a.   Building Valuation Data or “BVD” published by the International Code Council utilizes the “average construction costs per square foot table” and is one of the factors used for determining permit cost in the City of Strongsville. The average construction cost per square foot table presents factors that reflect relative value of one construction classification/occupancy group to another so that more expensive construction is assessed greater permit fees than less expensive construction.
