774 Shell, Town House, End Unit

This occupancy, together with occupancy 988 (Interior Space, Town House, End Unit), allows you to individually price the shell and the tenant improvement costs for an end unit town house (in separate sections of the report).  This provides an alternative to occupancy 401 (Town House, End Unit), which includes both the shell and the tenant improvement costs.

These shells are low-rise with three or fewer stories for town house dwelling units.  The light residential framed structures are built of class C and D construction.  Each dwelling unit consists of its own separate living area, baths, and kitchen.  Interior build-out costs can be added using occupancy 988 (Interior Space, Town House, End Unit) in an additional section.

Enter the floor area, shape and number of stories entries for the individual unit, not the entire building.  Although town houses built as condominiums sometime are required by building and zoning codes to have certain items not required for rental units, basically, “condominium” is a type of ownership and not a type of construction and the town house costs are valid.

The following are not included in the costs: Elevators, interior living unit finished build-out, exterior balconies, separate recreational and service facilities and equipment, swimming pools, yard improvements and any developers’ or soft costs related to a type of ownership, such as condominium.
