Four variables, which are in sequence specifying price index, building type, building height and building quality have been examined as a cost function variable. To these variables identified as price index, type index, height and quality index by utilizing historical data. The price index variable is time dependent, therefore, it was defined by setting up a building model and using labour and material cost in each year.
