School Construction & Municipal Building FAQs

How much does school construction cost in Georgia?

School construction costs vary significantly based on building type, size, and features. Elementary school construction typically costs $250-$350 per square foot, while high schools with specialized facilities (gymnasiums, science labs, athletic fields) cost $300-$400+ per square foot.

What is the school construction cost per square foot?

School construction costs per square foot in Georgia generally range from $250 to $400, depending on the type of educational facility. Elementary school construction tends toward the lower end ($250-$300/sf), while high schools with comprehensive athletic facilities and specialized labs cost more ($300-$400/sf). K-12 construction costs have increased in recent years due to enhanced security features, technology infrastructure, and HVAC upgrades for improved air quality.

How long does school construction take?

Most K-12 school construction projects take 12-24 months from groundbreaking to completion. Elementary school construction typically takes 12-16 months, while larger high school construction projects with athletic facilities take 18-24 months. Timeline factors include:

  • Building size and complexity
  • Site work requirements
  • Weather and seasonal delays
  • Permit approval processes
  • Specialized systems installation

Our school construction contractors work to schedule substantial completion before the new academic year, allowing time for furniture installation, technology setup, and staff training.
