6. Krzysztof Zima, Edyta Plebankiewicz:

Analysis of the building shape erected in Krakow and its impact on construction costs

Abstract:

The choice of a particular architectural solution when designing a building considerably influences the costs of its construction. The article presents the methods of evaluating the degree of complexity of the building shape. On the basis of factors specifying building shape complexity an analysis of multi-family buildings in Krakow was conducted. The analysis concerned 40 buildings constructed by developers who received their building permit in the years 2004-2005, and – for comparison – 30 buildings whose building permit was issued in the second half of the year 2010. The study also included the way the grounds were used for the analysed constructions. The result of the research revealed a slow growth in the use of plots for building investments in Krakow.
