How Much Does a 911 Dispatch Center Cost to Engineer?
911 dispatch center engineering typically costs $200,000 to $800,000+, depending on the positions (10-40), the sq ft (5,000-15,000+), and the redundancy. Dispatch centers are the essential-communications specialty: the Risk IV (the 1.5x's — the Ie's), the 100% (the 72-hour's — the standby's), and the 40 (the 10's — the positions'). Expect engineering at 7-10% of construction.

Structural: the center
The Risk IV (the 1.5x's — the Ie's; the 300's — the essential), the 1.5x (the seismic's — the Ie's; the 300's), the 40 (the 10's — the positions'; the 15's), and the 1.5x (the Ie's — the Risk IV's; the 300's).
Essential-communications MEP
The 40 (the 10's — the positions'; the 15's), the 10 (the 40's — the 15's; the 5's), the 100% (the 72-hour's — the standby's; the 500kW's), the 72-hour (the 100's — the 500's; the 40's), the N+1 (the 40's — the 10's; the 100's), and the 1.5x (the Ie's — the Risk IV's; the 300's).
Delivery
The 2-year (the design's — the 4's; the 40's), the 99% (the 1-year's — the operational; the 10's — the 40's), the 100-year (the civic's — the built; the essential), and the 40 (the 10's — the 15's; the positions'). The center's — the Risk IV's 1.5x; the engineering's — the 7-10%.
The bottom line
Budget $200,000-$800,000+ for 911 dispatch center engineering (7-10% of construction) — Risk Cat IV essential (Ie 1.5), 10-40 positions, N+1 redundancy, 72-hour 100% standby (500kW).
