Budget estimate

$50,000 – $150,000

The County’s estimated construction budget for the remodel is $5,801,157. Special inspection and materials testing services typically range from 0.8% to 2.5% of total construction cost, depending on project complexity, duration, and required testing frequency. Assuming a mid‑range rate of ~1.5%, the anticipated fee would be roughly $87,000. Smaller firms with streamlined processes might bid closer to $50,000, while larger firms offering extensive reporting and 24/7 support could command up to $150,000. Factors influencing the final amount include the number of inspections required, hourly rates for certified inspectors, travel costs, and any supplemental testing beyond the baseline scope.
