The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 14 figures, never sentences; 385 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per firm per LINE ITEM - build £/m2 by barn structure (steel portal, timber and brick, stone), architect fee basis, planning consultant fee, structural report, bat preliminary roost assessment and emergence survey, flood risk assessment, measured and topographical survey, the statutory application fee - with the published figure, whether VAT is included, the region and the date read. Across them the index computes the PRE-SPADE TOTAL: what a Class Q application costs before anyone knows whether it will be granted, which every build-cost guide omits and which, set against the flagship's per-authority approval rate, gives the figure this venture exists to publish - the EXPECTED cost of a Class Q consent in this authority, being the application cost divided by that authority's approval rate.", "embed": "
