As part of our building componentization program, our professionals perform a detailed room-level inventory to identify shorter-life building elements. We analyze construction costs and segregate them into the following categories as specified within Uniform Guidance:
Building structure: Framing, exterior walls, roof, interior construction, and foundation, as well as allocated design and architect fees
Building services: Electrical, HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, and elevators
Fixed equipment: Laboratory benches, casework, fume hoods, environmental chambers, and emergency showers/eye wash stations
