Ellana provided cost estimating services for this four-story, 10,000 SF housing development spread over two wings. Constructed in 1854 and last updated in 1980, the overall building exhibited significant wear and tear. We found opportunities to buy certain materials in bulk, particularly for bathrooms and kitchens, and factored in typical labor rates based on averages of affordable housing developments and other projects in the Boston region.
