Your client owns a plot of land in New York City that is 200' x 150' and wishes to build a 7 story apartment building. Zoning requirements will not allow you to build within 5 feet of the sidewalk (see figure) and the building cannot exceed 80' in height. Assume 12' per story How many stories can legally be built?80/12 = 6.66 The owner would like to know how much leasable space they will have. What is the maximum allowable total square footage of the building?(195 times 145)(6.6C) =188, 311.5Sf Assume that 35percentage of the exterior envelope of the building is comprised of windows. The exterior cladding has a cost of dollar22 50/SF including material and labor What is the total cost for the exterior cladding?

Explanation / Answer

C. The building envelope is of four walls of which two are of one dimensions and another two of other dimensions

So total area = 2(195*80)+2(145*80)

=54400 SF

And 35 is of windows

.: Remaining is 65*54400/100 = 35360 SF

Total cost = 35360*22.50

= $795600
