Installing plants in your office space can have a significant positive impact on employee wellbeing and productivity (https://blog.naturahq.com/understanding-total-cost-of-ownership-for-your-office-plants). But what does a typical commercial plant installation project cost? The total price depends on several key factors:
According to RSMeans data, the median total cost to build out a new office space is $196.49 per square foot (https://www.rsmeans.com/resources/cost-to-build-an-office/). Earmarking 1-2% of your overall budget for biophilic design elements like plants is a good rule of thumb.

To give you a general sense of commercial plant installation pricing, here are a few scenarios for a typical 5,000 square foot office:
Basic: 20-30 low-maintenance plants in standard containers: $2,500 - $5,000
Enhanced: 50-75 plants, with some larger statement pieces: $7,500 - $12,000
Premium: 100+ plants, custom containers, green walls: $15,000 - $30,000+
Keep in mind that these ranges are averages and your actual office plants cost will depend on your specific project parameters.

Some additional line items to factor into your commercial plant installation budget include:
Many offices opt for a full-service plant lease and maintenance program, which rolls the installation, materials, and ongoing care into one monthly fee. Typical pricing for a plant lease program ranges from $75-200+ per month per plant (https://finmodelslab.com/blogs/startup-costs/exotic-indoor-plant-rental).
