How Much Does a Sheriff's Office Cost to Engineer?

Sheriff's office engineering typically costs $150,000 to $600,000+, depending on the sq ft (10,000-30,000+), the holding cells, and the evidence storage. Sheriff's offices are the secure-civic specialty: the Risk III (the 1.25x's — the Ie's), the I-3 (the holding's — the cells'), and the 100% (the 72-hour's — the standby's). Expect engineering at 7-10% of construction.

Structural: the office

The Risk III (the 1.25x's — the Ie's; the 300's — the occupant), the 1.25x (the seismic's — the Ie's; the 300's), the I-3 (the holding's — the cells'; the 100's), and the 1.25x (the Ie's — the Risk III's; the 300's).

Secure MEP

The I-3 (the 100's — the holding's; the 6's), the 6 ACH (the 100's — the cells'; the 4's), the 100% (the 72-hour's — the standby's; the 300kW's), the 72-hour (the 100's — the 300's; the evidence's), the 20°F (the 70's — the evidence's; the 50's), and the 1.25x (the Ie's — the Risk III's; the 300's).

Delivery

The 2-year (the design's — the 4's; the 100's), the 99% (the 1-year's — the operational; the 10's — the 30's), the 100-year (the civic's — the built; the secure), and the 100 (the 6's — the I-3's; the holding's). The office's — the Risk III's 1.25x; the engineering's — the 7-10%.

The bottom line

Budget $150,000-$600,000+ for sheriff's office engineering (7-10% of construction) — Risk Cat III (Ie 1.25), I-3 holding cells (6 ACH), evidence storage climate (70°F/50% RH), 72-hour standby (300kW).
