Engineering Cost Guide in Madison

Straight answers on what engineering really costs.

MEP engineering

  • University research-lab MEP: fume-hood exhaust, vivarium systems, and high-ventilation lab buildings
  • Health-tech office with dense cooling, redundant power, and raised-floor air
  • Heating-dominated design for deep-winter performance with heat-recovery and tight envelopes
  • State office buildings with high-performance systems and security-driven design
  • Wisconsin energy-code compliance with dedicated outdoor-air strategies for labs and offices
  • Isthmus humidity and lake-effect moisture influencing ventilation and dehumidification design

Structural engineering

  • 48-inch frost-depth foundations standard across the metro
  • Glacial till and outwash soils of the isthmus: variable bearing with perched groundwater
  • High water table between the lakes: dewatering, buoyancy, and waterproofing for below-grade structures
  • Downtown height limits (Capitol view preservation) pushing creative structural solutions for density
  • Long-span lab and research structures with vibration control for sensitive equipment
  • Lake-effect snow with drift design on exposed isthmus sites

Civil engineering

  • Yahara lakes watershed: Dane County and City of Madison's strict phosphorus and thermal stormwater standards
  • Wellhead-protection zones across the isthmus limiting infiltration in sensitive areas
  • Isthmus flooding and high groundwater: stormwater detention with buoyancy-aware underground systems
  • WDNR NR 151/NR 216 compliance with treatment for lake discharges
  • Shoreline permitting on Lakes Mendota, Monona, and Wingra
  • Capitol-area right-of-way and historic-district coordination downtown
