Appendix E. Cost Estimating

The cost data provided in Appendix E were developed in 2006 for the First 
Edition of FEMA 550 for select communities along the Gulf of Mexico. The 
applicability or accuracy of the data to other coastal areas has not been 
investigated. Although relative costs between foundation systems may apply in 
other coastal regions, users of the manual should verify current actual costs 
for any given location.
