The reason the budgets "very widely" is mainly due to the design team getting too creative and any crazy LEED / environmental requirements. <br />I'll make it easy for you for the Snow Hill people.... Make sure the design team has designed schools. Then ask to see some of their previous elementary schools and ask how much it cost to build them and work from there. Or you can call up Fairfax, PG, Montgomery, Anne Arundel counties and ask about their recent schools and cost. I'm sure they would give you any info you ask for; because its in the best interest of the taxpayers.<br />Fairfax builds schools better than anyone I've seen. They build the same design over and over. All the kinks are worked out and construction goes really quick. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
