Excerpt:

Explanation of the Cost Tables:

This manual provides construction or replacement costs for a wide variety of residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural and military buildings. For your convenience and to avoid possible errors, all the cost and reference information you need for each building type is listed with the primary cost figures for that building. After reading this and the following two pages you should be able to turn directly to any building type and make an error-free estimate or appraisal.

The costs are per square foot of floor area for the basic building and additional costs for optional or extra components that differ from building to building. Building shape, floor area, design elements, materials used, and overall quality influence the basic structure cost. These and other cost variables are isolated for the building types. Components included in the basic square foot cost are listed with each building type. Instructions for using the basic building costs are included above the cost tables. These instructions include a list of components that may have to be added to the basic cost to find the total cost for your structure.

They show the total construction cost including all design fees, permits, and the builder's supervision, overhead, and profit. These figures do not include land value, site development costs, or the cost of modifying unusual soil conditions or grades.
