Project Scope and Cost Context

The scope involves an interior remodel of the existing office space on the third floor, specifically Suite 30. The estimated cost of $1,500,000 places this project above the median estimated cost for renovation and alteration filings in Travis County, which stands at $299,550. The cost per square foot is calculated at $138, which is above the county median of $103 per square foot for similar projects.

In terms of scale, the 10,875 sq ft size is significantly larger than the median size of 3,800 sq ft for renovation and alteration filings in the county. The scheduled build window of 105 days is close to the county median of 98 days for similar construction types. DRS Architects & Planners, PC has six other TDLR-registered projects, totaling $5,792,498, including locations in Austin and Pflugerville.

TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection for this project, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The status remains Review Complete, but the lack of a final inspection record means the physical completion of the interior remodel is not verified in the accessibility filing system. City of Austin permit records show 15 permits on file at this street address, issued between May 2025 and August 2026, including electrical, building, plumbing, and mechanical permits.
