PROJECT COST
Construction Costs + Soft Costs = Project Costs
Typical Soft Costs include
A & E Fees + CM fees
City Expenses
Reports: Surveys, Geotech, Haz Mat
Building Permits and Utility Fees
FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures, Equipment)
Project Construction Contingency
For planning- Soft cost estimate for public projects:
New construction: 30% of construction
Renovation: 35% of construction
COST/ BUDGET Key Assumptions
Typical Construction Cost Estimate
Building Construction- New & Renovation
Demolition, if required
Site work:
Utilities & Storm Water Treatment
Parking
Landscape & Hardscape
Design Contingency (reduces as design progresses)
Other Construction Costs
Escalation
Premiums for construction phasing
Target Budget: $50-$75M
Why phased construction? Pros
Early smaller construction packages that can be pulled out of the larger project, can provide community earlier access to new improvements.
Phasing often required to allow partial occupancy of areas in current use during construction to maintain community benefit.
Cons
Typically, higher overall total project cost & added project complexity Each phase has own mobilization cost & safety protection Additional rework may be required in between phases
Risks lack of continuity and responsibility if multiple general contractors
CONSTRUCTION PHASING
How can the new Rec Campus enhance Napa’s community vitality for generations to come?
