Comparative Construction Costs According to Project Size

Below is a chart indicating how the overall value of the total construction project affects construction costs.

The costs differences reflect the economies of scale and efficiencies achieved as a project gets larger. For example, a £1,000,000 construction project has a cost factor of approximately 1, a £100,000 construction project has a cost factor of approximately 1.12 meaning unit costs would be some 12% more expensive, a £10,000,000 construction project has a cost factor of approximately 0.89 meaning unit costs would be some 11% cheaper.
