Occupancy Description Attached Garage A building for the storage of cars, trucks, or other light vehicles, that is connected to another building or structure, such as a residential dwelling, and constructed to a similar construction standard as residential buildings and structures. An attached garage is connected to the adjoining building or structure along one or two walls, with the common wall being a structural component of the adjoining building. The construction quality of an attached garage is generally equivalent to the building or structure to which it is attached. Common sizes provide for the storage of one or two vehicles, with one overhead door or the equivalent for each vehicle space, and one or two pedestrian entry doors, of which one may be a direct entry into the adjoining building or structure. Detached Garage A free standing building for the storage of cars, trucks, or other light vehicles, that is constructed to a similar construction standard as residential buildings and structures. A detached garage may have other buildings or structures attached to it, such as a breezeway, carport, or lean-to shed, with the common wall being a structural component of the detached garage. Common sizes provide for the storage of one or two vehicles, with one overhead door or the equivalent for each vehicle space, and one or two pedestrian entry doors. Variations Built-In Garage An attached garage integrated into the lower level of a multi-level building or structure, such as a residential dwelling, and connected along one or two walls with the multi-level building or structure. Both the common walls and the ceiling of a built-in garage are structural components of the multi-level building with which it is integrated. When calculating the replacement cost new of a built-in garage, remove the value of the roof for that portion of the built-in garage that is located under the multi-level building or structure. When calculating the replacement cost new of the multi-level building or structure, remove the value of the foundation for that portion of the multi-level building or structure that is located over the built-in garage. Basement Garage Garages that are integrated into the structural components of a basement, with no portion of the garage extending from the basement. Basement garages are valued as an additional feature in accordance with the calculation procedures in No. 5.10.

Two-Storey Garage (2STYFUL; HPITCHED) A detached garage with a second or upper storey with living area above the garage. When calculating the replacement cost new of a two-storey garage with living area above the garage use the following type variations instead of the detached garage wall height adjustment:

• for living area with full exterior walls use 165% of the detached garage structure rate (2STYFUL), and

• for living area with a high-pitched roof use 135% of the detached garage structure rate (HPITCHED).

Finished Rooms in Garages Garage rooms in an attached or detached garage, or above a detached garage, with interior finish that is similar to the residential dwelling standards for basement rooms should be valued in accordance with the valuation procedures in No. 5.11. The floor area of a finished room in a garage is measured to the inside finished surface of the exterior walls. Missing Wall When calculating the replacement cost new of a detached garage, shed or lean-to that is attached to another building or structure:

• determine the percentage of the perimeter of the building that is missing; and • calculate the missing wall factor using the formula:

1 - ((percent missing ÷ 100) x 0.50)

Loft A loft floor may be used in conjunction with a detached garage. Value in accordance with the valuation procedures in No. 6.13. Wall Height The standard wall height for attached and detached garages is 8 feet. An adjustments for wall heights greater or less than 8 feet is made by application of the wall height adjustment factor. The garage wall height adjustment is determined by calculating the height from the top of the floor to the top of the exterior wall in a one storey structure. For unusual or high pitched roofs, the effective wall height may be calculated by dividing the cubic interior area of the building by the floor area.

Date: 01/2011 SAMA’s 2011 Cost Guide (Non-Regulated) Page: 1

Occupancy Description A roofed shelter for cars, trucks, or other light vehicles that is constructed to a similar construction standard as residential buildings and structures. Carport rates include floor and roof structure costs. The structural support for a carport roof is provided by posts, or the roof may be connected to and partially supported by an adjoining building or structure along one or two sides. Generally the walls of a carport are not enclosed. Walls may be partially enclosed with light panels to protect the interior from the weather. Walls that enclose or partially enclose a carport do not provide structural support for the roof. Classification Guidelines

Quality Description Factor A This class of carport may be partially enclosed with a

small shed or other similar exterior wall finish. Reinforced concrete grade beam on spreadbore piles. Post and beam construction supporting gable roof - asphalt shingles. Plywood finish on ceiling - fascia and eave construction to match the residence. May have 3" to 4" concrete floor over adequate gravel base. May have electrical service.

1.35

B This class of carport will usually have open sides. Reinforced concrete grade beam. Post and beam construction supporting gable or slant roof - asphalt shingles. Will usually display fascia and eave that match building to which it is attached. Normally no ceiling finish will be present. May have 3" to 4" concrete floor over adequate gravel base. No electrical service.

1.00

C This quality of carport will normally be wide open showing slightly inferior workmanship than the B class carport. Generally owner built and attached to the residence or garage. Slab perimeter footing or small piles under support column. Post and beam construction supporting gable or slant roof - asphalt shingles or equivalent. Open ceiling, plywood fascia, 12" to 18" eaves. May have 3" to 4" concrete floor over gravel base. No electrical service.

0.92

D This type of carport shows very cheap construction and may be free standing. Light slab perimeter footing or small piles under support columns. Post and beam construction supporting lean-to type roof or flat roof. Cheap asphalt shingles, roll roofing or equivalent. Open ceiling, small eaves, no fascia finish.

Date: 01/2011 SAMA’s 2011 Cost Guide (Non-Regulated) Page: 1

Occupancy Description Porch A roofed structure attached to the exterior of a building or structure that shelters an entry into the building or structure. Generally porches are not heated and contain a doorway to the outside and a doorway into the building or structure. Closed Verandah An extension attached along the exterior of a building or structure of sufficient size to provide both a sheltered entry to the building or structure, and to accommodate some leisure activities. The structural components of a closed verandah include a roof, foundation, floors, and walls. The lower half of the walls are typically wood frame or masonry construction, and the upper portion is framed windows or screens. Generally closed verandahs are not heated. Variations Heated Entry or Addition A heated entry or addition constructed to a comparable standard and integrated into a building or structure, should be included as part of the building or structure and should not be classified as a porch or closed verandah. Second Storey Porch or Closed Verandah A second storey porch or closed verandah is a roofed structure attached to the exterior of the upper level of a multi-level building or structure. When calculating the replacement cost new of a second storey porch or closed verandah:

do not remove the value of the roof structure from the supporting building or structure;

apply a shared structural components factor of 0.60 to the second storey porch or closed verandah; and

remove the value of the roof structure from the second storey porch or closed verandah in accordance with the missing roof adjustment procedures in No. 4.8.

This calculation accounts for the replacement cost new of the upper storey of the Second Storey Porch or Closed Verandah. The replacement cost new of the lower area must be accounted for by the assessment of the supporting building or structure.

Residential Outbuildings Open Verandah 6.7

Date: 01/2011 SAMA’s 2011 Cost Guide (Non-Regulated) Page: 1

Occupancy Description An open verandah is an extension attached along the exterior of a building or structure of sufficient size to provide both a sheltered entry to the building or structure, and to accommodate some leisure activities. The structural components of an open verandah include a roof, foundation, floors, and railings. Typically there are wood railings instead of wood framed walls. Variations Second Storey Open Verandah A second storey open verandah is a roofed structure attached to the exterior of the upper level of a multi-level building or structure. When calculating the replacement cost new of a second storey open verandah:

• do not remove the value of the roof structure from the supporting building or structure; • apply a shared structural components factor of 0.60 to the second storey open

verandah; and • remove the value of the roof structure from the second storey open verandah in

accordance with the missing roof adjustment procedures in No. 4.8. This calculation accounts for the replacement cost new of the upper storey of the Second Storey Open Verandah. The replacement cost new of the lower area must be accounted for by the assessment of the supporting building or structure. Classification Guidelines
