The expenditure incurred by the OPW on the National Children’s Science Centre at the Earlsfort Terrace Complex amounts to €1,584,880.
The costs incurred are broken down as follows;
| Surveys, Site Investigation & Opening up works | € 476,275 |
|---|---|
| Legal costs from Arbitration, not including final costs on 2021 arbitration (Yet to be determined) | € 255,252 |
| Consultants - Civil & Structural Engineers, M&E Engineers, Quantity Surveyors etc. | € 620,196 |
| Statutory Applications- Planning Applications, Appeals, Fire Safety Cert applications, Disability Access certs and associated costs | € 233,157 |
| Total | € 1,584,880 |
The projected final cost of the project is not finalised as planning conditions are still being assessed and they will also be subject to the outcome of a tender process.
