Section 41 of 104
39. Initial Cost, Performance and Affordability Targets
Stable section ID: S05-CON-016-SECTION-41 · 29 content blocks
The Initial System05 implementation shall establish measurable cost, performance, and affordability targets.
Cost evaluation shall distinguish:
material cost;
manufacturing cost;
tooling and capital cost;
transportation;
assembly labor;
engineering and approval;
inspection and commissioning;
operation and maintenance;
repair and replacement;
end-of-life value;
research and prototype expenses.
Prototype cost shall not be represented as mature production cost, and anticipated scale savings shall not be represented as achieved savings.
The first affordability benchmark should evaluate a basic residential configuration of approximately 36 square meters.
An initial program objective may target a direct construction cost near USD 15,000 in 2026 value and a possible delivered-market target near USD 35,000, provided that land, utilities, foundation conditions, permits, professional services, taxes, financing, transportation, and other inclusions or exclusions are explicitly declared.
These figures are engineering and market objectives rather than guarantees or automatic Conformance criteria.
Performance targets shall also address:
structural safety;
durability;
fire and environmental performance;
assembly time;
inspection accessibility;
energy and operational performance;
repair and replacement time;
manufacturing yield;
lifecycle cost;
future expansion and reuse.
Affordability shall not be achieved by transferring hidden cost or unacceptable Risk to occupants, workers, local governments, future owners, or the environment.
