as belowi. Ground conditionii. Site topographyiii. Site vivacious structure, accessibility and protectioniv Market conditionv. Type of contract for the project8.0 CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATIONSThe quality of the building is more of import for offices than for other development like retail. It should provide necessary services and enable elastic sub-division of floor space. While location (address) is important, over-crowding is reducing efficiency and encouraging out of town office parks.Therefore, Proposed 3 storey office block at Aberdeen City, Grampian instead of Edinburgh City due to the following reasonsi. Based on the comparison, the cost is too high build at city centre, i.e. 274,398 or 13.54% higher rather use the money for upgrade the building quality.ii. Office building is encouraging to build at outskirts of city due to the congestion is reducing efficiency and the quality of office building is more important than location.iii. The land value at Edinburgh City is more expensive compare with Aberdeen City, Grampian. This 3 storey small office cant fully lend oneself the land value at Edinburgh City.iv. according to CB Richard Ellis, Market View Scots Office H1 2008, completion of office at Edinburgh City are ensnare peak in 2009 when 611,400 sq ft (56,799 sq m) is anticipated to be delivered mean the market of office development a t Edinburgh City is competitive.9.0 COST PLAN drumheadAppendix I Aberdeen City, Grampian (Proposed to develop)Appendix II Edinburgh City, ScotlandNote Each Appendix including Analysis 1, 2 3.Cost comparison for Aberdeen City, Grampian and Edinburgh City, Scotland
