Case study assumptions
To make the data comparable across economies, several assumptions about the construction
company, the warehouse project and the utility connections are used.
The construction company (BuildCo):
- Is a limited liability company (or its legal equivalent) and operates in the economy’s largest
business city. For 11 economies the data are also collected for the second largest business city.
- Is 100% domestically and privately owned; has five owners, none of whom is a legal entity. Has a
licensed architect and a licensed engineer, both registered with the local association of architects
or engineers. BuildCo is not assumed to have any other employees who are technical or licensed
experts, such as geological or topographical experts.
- Owns the land on which the warehouse will be built and will sell the warehouse upon its
completion.
The warehouse:
- Will be used for general storage activities, such as storage of books or stationery.
- Will have two stories, both above ground, with a total constructed area of approximately 1,300.6
square meters (14,000 square feet). Each floor will be 3 meters (9 feet, 10 inches) high and will be
located on a land plot of approximately 929 square meters (10,000 square feet) that is 100%
owned by BuildCo, and the warehouse is valued at 50 times income per capita.
- Will have complete architectural and technical plans prepared by a licensed architect. If
preparation of the plans requires such steps as obtaining further documentation or getting prior
approvals from external agencies, these are counted as procedures.
- Will take 30 weeks to construct (excluding all delays due to administrative and regulatory
requirements).
