First off, electric upgrades cost lots of money. An overhead service upgrade can run 8 to 15 thousand and if you have to trench a parking lot to go underground you are looking at 20 to 40 thousand just for electric.
A/C will run you about 15 to 20 thousand for about 10 tons.
These two upgrades will chew about a third of your budget right there. Always try to negotiate these things in your lease as they are upgrades to the landlords property but you may end up paying for a good chunk of it depending on how negotiations go.
An HP bed will tax the electrical service for 100 amps three phase and 3 tons of A/C alone to run properly and the cost of a bed like this is in the 40 thousand dollar range.
Large VHR beds will need 60 amp three phase and 1.5 to 2 tons of A/C. Beds like this cost in the range of 20 to 35 thousand dollars.
Your smaller beds will consume about 30 amps to 50 amps a piece and need 1 ton of A/C and be in the price range of 5 to 15 thousand dollars.
Now we are approaching that $200,000 budget and we haven't even started the build out yet which can run 75 to 150 thousand dollars for construction costs. |
Brian you are a very smart guy. There is no way in hell you would pay that kind of money to open a salon. Electrical and A/C are all negotiable and where in the world would you spend 75 to 150 thousand for construction?
