The average commercial construction cost per square foot can vary significantly depending on various factors such as the location of the building, the complexity of the project, materials that are used, and the specific type of commercial building. It’s important to note that construction costs can also change over time due to market conditions, labor costs, and material prices so make sure to speak with your local contractors and get a few estimates before appointing one team to the project.
