I don't know if anyone would find this useful or not, but it is material that I am glad I stumbled upon via the book THE FRIGATE DIANA by David White.

"Randall and Brent's contract, in line with the practice of the day, was to supply the completed hull only, at a rate of £14 per ton."

Actual cost of the hull turned out to be £13,788.

"Eleven months after the building was started, on 3 March 1794, Diana was launched and towed the short distance downstream to the royal Dockyard at Deptford where she was to be fitted out."

Final cost for the rigging and stores added another £2675.

Additional cost for the guns (28 x 18 lbrs) and gunners stores, was £1000.
