The short answer
- Complete conversions start around $70K when you supply your own vehicle
- Most complete builds, Sprinter or box truck, land between $130K and $260K including the vehicle
- Specialty builds like mammography, MAT units, and advanced command vehicles are priced by scope and can run higher
The platform doesn't drive the price. Your program does. A simple box truck office costs less than a complex Sprinter clinic, and two vehicles that look identical from the street can be $80K apart because of what's inside.
What's in every build
Every complete conversion includes the foundation: insulated walls, flooring, and ceiling built for all seasons, a lithium battery electrical system with shore power and alternator charging, climate control that runs without idling the engine, interior lighting and outlets, and a custom vinyl wrap with your branding. That foundation is what the starting price buys. Everything after that is your program.
What moves the price up
- Clinical requirements: exam areas, clinical surfaces, medical storage, handwashing, and compliance driven layouts
- Specialty equipment: dental compressors and suction, imaging units, medical fridges, testing stations
- Power appetite: equipment that runs all day pushes the battery system up
- Accessibility: ADA ramps and lift systems
- Station count: every additional workstation, chair, or private room adds cabinetry, power, and layout complexity
- Finish level: a showroom or beauty build carries retail grade materials
Conversion only, or vehicle included?
Proposals are structured in two parts: the conversion and the vehicle. If you already own a Sprinter or box truck, we convert it, and your cost is the conversion alone. If you don't, we help you source the right chassis and the quote covers both. This is also why grant budgets for these projects vary: some organizations budget the full package, others already have the vehicle.
How the comparison looks
For context, full size mobile medical coaches and 40 foot command trucks typically run $500K to $800K and up, before the operational costs of a CDL driver and depot parking. A right sized build delivers most of the same program capability at a fraction of that, and it gets used more because any staff member can drive it and it parks where the people are.
How organizations pay for these
Most of our nonprofit and health clients build with grant dollars: SAMHSA, HRSA, DOJ programs, state opioid settlement funds, and foundations. Our standard process is built around that: you get detailed, line item pricing before your funding is secured, sized for your application, and we hold your spec while the award process runs. Businesses typically buy direct and use Section 179 to expense most of the build in the first year.
