Cost data is captured under the following key capital cost headings: shell & core, architectural fit-out and finishes, mechanical and electrical fit-out, general contractor preliminaries, general contractor margin, general contractor contingency, and mechanical and electrical equipment. All costs are converted into a single currency, in this case, USD, using the foreign exchange rates advised by our economists."
