How Much Does a Border Station Cost to Engineer?
Border station engineering typically costs $300,000 to $1,500,000+, depending on the lanes (10-30+), the sq ft (50,000-200,000+), and the inspection. Border stations are the federal-secure specialty: the Risk IV (the 1.5x's — the Ie's), the 30-lane (the 10's — the 50's), and the 100% (the 72-hour's — the standby's). Expect engineering at 8-12% of construction.

Structural: the station
The Risk IV (the 1.5x's — the Ie's; the essential's), the 30-lane (the 10's — the 50's; the 100's — the booths'), the 100 psf (the 150's — the inspection's; the 75's — the offices'), and the 1.5x (the seismic's — the Ie's; the essential's).
Federal-secure MEP
The 30-lane (the 50's — the 10's; the 100%'s — the canopied), the 100% (the canopied's — the 30's; the 10's), the 100% (the 72-hour's — the standby's; the 2MW's), the 50 fc (the 100's — the inspection's; the 5000K's), the 10 (the 50's — the 30's; the lanes'), and the 1.5x (the Ie's — the Risk IV's; the essential's).
Delivery
The 4-year (the design's — the 6's; the federal), the 99% (the 2-year's — the operational; the 30's — the 50's), the 50-year (the federal's — the built; the maintained), and the 30 (the 10's — the 50's; the 100's). The station's — the 30-lane's 100%; the engineering's — the 8-12%.
The bottom line
Budget $300,000-$1,500,000+ for border station engineering (8-12% of construction) — Risk Cat IV essential (Ie 1.5), 10-50 inspection lanes 100% canopied, 50 fc inspection lighting, 72-hour standby.
