1. Instruction
We have undertaken a study of the probable cost of construction for the above project,
based on the initial architectural drawings and other information provided.
We have also taken into consideration the proposed method of procurement (Developer
Managed).
2. Brief Development Description
The proposal comprises the demolition of existing structure(s) and the construction of a four
(4) storey residential development over two (2) levels of basement car parking, at Nos. 2-4
Mintaro Avenue, Strathfield. The proposed Development consists of:
- Thirty five (35) x parking spaces within two (2) basement levels;
- Eighteen (18) residential units within four (4) levels (Ground Floor to Level 3):
o Fifteen (15) x two bed units;
o Three (3) x three bed unit.
Typically, each residential unit comprises of a bathroom, ensuite, laundry, living/dining,

bedrooms, kitchen and balcony.

The required Council Schedule, titled “Registered Quantity Surveyor’s Detailed Cost Report”
is attached in Appendix A. Also, please refer to Appendix B for an Elemental Cost Estimate
Summary prepared in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment
Regulation 2000 (Reg 25J) - Section 94A Levy - Determination of proposed cost of
Development. A detailed report may be obtained upon request.
Our Construction Cost Estimate may be considered as reasonable, based on the proposed
level of finishes and in the absence of the Structural and Services drawings, the Contract
Documents and DA Conditions.

4. Areas
According to the architectural drawings, the proposed approximate Floor Areas may be
presented as follows:
G.F.A***
Building Level Description F.E.C.A* (m2) U.C.A** (m2) Total (m2)
Basement 2 Parking 830 830
Basement 1 Parking 830 830
Ground Floor Units 392 69 461
Ground Floor Common Area 60 60
Level 1 Units 389 69 458
Level 1 Common Area 16 42 58
Total 3,156 371 3,527
F.E.C.A (Fully Enclosed Covered Area): The sum of all such areas at all building floor levels, including basements
(except unexcavated portions), floored roof spaces and attics, garages, penthouses, enclosed porches and
attached enclosed covered ways alongside building, equipment rooms, lift shafts, vertical ducts, staircases and
any other fully enclosed spaces and useable areas of the building, computed by measuring from the normal
inside face of exterior walls but ignoring any projections such as plinths, columns, piers and the like which
project from the normal inside face of exterior walls. It shall not include open courts, light wells, connecting or
isolated covered ways and net open areas of upper portions of rooms, lobbies, halls interstitial spaces and the
like which extend through the storey being computed.
**U.C.A (Unenclosed Covered Area): The sum of all such areas at all building floor levels, including roofed
balconies, open verandahs, porches and porticos, attached open covered ways alongside buildings, undercrofts
and useable space under buildings, unenclosed access galleries (including ground floor) and any other
trafficable covered areas of the building which are not totally enclosed by full height walls, computed by
measuring the area between the enclosing walls or balustrade (ie. from the inside face of the UCA excluding the
wall or balustrade thickness). When the covering element (ie. roof or upper floor) is supported by columns, is
cantilevered or is suspended, or any combination of these, the measurements shall be taken to the edge of the
paving or to the edge of the cover, whichever is the lesser. UCA shall not include eaves overhangs, sun shading,
awnings and the like where these do not relate to clearly defined trafficable covered areas, nor shall it include
connecting or isolated covered ways.
*** G.F.A (Gross Floor Area): The sum of the 'Fully Enclosed Covered Area' and 'Unenclosed Covered Area' as
defined.
5. Quality of Finishes
The proposed finishes of the residential portion of the Development may be considered of
standard to good quality, as described in the attached Schedule of Finishes (Appendix C),
prepared by MMDCC and based on information supplied by the Developer. The quality of
finishes proposed, are appropriate to the type, scale and location of this project.

7. Documentation
Our Cost Estimate was based on Architectural Drawings supplied by Bechara Chan &
Associates Pty Ltd, Project No. 141019, Drawing No. 01 to 15, Issue E, dated 25/06/2015.
Please refer to Appendix D for a reduced copy of part of these drawings.
8. Design Assumptions / Parameters
In the absence of engineering drawings, the structure of the proposed buildings was
assumed of conventional nature, comprising the following:
- Reinforced concrete soldier piles to basement shoring;

- Reinforced concrete strip / pad footings;
- Reinforced concrete columns and floor slabs (framed structure).
Our Indicative Cost Estimate was based on the assumption that the whole development will
be constructed in a single stage (i.e. not a staged development). If the building is to be
completed in stages, the cost of preliminaries and Building services may increase.

- Structural and services documentation;
- Contract conditions;
- Final PC Items and Provisional Allowances;
- Variations in the proposed fixtures and finishes;
- DA Conditions.
