Budget Estimate (AI):

$1,000,000 – $2,000,000

A typical A‑E fee for a $32.2 M construction project ranges from 4 % to 7 % of construction cost, depending on scope complexity, MILCON requirements, and firm reputation. Assuming a mid‑range 5 % fee, the expected award could be about $1.6 M. To allow for variability (e.g., higher fees for specialized MILCON expertise or lower fees for a competitive bid), a reasonable estimate is $1 M – $2 M.
