Frequently Asked Questions
Do you estimate FAA-funded airport improvement projects?
Yes. We are experienced with FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) projects and can produce estimates formatted for FAA grant applications and AIP compliance documentation.
Can you separate airside and landside costs in your estimates?
Yes. We routinely separate airside and landside costs for funding, phasing, and reporting purposes — a standard requirement for most airport projects.
Do you include phased construction costs for occupied airports?
Yes. We include phasing premiums, temporary facility costs, and operational constraint allowances for construction in active airport environments.
What pricing data do you use for aviation estimates?
We use our proprietary pricing database built from real aviation project data, supplemented by live quotes from our contracted suppliers and vendors. RSMeans is reserved for government and DOB reports only.
How long does an airport project estimate take?
Most aviation estimates are delivered in 48–72 hours. Large terminal or airfield projects may require 3–5 business days depending on scope complexity.
