Costs survey

摘要

A study by consultant EC Harris has shown that construction costs are among the lowest in the Saudi Arabia and in parts of Africa and developing Asia. In contrast, costs are highest in Europe, with Switzerland, Denmark and Sweden topping the list. The study by EC Harris looks at construction costs in 56 countries around the world, providing an indicative cost range per m2 across a range of residential and non-residential building types. These are then indexed against a benchmark, where a score of 100 is equivalent to the cost per m2 in the south-east of the UK.
