Summary
Government levies, statutory fees, and infrastructure contributions account for a substantial percentage of total residential construction costs in new housing projects. From planning permits and developer contributions to state property taxes, mandatory official fees directly impact overall project viability and cash flow requirements. Landlords planning new builds or site redevelopments must incorporate comprehensive fee audits into their preliminary financial feasibility assessments.
Key Points
