Note: The range in cost differs due to the vast diversity in services strategies available. The lower end of the scale reflects all electric schemes (not always be possible due to Part L requirements) or local plant within apartment schemes, such as combi boilers, local ventilation etc. The high end of the scale is based on good quality apartments, which includes comfort cooling, sprinklers, home network installations, video entry, higher quality of sanitaryware and lighting.
