Notes: The costs for the respective categories given above are averages based on fixed price competitive tenders. It must be understood that the actual cost of a building will depend upon the design and many other factors and may vary from the figure shown. The costs per square metre are based on Construction Floor Areas measured to the outside face of the external walls / external perimeter including lift shafts, stairwells, balconies, plant rooms, water tanks and the like. All buildings are assumed to have no basements (except otherwise stated) and are built on flat ground, with normal soil and site condition. The cost excludes site formation works, external works, land cost, professional fees, finance and legal expenses. The standard for each category of building vary from country to country. Fluctuation in exchange rate may lead to changes in construction costs expressed in U.S. dollars.
