A past participant at the Early Childhood Design Institute this summer shared the following resource with Vicki Stoecklin, Education and Child Development Director, for White Hutchinson, regarding getting ballpark estimates on building construction: http://www.rsmeans.com/calculator/index.asp. While this resource should never take the place of a schematic design layout and a general contractor’s bid estimate for the building for your area, this resource will help you think about your project costs.
