The above figures are based on returned data from tendered social housing schemes over an extended period and are updated based on published tender index information as required. Construction cost as shown, is reflective of building costs (including VAT) and also includes normal site works and site development. ‘All-in Cost’ includes cost of construction, land cost, professional fees, utility connections, site investigations/surveys, VAT and contribution to public art. Abnormal costs are excluded from these figures.
