Description: Regression models for adjusted total costs (Y, millions of $HK) and average floor area (m^2), total floor area (m^2), average storey height (m) for 14 Reinforced Concrete (RC) and 23 steel buildings in Hong Kong. Authors fit regressions on first 7 RC abd first 12 steel buildings, using others for cross-validation. Variables/Columns Building ID (within type) 7-8 Building Type 16 /* 1=RC, 2=Steel */ Average floor area 18-24 Total Floor Area 26-32 Average storey height 36-40 Adjusted Construction Cost 42-48
