Ground-up apartment complexes and major renovations. Licensed, bonded, and insured general contractor delivering apartment projects across Georgia and Florida since 2016.
Unit count, site, and timeline. Detailed estimate within 48 hours.
Georgia and Florida's high-growth corridors continue to outperform national multifamily benchmarks. These are the figures shaping site selection and capital stack decisions in 2025–2026.
Apartment construction in Georgia and Florida demands a builder who can execute across product types — from affordable workforce housing to Class A luxury. BCG delivers from ground up.
3–4 story wood-frame construction over podium or at-grade. Unit counts from 48 to 300+. Surface and structured parking. Community amenities: clubhouse, pool, fitness center, dog park. The SE market's most financeable apartment product type.
5–7 story Type IIIA or Type I concrete construction. Structured parking podium, lobby package, rooftop or sky-deck amenities. Targets urban infill sites where density drives the pro forma — not land area.
Cost-controlled construction meeting LIHTC, HOME, or private affordability covenants. Pre-engineered structural packages, efficient unit plans, and value-engineered MEP systems — without compromising habitability or durability.
Single-family detached or attached units operated as rental communities. Individual utility metering, HOA-style amenity packages, and private entry — for the renter demographic that wants a yard without a mortgage.
High-specification finishes: quartz countertops, LVP flooring, in-unit laundry, smart home pre-wire, and amenity suites. Targets the top-of-market renter, underwrites at premium PSF, and commands the lowest vacancy in each submarket.
Office-to-residential and commercial-to-multifamily conversions. Structural assessment, egress re-engineering, and MEP redesign for existing footprints. Converts underperforming commercial assets into income-producing residential.
"You're not building an apartment complex. You're building an income stream that performs for 40 years. Build it right the first time."
— Bowser Construction GroupConstruction cost is the most controllable line in your capital stack. These benchmarks reflect 2025–2026 Georgia and Florida market conditions across BCG-managed apartment builds.
Georgia & Florida markets. Structural system, site conditions, unit mix, and amenity package drive variance. Call (470) 230-3331 for a project-specific hard cost budget.
Mass grading, stormwater detention, utility infrastructure (water, sewer, gas, electric), and parking lot construction. BCG coordinates with civil engineers and local utilities before vertical construction begins.
Wood-frame Type V, Type IIIA, or concrete-frame Type I depending on product type and height. Floor systems, shear walls, and lateral bracing per structural engineer's documents — inspected and cleared at each phase.
Unit-by-unit plumbing rough-in, individual electrical metering, HVAC split systems per unit, and fire sprinkler throughout. Sub-metered or master-metered configurations based on ownership and utility billing model.
Complete interior finish package: LVP or carpet flooring, quartz or laminate countertops, appliance package, painted drywall, bathroom tile, and lighting — scaled to your target rent point and proforma specification.
Clubhouse, leasing office, fitness center, resort-style pool, dog park, mailroom/package lockers, EV charging, and covered parking. Amenity scope matched to your comp set and absorption strategy.
Final inspections across all trades, phased CO strategies for early unit turnover, and punch list management. BCG coordinates with the jurisdiction, fire marshal, and utility providers for final sign-off.
Typical garden-style development of 100–200 units. Timelines vary by jurisdiction, product type, and site complexity.
Site plan finalization, civil engineering, MEP design-build scoping, permit submission to AHJ. BCG provides hard cost budgets for equity raise and construction loan underwriting.
Mass grading, underground utilities, stormwater infrastructure, and parking lot subbase. Vertical construction begins building-by-building as site work progresses.
Foundation, structural framing, sheathing, roofing, and building envelope per building. MEP rough-in, insulation, drywall, and interior finishes follow. First buildings frame-complete while later buildings break ground.
Unit interior finishes, appliance installation, exterior landscaping, pool, clubhouse, and amenity build-out. Phased occupancy permits issued building-by-building to enable early lease-up.
Final Certificate of Occupancy on all buildings. Punch list close-out, warranty documentation, and as-built drawing delivery. Property typically reaches 93%+ occupancy 6–9 months post-CO.
Send us the site plan, unit mix, and target spec level. We'll deliver a construction budget by product type within 48 hours — built for your equity deck, not an architect's estimate.
Now scheduling multifamily projects in GA & FL.
Garden-style in Metro Atlanta and North Georgia runs $130,000–$185,000 per unit at 900–1,000 SF average. Luxury Class A ranges from $200,000–$280,000 per unit. Workforce housing can be value-engineered to $110,000–$155,000 per unit depending on spec and structural system. BCG delivers hard cost budgets by trade — not blended guesses — so your construction loan and equity deck are built on real numbers.
A 100–200 unit garden-style community typically delivers in 16–22 months from groundbreaking. Larger communities with phased building delivery can begin leasing first buildings at month 14–16 while later phases complete. Pre-construction and permitting add 3–5 months depending on jurisdiction — Forsyth County and Central Florida have different plan review cycles.
Yes — this is one of the most common requests we handle. Developers use our trade-by-trade construction budgets for equity decks, construction loan applications, and LP presentations. We'll review your site plan, unit mix, and spec, and deliver a hard cost budget with contingency analysis within 48 hours. No cost until you're ready to proceed.
Yes. BCG manages plan submission, AHJ coordination, permit tracking, and inspection scheduling across every jurisdiction we serve. Georgia counties — Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Cherokee — each have different review timelines and requirements. Florida jurisdictions — Orange, Seminole, Osceola — operate under FBC 8th Edition with different inspection processes. We know each jurisdiction's process and build it into the schedule.
A phased CO allows individual buildings within a larger community to receive their Certificate of Occupancy as they complete, rather than waiting for the entire project. This enables early lease-up and revenue recognition — typically 3–6 months before full project completion. BCG builds phased CO strategies into the construction schedule from day one to optimize your lease-up velocity and debt service coverage.
