Novogradac provides services to state agencies to help identify strategies to contain affordable housing construction costs. Services include analysis of trends, comparison of various categories and contrasting low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) properties with market-rate housing.

• trend analysis of cost components such as land, building, site work, architect fee and developer fee.
• comparison of various categories such as geographic location, housing type, development size and unit type.
• comparison of low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) construction costs to other states and/or market rate housing.
• evaluation of how qualified allocation plan (QAP) policies relate to construction costs.
• and more.
