Key Findings: 1. Local Factors • Local reviews and sources added costs: • Community opposition (5 percent) • Design review changes (6 percent) • Redevelopment projects (7 percent)
2. Parking • Podium or subterranean parking (6 percent) • Relative to surface or other parking
3. Developer Factors • Larger developers may correlate with cost efficiency • Developers with licensed general contractor on staff may correlate with cost efficiency • Quality/durability correlate with cost (15%)
Measuring Quality • Roofing: 10-; 15-; or 20-year warranty • 92% reported 20-year • Exteriors: Stained plywood; fiber cement siding; or stucco • 80% reported stucco
Quality cont. • Windows: Aluminum sliders; vinyl, PVC, or casement; or wood clad casement • 91% reported vinyl, PVC, or casement • Flooring: vinyl tile; sheet linoleum; or ceramic tile • 73% reported sheet linoleum
