CONSTRUCTION COST BUDGET ESTIMATE Low High Asbestos Abatement $ 9,000 $ 12,000 Lead Based Paint Abatement 45,000 55,000 General construction 600,000 750,000 Plaster 100,000 150,000 Exterior windows and doors 100,000 125,000 Fire sprinkler system 60,000 70,000 SUBTOTAL $ 814,000 $1,077,000 Site components @ 5% 40,700 53,850 General conditions, bonds, etc. @ 8% 65,100 86,150 G.C./overhead & profit @ 17% 138,400 183,000 TOTAL $1,058,200 $1,400,000 The above assumes a residential use for the upper two floors, which will not require an elevator. If a commercial use is decided upon for those upper floors, then an elevator and second exit will be required. That will likely add $200,000 or more to the above totals. The above estimate is intended to provide an order of magnitude scope. For planning purposes, assume an estimate error of 7.5% above or below the listed assumptions. Based on the above methodology, the Stout-MacDonald House restoration should have an order of magnitude construction cost of $1,000,000 to $1,500,000. Adding soft costs to the above provides an order of magnitude total project cost of $1,120,000 to $1,680,000.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Update the National Register Nomination Form and any related site files to reflect additional historic data and the original construction date of 1903 as contained in this report. 2. Comply with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. 3. Restore the building configuration to its historic period of concern appearance, i.e., ca. 1903 to 1940 and recognize the early historic significance by naming the resource the Stout-MacDonald House. 4. Submit this report to the State of Florida, Division of Historical Resources, for a courtesy review. 5. Establish final uses for the building. This report recommends a mixed use occupancy consisting of the Museum of Ormond Beach History on the ground floor and two residential apartments on the upper floors. 6. Establish an action plan and schedule for rehabilitation of the Stout-Macdonald House. 7. Begin the application process for grant funding. Applications should be made to the State of Florida, DHR, for a Special Category Grant and to Volusia County for an Echo Grant. 8. Relocate the tennis pro shop and reconfigure the tennis court fencing to allow the central park to have unimpeded public access at its north and south ends. Locating the tennis pro shop at its south end will encourage use of the south parking lot for tennis players, which will free up the north lot for museum use and commercial use of shops along Granada. A site diagram of these synergies is included in the report and this presentation.
