Const. MgmtCost Summary Overall Floor Framing Cost Comparison
Const. Mgmtcost summary Overall Core Framing Cost Comparison
Const. Mgmtcost summary Foundation Comparison • Existing Auger Cast Piles • 374 Piles *( 50’) * $30.00/ft = $561,000 • Schedule: 50’ (374 piles) / 350 = 53 days • Micro-Piles (Mini-Piles) • 300 Mini-piles*($55.00/ft) 50’ = $825,000 • 300 mini-piles * 50’ / 275ft/day = 54.5 days
Const. Mgmtcost summary Projected Mechanical Savings • Reduction of Construction Cost: • -HVAC Cost = $283,040 • Enhancement of Property Value: • -Tenant Re-Occupancy = $312,131 • Improvement in Tenant Attractiveness: • -Life Cycle Savings (1st Year) = $304,168 • -Staff Productivity (1st Year) = $635,400
Summary & Conclusions • Structural: • Floor Framing: 70% Composite Unshored • Watch Steel Prices- 100% Comp. Shored • Foundation: Stay with Auger Cast Piles • If Schedule becomes an issue go with Mini-Piles • Core Framing: Raise the Core • Mechanical: Under Floor Air Distribution
