Annex 12: Size and cost standard Size and Cost Standards for new build schools under the 21st Century Schools and Education Programme Size To ensure that funds are distributed fairly and that our schools offer a consistent standard across Wales, we advise that schools are designed according to the maximum of BB98 (secondary) and BB99 (primary). Table 1 below provides the minimum and maximum size ranges specified within each bulletin.

This will result in a maximum value for a school that can be benchmarked and inflated year on year to provide a maximum funding envelope. There are a number of different elements to this: Proposed standard price per m² Furniture, fitting and Equipment ICT 2.1 Cost per m² Using construction price indices, the cost per m² will be fixed at £1,400 m² from 2016 and increased with inflation to £1,554 in 2019 (this includes both standardised and bespoke builds). Inflation will be calculated on an annual basis in April using the BCIS all-in tender index.
