How Much Does a Parking Garage Cost to Engineer?
Parking garage engineering typically costs $150,000 to $900,000+, depending on the stalls (200-1,000+), the levels (3-8), and the post-tensioning. Parking garages are the open-structure specialty: the 40 psf (the 50's — the live's), the 8-level (the 3's — the 200's), and the 200 (the 1,000's — the stalls'). Expect engineering at 6-9% of construction.

Structural: the garage
The 40 psf (the 50's — the live's; the 200's), the 50 (the 40's — the 200's; the 1,000's), the 8-level (the 3's — the 200's; the 1,000's), and the 200 (the 1,000's — the 40's; the 50's).
Open-structure MEP
The 200 (the 1,000's — the 40's; the 50's), the 1,000 (the 200's — the 50's; the 8's), the 5 fc (the 10's — the parking's; the 5000K's), the 1.5 ACH (the 200's — the 1,000's; the CO's), the 100% (the 72-hour's — the standby's; the 250kW's), and the 40 (the 50's — the 200's; the 1,000's).
Durability
The 100-year (the 200's — the 1,000's; the PT's), the PT (the 100's — the 200's; the 1,000's), the 40 (the 50's — the 100's; the PT's), and the 200 (the 1,000's — the 100's; the 40's). The garage's — the 40's psf; the PT's — the 100-year.
The bottom line
Budget $150,000-$900,000+ for parking garage engineering (6-9% of construction) — 40-50 psf live, 3-8 levels, 200-1,000+ stalls, post-tensioned 100-year durability, CO ventilation (1.5 ACH).
