Who developed the construction cost estimates presented at the July 22, 2008 Community Forum?
The construction budgets presented at the July 22 Community Forum were developed by the architects. These are preliminary order of magnitude numbers and based on the early stage of planning. They are based on square foot costs and are to be used to compare the differences between the three alternative approaches presented. These budgets will be reviewed and validated by the Construction Management firm, once one is selected. Once an alternative is selected and design work on a specific plan proceeds the Construction Manager will prepare detailed cost estimates at each stage of the design process.
