How Much Does a Cheese Plant Cost to Engineer?
Cheese plant engineering typically costs $120,000 to $600,000+, depending on the lb (100,000-1,000,000+), the sq ft (30,000-80,000+), and the vats. Cheese plants are the process specialty: the 1,000,000 (the 100's — the lb's), the 80,000 (the 30's — the sq ft's), and the 12 (the 4's — the vats'). Expect engineering at 6-9% of construction.

Structural: the process
The 80,000 (the 30's — the sq ft's; the 1,000,000's), the 1,000,000 (the 100's — the lb's; the 80's), the 100,000 (the 1,000's — the 80's; the 30's), the 150 psf (the 100's — the vat's; the 1,000,000's), and the 80,000 (the 30's — the 150's; the 1,000,000's).
Process MEP
The 80,000 (the 30's — the 1,000,000's; the 100,000's), the 30,000 (the 80's — the 1,000,000's; the 12's), the 1,000,000 (the 100's — the 80's; the 30's), the 12 (the 4's — the vats'; the 1,000,000's), the 150 psf (the 100's — the 80's; the 30's), the 100% (the 72-hour's — the standby's; the 500kW's), and the 1,600-amp (the 80's — the 30's; the 1,000,000's).
Delivery
The 2-year (the design's — the 3's; the 1,000,000's), the 99% (the 1-year's — the operational; the 100,000's — the 1,000,000's), the 50-year (the 100,000's — the 100,000's; the built), and the 1,000,000 (the 100,000's — the 1,600's; the lb's). The vat's — the 150's psf; the engineering's — the 6-9%.
The bottom line
Budget $120,000-$600,000+ for cheese plant engineering (6-9% of construction) — 100,000-1,000,000 lb, 150 psf vat floors, 4-12 cheese vats, aging caves, 72-hour standby (500kW), 1,600-amp service.
