How Much Does a Mixed-Use Building Cost to Engineer?
Mixed-use engineering typically costs $300,000 to $2,000,000+, depending on the GSF (50,000-500,000+), the uses, and the podium. Mixed-use is the vertical complexity's specialty: the transfer (the residential's — the retail's; the grids'), the separations (the occupancies' — the rated; the 2-hour), and the MEP's (the zoned — the metered). Expect engineering at 7-10% of construction.

Structural: the podium
The transfer (the grids' — the discontinuity; the deep beams'), the separations (the 2-3 hour — the horizontal; the occupancies'), the parking (the below's — the excavation; the ramps'), and the residential (the wood's — the podium's; the Type III's).
The uses' systems
The retail (the grease — the interceptors'; the signage's), the residential (the units' — the repetitive; the acoustic's — the IIC), the office (the floors' — the open; the HVAC's — the VAV), and the metering (the submetered — the utilities'; the separated).
Code and delivery
The separations (the IBC's — the 508's; the non-separated's — the restrictive), the egress (the mixed — the calculated; the shared's), the podium (the special — the inspection's), and the phasing (the retail's — the early; the residential's). The mixed-use's — the city's block; the engineering's — the integrated.
The bottom line
Budget $300,000-$2,000,000+ for mixed-use engineering (7-10% of construction) — podium transfers, 2-3 hour occupancy separations, separately metered MEP systems.
