Total Cost Formula
Total Cost = (Built-up Area × Cost per Sq. Ft) + Add-on Package Cost
Keep the calculation this clean in the consultation. Start with structure, then add the protection layer that absorbs the late-stage extras.

Cost Priority
Structure first. Protection next.
Structure shell
82% of the benchmark
Protection layer
18% of the benchmark
Decision rule
If the structure number feels right but the protection layer feels light, change the add-on package before you change the whole construction tier.
Visual Check
Match the estimate to the finish level you expect.
A facade reference keeps the budget discussion honest. If the visual ambition is richer than the image benchmark, the number usually needs a stronger package or a more generous add-on layer.
