My question is: A quantity surveyor is figuring the construction costs for a couple that wishes to build a house. The costs are as follows: land costs $50 per square meter, bricks cost $100 per 1000 bricks and roof tiles cost $10 per roof tile. If the house they wish to build requires 2000 square meters, 10000 bricks, and 500 roof tiles, how much construction costs are required for this project? Your thoughts:
The cost required for buying land is $50 / sq m * 2000 sq m = $100000. The cost required for buying bricks is $100 / 1000 bricks * 10000 bricks = $1000. The cost required for buying roof tiles is $10 / tile * 500 tiles = $5000. The total construction cost is $100000 + $1000 + $5000 = $106000. The final answer: 106000.
