It is very important to separate the shell costs from the finishes costs when working with appropriate construction technologies.

The system separates each particular item giving a sub-total within each sheet and general totals at the end of the system.

1 Shell
This section comprises the principal parts of the construction: foundations, structure, floors, roofs and walls. The most important economies can be achieved on these construction components, specially when local materials are used.
