What owners and contractors should watch

Bases, ranges and housing programs are spread across many sites.

Expect multi-site packages, training areas with live-range and unexploded ordnance constraints, and housing delivered through repeatable, often modular designs.

Standardised scopes, repeatable schedules and clear site-access rules are what keep these programs moving from one base to the next.
