UniPhi 12 - Cost metrics

A really cool feature in UniPhi 12 is the ability for system admins to create their own cost metrics either element by element or for the project as a whole. Common elemental metrics in construction include:

  • $/m2 of GFA
  • $/m2 of FECA
  • $/m2 of floors
  • $/bed
  • $/hotel room or key
  • etc
On a whole of project basis, the above metrics are interesting in addition to benchmark ratios, functional units and sense checks. Examples for these are:

  • Wall to floor ratios,
  • Number of beds
  • Number of car parking spaces
  • Number of basement floors
  • Number of floors
  • etc

Much of this was covered in our benchmarking series but what excites me about the capability of calculated metrics is that its applicability is limitless and will fit any industry using UniPhi. You can check out the video on how to do it here.
