A023 Water system cost

A cost model for plumbing and drainage systems

Brief:

The construction cost, yearly maintenance cost and yearly remedial cost of plumbing and drainage systems in 63 buildings were correlated with building occupancy, age, piping material, pipe length and the size of the systems. Length, material and size of the pipes provide good parameters to determine the system construction costs. Higher maintenance cost and remedial cost would be associated with aged systems.
