Retail spaces use about $190 per square foot. Medical spaces use about $230 per square foot. Restaurant spaces use about $260 per square foot. Next, it adds a fixed amount for permits and plans. Low complexity adds $3,500. Mid complexity adds $9,000. High complexity adds $18,000. Finally, it applies your area cost multiplier. This adjusts the total for local market conditions.
