TABLE A: UNIT COSTS FOR DoD FACILITIES
Table A provides metric unit cost data for DoD facilities in dollars per square meter ($/m2) and equivalent English unit cost data in
dollars per square foot ($/SF).
Most unit costs and referenced facility sizes are based on historic construction award data for Air Force, Army and Navy projects with
construction contracts awarded after January 1997. Unit costs for a few category codes that have a limited number of awarded
projects are based on contracts awarded since 1990. The unit cost database includes only new construction projects and does not
include data from renovation or add/alter projects. The facility types or category codes listed represent those facilities more frequently
constructed by the Services.
NOTES:
1.
Unit costs are escalated to October 2005 and October 2006, the assumed midpoints of construction for FY05 and FY06,
respectively, with an area cost factor of 1.00. Use the OSD inflation rates shown in Table D to escalate the FY05 unit costs
beyond FY05. Unit costs include installed (built-in) building equipment and furnishings normally funded with MILCON funds.
Unit costs are for primary facilities only and do not include supporting facility costs; equipment acquired with other fund sources;
