Budget Estimate (AI):

$6,000,000 – $12,000,000

The estimated budget for this opportunity can be based on the estimated construction cost of $120,000,000. Assuming a typical architectural design fee range of 5-10% of the construction cost, the estimated budget for design services could be between $6,000,000 and $12,000,000. However, this is a rough estimate and the actual budget may vary depending on the scope of services, the complexity of the project, and the experience of the design team.
