Construction estimate C = measured gross floor area (m²) × applicable Accra benchmark (USD/m²). Resale construction component = C × 1.50. The 50% increase includes the resale markup; it is not a separate inflation reserve. This replaces the previous construction uplift and revenue-margin formula. No additional automatic markup or contingency is stacked on this calculation.
Measure each apartment's practical net area and allocate walls, circulation, cores and common building areas once to determine gross construction area. Existing concept sizes and 70% net-to-gross efficiency are illustrative until measured by the design team; they do not establish code compliance.
Land, site preparation, infrastructure, fixtures/appliances and fitout excluded from the benchmark, professional fees, taxes and financing remain separate, reconciled cost lines. Preliminary combined amount = 1.50 × construction cost + allocated land + other separately established costs. No second markup is assumed on those separate lines. Final sale offers remain pending complete costs and approved layouts.
Owner's latest land planning assumptions: Savannah / Zion Trust Estates US$20,000/acre; in-town Civic Center US$30,000/acre (17 acres = US$510,000); other development land US$25,000/acre. These are owner allowances, not verified acquisition costs or public land offers.
