Cost Estimating for Museum & Cultural Facilities
Our Cost Estimators know museums. We’ve provided hundreds of cost estimates for projects at more than 50 museums, including the Smithsonian Institution, the National Gallery of Art, and The Franklin Institute. Our estimates draw upon our deep experience with the construction market and the types of specialized systems involved in museum design. Below is a partial listing of our Museum & Cultural projects.
Edelman Fossil Park
Client: Ennead, KSS
Sewell, NJ
Project involves a conceptual study for a museum and large site, including a theater, pedestrian bridge, remote toilets, utility garage, and bus shelter.

University of Pennsylvania Museum
Client: Gluckman Tang Architects
Philadelphia, PA
This 3-phase project includes renovations to an existing museum and is expected to take 10 years from start to finish. This project was extremely meticulous and required that the custom work be factored into the estimate—estimators could not rely on square footage or material divisions alone.
Phase 1: $15M
Phase 2: $16M
