Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Question about sharing common construction costs

[David L. Mandel (dlmandel]

Proportionately by unit cost, I guess, though it wasn't calculated separately, 
it was built into the price of each unit.

If you were a part of developing a new cohousing community that involved new 
development and construction, how did you split up the common costs? The third 
neighborhood at Ecovillage Ithaca (TREE) wants to know. The first two 
neighborhoods used two different methods and some people were not happy with 
their outcome. Did you split all common costs equally per unit? Proportionally 
by unit price or square footage, or some combination? What was your rationale 
and how satisfied is your community with the results?
