HISTORICAL AIR FORCE CONSTRUCTION COST HANDBOOK, USAF DIRECTORATE OF ENGINEERING, SUPPORT (FEB-2007)

HISTORICAL AIR FORCE CONSTRUCTION COST HANDBOOK, USAF DIRECTORATE OF ENGINEERING, SUPPORT (FEB-2007). The Historical Air Force Construction Cost Handbook is prepared by the Directorate of Technical Support, HQ AFCESA/CESC, to provide valid historical costs used in preparing cost estimates and analyses for Air Force construction. Updates are made annually. Prices for OSD Common Facilities, Area Cost Factors, escalation rates, and the size adjustment curve are from UFC 3-701-07, DoD Facility Pricing Guide. Data for AF Unique Facility Costs, Supporting Facility Costs, and Supporting Facility Percentages are from AF Historical data in the Program, ACES system, DD Forms 1391, the Parametric Cost Engineering System (PACES); or from detailed quantity takeoff estimates from typical designs. The historical costs are carefully purged to ensure the correct data is listed. Projects with unusual costs often turn out to be additions, alterations, or add/alter projects and are not used in the database. Other reasons include bidding climate, special design features included that are not normally used on an average facility, or unique conditions at a certain location.
