Description

Alberta Municipal Affairs has produced this manual as a service to municipalities and stakeholders. The manual establishes typical replacement costs for residential buildings and properties based on 2001 replacement costs. The benchmark to establish costs for the Alberta 2001 Residential Cost Manual are typical 2001 replacement costs in the Edmonton area. The manual uses the full cost pricing of all typical building components including conventional mark-up. If supply and demand for buildings are relatively equal, the cost approach should establish a cost base given short run fluctuations in supply and demand. The cost approach was used to provide an equitable comparison of similar buildings however it may not represent the specific construction costs or actual costs incurred by a property owner. Buildings are classified by type and quality. Basic characteristics such as location, age, actual condition and depreciation can be analyzed, compared and verified.
