# Retail Construction Cost Planning: Bukit Rahman Putra, Malaysia

> Bukit Rahman Putra retail cost planning using the World Bank ICP 2021 national construction price-level index of 44.5, plus a GeoNames-based local comparable-search shortlist.

- Data source: National screening observation from the [World Bank ICP 2021 API](https://api.worldbank.org/v2/sources/90/country/MYS/classification/PX.WL/series/1501200/time/YR2021/data?format=json) and [ICP data documentation](https://www.worldbank.org/en/programs/icp/data); locality and population from the [GeoNames MY dump](https://download.geonames.org/export/dump/MY.zip) (CC BY 4.0 snapshot 2026-08-26, GeoNames ID 13118225). The PLI is not a city cost/m² rate, current escalation series or tender estimate.

## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| National construction PLI | 44.5 (World Bank ICP 2021; World = 100) |
| Screening ratio to world | 0.445 (dimensionless PLI ÷ 100; not a city location factor) |
| Locality reference | 3.2173, 101.5608 (GeoNames ID 13118225) |
| Snapshot population | 607,000 (8 of 50 listed Malaysia places) |
| Nearest listed peer | Sungai Buloh · 1 km (great-circle distance between GeoNames reference points) |
| Estimate currency | MYR (obtain a current local rate and named base date) |

## Direct answer

For early retail construction cost planning in Bukit Rahman Putra, the World Bank ICP reports a 2021 Malaysia construction price-level index of 44.5, with the world equal to 100. This is a national comparison—not a Bukit Rahman Putra MYR/m² rate or tender estimate—so replace it with current local evidence before budgeting or procurement. The observation covers construction across Malaysia in 2021; it does not measure a Bukit Rahman Putra market basket or current retail tenders. GeoNames 13118225 records the locality at 3.2173, 101.5608, with snapshot population 607,000. That ranks Bukit Rahman Putra 8 of 50 listed places, while Sungai Buloh is the nearest listed peer at about 1 km. Use these facts only to plan the comparable search. Obtain current local rates on a consistent area basis, then reconcile scope, taxes, fees, contingency and escalation. Retain the source, base date and reviewer when local evidence replaces the screening ratio.

## What does the 44.5 construction index mean?

The World Bank ICP 2021 construction PLI for **Malaysia is 44.5**, compared with a world benchmark of 100. It is a national spatial price comparison assembled for the 2021 reference year. It does not say that retail work in Bukit Rahman Putra costs 0.445 times a current world rate.

## Which Bukit Rahman Putra inputs are known?

The reproducible locality point is **3.2173, 101.5608** (GeoNames 13118225). Its snapshot population is **607,000**, ranked 8 of 50 listed places; GeoNames classifies it as a populated place in administrative area 12. These facts shape the local comparable search, not the price.

## What must a project estimate add?

For a Bukit Rahman Putra retail project, reconcile shell condition, tenant fit-out, servicing, trading constraints and landlord works. Use a consistent gross-floor-area basis and record the following before reliance.

| Estimate field | Screening record | Project requirement |
| --- | --- | --- |
| National context | ICP 2021 PLI 44.5 | Retain only as dated cross-country context |
| Local MYR/m² rate | Not supplied | Current comparable with named source and base date |
| Area and scope | Gross floor area; scope unresolved | Measurement standard, specification and procurement route |
| Additions | Not supplied | Taxes, fees, site work, contingency and escalation |
| Review | Automated source and arithmetic QA | Qualified local cost review |

## Price-level normalization worksheet

For a validated reference rate **R** from a country with construction PLI **P**, the transparent screening calculation is **R × (44.5 ÷ P)**. At P = 100 the dimensionless ratio is 0.445; no world cost rate is asserted. Keep the reference rate's currency, base date, area basis and scope attached.

| Input | Recorded value | Release condition |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Target national PLI | 44.5 (World = 100, 2021) | Screening context only |
| Reference construction PLI P | User-supplied from the same ICP classification/year | Must match reference rate country |
| Validated reference rate R | User-supplied | Named source, currency, date, area and scope |
| Local Bukit Rahman Putra adjustment | Not asserted | Replace with current local comparable evidence |
| Result status | Screening normalization | Not a budget, quote or tender estimate |

## Sources and method

National screening observation from the [World Bank ICP 2021 API](https://api.worldbank.org/v2/sources/90/country/MYS/classification/PX.WL/series/1501200/time/YR2021/data?format=json) and [ICP data documentation](https://www.worldbank.org/en/programs/icp/data); locality and population from the [GeoNames MY dump](https://download.geonames.org/export/dump/MY.zip) (CC BY 4.0 snapshot 2026-08-26, GeoNames ID 13118225). The PLI is not a city cost/m² rate, current escalation series or tender estimate.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does the 44.5 index give a retail cost per m² for Bukit Rahman Putra?

No. 44.5 is the World Bank ICP 2021 national construction price-level index for Malaysia, with the world equal to 100. It is a cross-country screening statistic, not a Bukit Rahman Putra MYR/m² rate, escalation index, quote or tender estimate.

### How should a Bukit Rahman Putra retail estimate replace this screening benchmark?

Collect current Bukit Rahman Putra comparables on a consistent gross-floor-area basis, reconcile shell condition, tenant fit-out, servicing, trading constraints and landlord works, and state base date, currency, taxes, fees, site work, contingency and escalation. A qualified local cost professional should review the resulting project estimate.
