Methodology

Each city has an editorial $psf range per spec level. The estimator applies the chosen spec to your area and returns capex bands.

How to use it

  1. Pick a city and spec level — City sets the cost baseline; spec level (Standard, High, Premium) sets the per-sqft band.
  2. Enter the area — Provide net usable area in sqft or sqm. Loss factors are not applied here — fit-out is priced on usable space.
  3. Optionally adjust line items — Override defaults for AV/IT, branded zones, or specialty spaces such as labs and trading floors.
  4. Review low–high range — Get a banded budget across construction, MEP, FF&E, AV/IT, and consultants with totals in local currency and USD.
