How Much Does a Consulate Cost to Engineer?
Consulate engineering typically costs $300,000 to $1,200,000+, depending on the sq ft (30,000-150,000+), the visa halls, and the hardening. Consulates are the public-hardened specialty: the Risk III (the 1.25x's — the Ie's), the 50-foot (the setback's — the 100's), and the 10 psi (the 15's — the blast's). Expect engineering at 8-12% of construction.

Structural: the consulate
The Risk III (the 1.25x's — the Ie's; the 300's — the occupant), the 50-foot (the 100's — the setback's; the 50's — the foot), the 10 psi (the 15's — the blast's; the 3's), and the 1.25x (the seismic's — the Ie's; the 300's).
Public-hardened MEP
The 10 psi (the 3's — the 15's; the blast's), the 50-foot (the 100's — the 50's; the setback's), the 100% (the 72-hour's — the standby's; the 1MW's), the 6 ACH (the 10's — the visa's; the 4's — the offices'), the 500 (the daily's — the visa's; the 1,000's), and the 1.25x (the Ie's — the Risk III's; the 300's).
Delivery
The 3-year (the design's — the 4's; the phased), the 95% (the 1-year's — the operational; the 500's — the 1,000's), the 50-year (the civic's — the built; the maintained), and the 50 (the 100's — the 10's; the setback's). The consulate's — the 10 psi's blast; the engineering's — the 8-12%.
The bottom line
Budget $300,000-$1,200,000+ for consulate engineering (8-12% of construction) — Risk Cat III (Ie 1.25), 50-ft setback, 10 psi blast hardening, 500-1,000 daily visa throughput, 72-hour standby.
