The study identified several options that could reduce the base construction cost of this project.
Submitted for consideration are the Consortium’s four Value Engineered options and alternative design along with Calatrava’s component variation proposal.
The State of Qatar would likely need to finance the project, which depending on the option selected would cost likely between QR32Billion and QR68 Billion.
Once guidance is received on the selected option/s, a detailed cost analysis by an independent cost consultant will need to be commissioned to provide an overall project cost by validating the construction cost estimate and confirm the soft cost provision.
