Our experiences range from providing forensic scheduling at the Ft Myers Regional Airport to cost management at the Dulles International Airport or Cost Estimate Validation reporting for the Washington State Department of Transportation. For the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority the Airport Master Plan was initialized by our team to better define project assumptions, sequence of work requirements, program risks and a complete program budget from which the Authority could use as a tool to launch the program.
