Pricing
How we price your project
Elite does not publish prices. Material and labor costs change often, and no two spaces are the same, so every job is quoted after a free site walk with a written, line-item estimate.
| Price factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Scope and condition of the space | A white box, a finished space, and a full gut each start from a different place. |
| Electrical and mechanical work | Lighting, power, and panel work are among the biggest parts of most projects. |
| Custom millwork and finishes | Built-to-fit cabinetry, displays, and finish levels change the number. |
| Building rules and approvals | Permits, landlord or board approvals, and after-hours work add time. |
