Cost Matrix
Estimate Your Next Big Project
DIRECTIONS FOR USING THE BUDGET FORMAT:
Listed below are the variables that affect the cost of stadium construction.
Each condition
has listed the most economical design or condition and the
highest cost design or condition.
Job requirements that exceed the definition
in the highest cost category will add to the cost shown on this format.
Each of the variables should be analyzed to determine the relative impact
on the cost.
For example, if the project requires union wages to be paid, poor soil conditions
exist, and the front elevation of the structure is 10', the cost per square
foot would be somewhat above the average cost and could be near the high
end. Conversely, if the majority of the conditions that exist are in the
most economical category, the price will be below average.
(Scope of Work: Pricing includes design, engineering, foundations, structural steel, welded aluminum deck, railings, ramps, installation, and general conditions. Pricing excludes general contractor mark-up.)

PRICING
Multiply the number of seats by the appropriate number of square feet per
seat, using the chart below to determine the number of total square
feet in the facility. The price for the stadium structure is calculated
by multiplying the total square footage by the price per square foot
