The capital cost for this sample project is estimated to be PhP209,857,724 million. This figure includes site development works, building structural systems, foundations, building circulation core (hallways, toilets, lobbies, etc.), vertical circulation systems, fire protection, architectural exterior and interior finishes, exterior lighting and landscaping, and provisions for tenant electrical, mechanical, communication and information systems. A breakdown of the budget estimate is shown in Table 3-12.
Items not included in Cost Estimate
• Specialized equipment and systems that enhance building functions, such as computers and telecommunication systems
• Land acquisition which is the responsibility of the LGU concerned
The capital cost estimates for this project are based on "high end" unit prices for construction. These account for extra conduits for telecommunications and power, fixtures for specialized equipment, and generously-sized climate control features, all of which contribute to the "smart" building concept. These premiums raise the capital cost of the project by about 5 to 8 percent.
