21. CONSTRUCTION COST BUDGET ESTIMATE
Low High
Asbestos Abatement $ ,000 $ 12,000
Lead Based Paint Abatement , ,000
General construction , ,000
Plaster , ,000
Exterior windows and doors , ,000
Fire sprinkler system , ,000
SUBTOTAL $ 814,000 $1,077,000
Site 5% , ,850
General conditions, bonds, 8% , ,150
G.C./overhead & 17% , ,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.

22. 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 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.
