How Much Does an Assisted Living Facility Cost to Engineer?
Assisted living engineering typically costs $120,000 to $600,000+, depending on the units (40-150), the care, and the systems. Assisted living is the residential-care's middle: the apartments' (the Type B's — the accessible), the staffing (the 24-hour — the ratios'), and the dining (the commercial — the served). Expect engineering at 7-10% of construction.

Structural: the residential
The wood (the 3-4 story — the Type V's; the podium's), the units (the 400-800 sq ft — the apartments'; the Type B's), the corridors (the 6-8 foot — the assisted's; the handrails'), and the common (the dining's — the spans'; the commercial).
Care and life safety
The staffing (the 24-hour — the ratios'; the call's — the systems'), the egress (the defend-in-place — the compartments'; the 13R's), the elopement (the secured — the memory's; the delayed), and the licensing (the state's — the ALF's; the surveys').

The dining (the commercial — the served; the Type I's), the HVAC (the zoned — the units'; the common's), the backup (the generator's — the essential; the 96-hour's), and the wellness (the spa's — the amenities'). The assisted's — the home; the engineering's — the supportive.
The bottom line
Budget $120,000-$600,000+ for assisted living engineering (7-10% of construction) — Type B accessible units, 24-hour staffing/call systems, commercial dining, defend-in-place with 13R.
