Economics of steel-framed buildings in Europe (ESE)

Metagegevens publicatie

The introduction of the Eurocodes has provided designers with a wide range of approaches for the design of steel-framed buildings. However, information on the costbenefits of steel solutions has been lacking. This report summarises the work and output from a 3-year European project to develop software and information to provide designers with the tools to obtain budget costs of common types of residential, commercial and industrial buildings and to help them approach the design in such a way as to achieve an economic outcome. The project has delivered a cost tool (ACE) which is available online to architects, engineers and procurers of buildings to calculate the cost of preliminary schemes. The cost tool is supported by detailed advice for structural arrangements and floor systems so that an economic strategy can be adopted for design. An exemplar building in each category was identified as part of the project, and their costs are fully documented in the report. They were used to test the tool and assist in its development. All this information is made available online to be used as supporting documentation and demonstration examples. This report summarises the background work in developing the cost tool, including the identification of the parameters that affect building costs and the development of the costing methodology. The necessary component prices and rates were obtained for materials, labour and transport, etc. for several countries in Europe, and these are summarised in the report and incorporated in the cost tool. They can be updated in the software by the user.
