  • Costs directly attributable to getting it to the location and condition necessary for the building to be rented out or used properly

  • Any borrowing costs capitalised

What's not included

  • The value of the land that the building sits on is not included in the cost of buildings

  • Accumulated Depreciation - Should be recorded against a separate liability account and represents the total reduction in value of the building over its useful life
