Project Specifications and Comparisons

The scope of work is strictly defined as a new convenience store. The total square footage of 5,291 sq ft is smaller than the median size of 9,000 sq ft for new construction filings in Williamson County. However, the estimated cost of $1,500,000 is above the county median of $850,000 for similar projects. The cost per square foot of $284 is also above the county median of $109 per square foot. These figures place the project in the higher cost range for new commercial construction in the area.

MODE Design Company has registered six other projects in Texas, totaling over $22 million in estimated value. These include developments in Liberty Hill, Georgetown, and Round Rock.
