To ask the Chief Executive to provide construction costs for direct build social housing and cost rental housing by SDCC secured through competitive tender for the period 2019-2024 and to include dwelling type, construction unit cost, utilities/levies, professional/design fees, VAT, land value per unit and any other sunken or legacy costs?
REPLY:
Detailed below are the direct social and cost rental build costs incurred by the Council for the period 2019 - 2024. The tables list both our completed developments and schemes currently under construction.
Projects listed as complete but denoted with an * asterisk are currently within the contractual post-completion defects period, therefore a final account has not yet been agreed.
Figures provided for contracts under construction are the agreed tender costs, with additional costs that have been approved by the Department of Housing Local Government and Heritage (DHLGH)
All projects tendered were submitted to the DHLGH for budget approval prior to appointment of the relevant services. The total all-in budget includes construction costs, professional design team fees, VAT, utility connections, site surveys, administration fees and land costs (where applicable) as approved by the Department
