How To Estimate Commercial Building Construction Costs?

Not all types of commercial construction are created equal, as the costs of building vary from one location to another. For instance, the square foot costs for commercial construction in the United States can change depending on the city – for example, New York would be several times higher than a project in Detroit or Atlanta.

Commercial Construction Cost Per Square Foot

The location of commercial electrical installation affects the cost of the project. The median construction cost ranges from $380 per square foot for small installations. Prices can go up to $480 per square foot for a big city. Below is a table showing the construction cost ranges of different commercial buildings.

BUILDING TYPE	COST PER SQUARE FOOT
Single story office	$311-$377
Mid-Rise Office	$650-$750
High-rise Office	$698-$838
Neighbourhood Stipe Mall	$320-$380
Regional Mall	$460-$1572
Three Star Hotel	$498-$618
Recreation/ Gymnasiums	$367-$693

Building Quality

Commercial buildings have different quality elements that influence the cost. The type of wall and roofing, for instance, would determine whether a building falls under class A, B or C. Average commercial construction costs would also depend on the quality of infrastructure laid in them.
Design & Architecture

Shape classifications also affect the overall cost of commercial building construction. Reduction in floor area and outside wall area, for instance, reduces the construction cost per square meter. A high rise building would cost more than a single story office building, for example. The simplistic design of a convenience store, on the other hand, would mean that it’s less expensive to construct than a bank tower. The more complex an architectural design is, the higher the commercial construction per square foot cost. That’s because you need more general contractors and materials to bring the project to completion.
Labor

Building projects outside metropolitan areas can result in cost savings from anywhere between 2% to 6% than those in the heart of the city. The cost per square foot varies because of cheaper labor and associated factors. On the other hand, construction done in adverse weather conditions or after a flood or hurricane can temporarily increase types of construction costs by 25% to 50%.
Construction materials

Expenses here include the costs of the materials, taxes and shipping charges. Construction materials include bulk materials, standard off the shelf materials, and fabricated members. In the construction industry, it’s commonly understood that skyscrapers have high commercial construction costs per sq ft because of the amount of materials that they require. Because they’re commonly steel buildings with expensive aesthetics, the costs can go up even more if their complexity increases.
Permits

Calculations for new commercial building construction costs should also factor in permit fees. The cost of permits depends on the location of the construction project and the type of work to be undertaken on site. Permits are often calculated using local fee schedules.
Mechanical systems (HVAC)

Every building owner wants enhanced comfort and efficiency on their property. In commercial properties, for instance, mechanical systems are a must-have, including air conditioning, heating, and cooling, plumbing and energy elevator fixtures. Involving mechanical and electrical contractors early on in the design stage can help to minimize errors and promote cost effective practices.
Electrical systems

Electrical installations in a commercial building must meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code. Compliance with NEC stipulations doesn’t, however, lead to automatic energy efficiency. Expert design insights are needed at an early stage to achieve energy efficiency and reduce commercial construction building costs.
Delivery

Bulk materials such as gravel entail high delivery costs which can drive up the overall project estimate. Other materials such as piping and valves fall under standard off-the-shelf materials, which means the delivery process isn’t too complex or pricey. The cost of fabricated materials, on the other hand, would depend on whether they are fully or partially fabricated before shipping. So when it comes to estimating construction costs for commercial buildings, you must take into account delivery factors too.
