Project Costs
The costs for this project can be broken down into both design costs and construction costs.
Design Costs
The design costs for this project has been broken down by tasks. The information can be seen in the table below. The total design hours came to 468 hours. This total number of hours is significantly less than what was estimated in the proposal with a total of 1182 hours. There are many reasons for this over-estimate. One of which is that, CLL provided a great deal of information that aided in the analysis for the design project of the RDC.

Construction Costs
The costs for the construction of this project are included in the table below. All of the projects listed were the components needed to complete the design for the RDC. These components have corresponding units in accordance with how the projects were measured. The quantity was the amount of each unit that the project needed for the design. With the total price and quantity multiplied together, a total price for each project could be determined. The sum of these prices gave the total price for both labor and material of each project. All of these prices were taken from RS Means, which is where both the labor and materials costs came from. The table below shows all the values found.

All of the projects are explained in the design portion listed above except for the contingency. The contingency is defined as the unexpected prices that could occur during the actual implementation of the design. With a 20% contingency, all unknown prices are covered, giving a total right under $500,000. With a maximum budget of one million dollars, the total design budget was much less than the total budget used.
