As a construction manager, you are asked to develop detailed time and cost plans for the construction of a new football stadium, with a gross floor area of $30,000$ m$2,$ in Lincoln City.

Task A: Using the following information and costs from a similar project that you built in $2012$ in the South East of England, prepare a detailed cost plan for the proposed stadium in Lincoln in $2022.[10$ Marks$]$

$$

The external works are budgeted to cost $1$m$.$

$$

To this sum needs to be added $18\%$ for preliminaries, overheads and a contingency.

$$

From your experience you estimate that costs in the East Midlands of England are $6\%$ cheaper than those in the South East. Adjust your budget accordingly.

$$

Assuming an average inflation rate of $1\%$ per year $($from $2012$ to $2022),$ adjust your budget accordingly.
