Hospital Cost Model - Cost breakdown
The cost model illustrates the type of capital investment which the Procure21 route will focus upon, with an acute trauma facility comprising out-patient facilities, consulting rooms and treatment rooms and care beds. The scheme does not include operating theatres or other specialist space.
The scheme, with a gross internal floor area of 3253 m2, comprises three storeys of accommodation together with roof level plant. It is based on a scheme built on an existing urban health campus.
Rates in the model are at fourth quarter 2003 price levels, based on outturn costs for a project let on a two stage, lump sum contract, located in south-east England. Demolition and site preparation, type 2, 3 and 4 equipment, professional fees and VAT are excluded.
Rates in the model may need to be adjusted to account for specification, site conditions, procurement route and programme. Care should be taken in applying general location factors to health service projects with a high proportion of specialist systems and proprietary equipment.
