You should also include professional fees within your costing (Table 4). Note any assumptions you make. (15 marks) b) The same client is considering constructing an identical hotel in Bega. Using the Cordell Cost Guide Location Cost Factors (Figure 5), estimate the lump sum construction cost for the same motel in the second location.
