Enter your project details to calculate cost per square foot, or enter a target cost per square foot to estimate total project cost.
| Building Type | Low Range | Mid Range | High Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residential (basic) | $120/sq ft | $175/sq ft | $250/sq ft |
| Residential (custom) | $200/sq ft | $325/sq ft | $500+/sq ft |
| Commercial Office | $200/sq ft | $300/sq ft | $450/sq ft |
| Retail Space | $150/sq ft | $250/sq ft | $400/sq ft |
| Industrial / Warehouse | $80/sq ft | $150/sq ft | $250/sq ft |
| Restaurant | $250/sq ft | $400/sq ft | $600/sq ft |
Average construction costs per square foot vary widely by project type. Residential new construction typically costs $150-$300/sq ft, commercial office space $200-$400/sq ft, and industrial buildings $100-$250/sq ft. Costs vary significantly by region, materials, and complexity.
Divide the total project cost by the total square footage. For example, a $300,000 project on a 2,000 sq ft space = $150 per square foot. Include all costs: materials, labor, overhead, and profit.
Cost per square foot varies based on location (labor rates, material transport), project complexity (custom vs standard), building type, finishes (basic vs high-end), and market conditions (material availability, labor demand).
