Cost Breakdown
A retail buildout in 2026 typically costs between $25,000 and $120,000 for a space between 800 and 2,500 sq ft. The final number depends on five key factors: plumbing additions, HVAC modifications, electrical panel upgrades, permit complexity, and finish level.
Prestige 360 provides fixed-price quotes, not vague estimates. Every line item is documented. Every cost is approved before construction starts. That is how we have completed 80+ projects with zero cost surprise disputes.
Plumbing additions, HVAC modifications, electrical panel upgrades, permit complexity, and finish level. Understanding these five factors is the difference between a $25K and a $120K project.
Your landlord's Tenant Improvement Allowance directly affects your out-of-pocket cost. We help you understand, negotiate, and maximize your TIA before signing the lease.
Permit fees ($2K-$8K), architect drawings ($3K-$10K), FF&E, signage ($3K-$15K), POS and technology ($2K-$8K), and soft opening costs ($3K-$10K). Most quotes exclude these.
How It Works
Know your space size, condition, and finish level before asking for bids. We help with this.
Ask for a line-item breakdown, not a lump sum. Compare what is and is not included.
The most important question: what is NOT included? Permits, FF&E, signage, technology?
Confirm your contractor has retail experience specifically. Commercial and retail are different.
A cheaper bid with a longer timeline costs more in lost revenue. Compare total cost of delay.
