Question in Analyzing Site

Postby hllARE » Sun Apr 01, 2018 1:41 pm

Came across one of the flashcards of Archiflash-PPP. A client proposes construction of a vacation home on an undeveloped plot of land. What are the architect's principal concerns in analyzing this site?
I don't understand why one of the answers include "Land Values". Appreciate if anyone can explain.
Thanks in advance.

As I understand it, the analysis of a site comes during programming. The four areas of concern for programming are form, function, economy and time. Land value would fall into the full analysis of the economy of a project.

The value or cost of land would also be factored into the equation of the project budget. It does not say the client owns the land. They may come to you and say, I want a home for $1,000,000 all in but if the land cost $750,000 dollars, it would likely prove to be infeasible to complete the project at the $1,000,000 project budget the client has determined.

Hopefully that helps. Coach may have more input to further clarify.

Got it! that makes sense. We have to be aware of the budget calls out by client if land value is included.
Thank you.
