PROJECTS
14 major MILCON and federal construction programs — SIOP dry docks, bomber beddowns, base rebuilds, barracks, and RDT&E facilities — by category, status, and delivery agent; we track every program here, and specialize in helping contractors and owner-side teams recruit the federal-ready PMs, superintendents, CQC managers, and SSHOs who deliver them.
Use the navigation below to jump to a category. Every program shown is publicly announced — compiled from official award notices and budget documents, organized by status and delivery agent.
Five programs whose scale, complexity, or strategic weight mark them as defining builds of the 2025–2030 MILCON cycle.
The Navy’s flagship shipyard infrastructure award — a $2.8 billion task order within a ~$3.4 billion program building a new graving dock for Virginia-class submarine maintenance. In-water construction is underway, dredging runs through 2026, and the dock is targeted for January 2028 — one of the most demanding marine-civil workfronts in U.S. construction.
The largest base rebuild in Air Force history: 44 MILCON projects delivering more than 120 resilient facilities around the incoming F-35 mission, with 17 major facilities already turned over.
Roughly $2 billion of hangars, restoration, training, and weapons facilities preparing the B-21’s first operational home — first facilities delivered, fuel cell hangar completing November 2026.
Two overlapping programs — the continuing vertical buildout of the first new Marine Corps base since 1952, and a 16-site island-wide missile defense architecture with construction running to roughly 2035.
A $1.7 billion expansion and reconfiguration of Dry Dock 1 for Virginia-class availabilities — new floors, walls, pump station, and caissons on an operating nuclear yard, completing mid-2028.
Organized by category. We track every program below; on select builds we’re actively recruiting federal PMs, superintendents, CQC managers, SSHOs, project controls, and estimating talent — project engineer to executive.
New graving dock supporting Virginia-class submarine maintenance for the Pacific Fleet — the Navy’s flagship SIOP award. Major in-water construction underway; dredging continues through 2026. Deep demand for marine-civil PMs, dock superintendents, QC and commissioning leads.
Expansion and reconfiguration of Dry Dock 1 for Virginia-class submarine availabilities — new dock floors and walls, center wall, pump station, portal crane rails, and utility tunnels on an operating nuclear shipyard. Sustained need for structural-marine supervision and CQC staff.
Top-to-bottom refurbishment of the historic Dry Dock 3 — floor and wall replacement, rebuilt caisson seats on deep foundations, new pump well, and replaced crane rail — inside a yard already carrying roughly 40 concurrent projects and $520M+ under contract.
The Navy’s planned rebuild of carrier and submarine docking capacity at Bremerton, mapped across four major construction packages and advancing through procurement in 2026 — the largest single piece of the SIOP portfolio still ahead of award.
First operational home of the B-21 — maintenance and phase hangars, low-observable restoration, wash rack, weapons and training facilities. LO Restoration Facility ($161M) and Wash Rack ($81M) delivered; Fuel Cell Hangar completes November 2026 with follow-on packages behind it.
The largest base rebuild in Air Force history — a hurricane-recovery program rebuilt to resilient standards around the F-35 mission. Seventeen major facilities turned over with dozens still in construction, spanning flightline, operations, maintenance, and community scopes.
Multi-year replacement of 1960s-era basic-training housing with a consolidated campus of recruit dormitories, dining, and training facilities — the Air Force’s gateway installation rebuilt around throughput, with steady demand for vertical PMs, superintendents, and QC staff.
The first new Marine Corps base since 1952 continues its vertical buildout — a consolidated communications facility and warehouses starting in FY26, engineer-battalion maintenance and storage facilities, and follow-on quality-of-life packages under NAVFAC Pacific.
A 360-degree integrated air and missile defense architecture across 16 publicly announced sites — launchers, radars, and communication towers with hardened civil and power scopes. First self-powered site began construction in early 2026; the program runs to roughly 2035.
The largest 3D-printed construction program in the federal inventory — ten 5,700-sq-ft printed transient training barracks, with the first building opened in July 2026 and the remainder delivering on a six-month print cycle. A live test bed for additive construction supervision.
The Corps’ generational recapitalization of unaccompanied housing — renovation and replacement of barracks across the enterprise, formally ramping in 2026 with eleven renovation projects underway and a long new-construction tail through the 2030s.
Purpose-built strategic-systems and hypersonics RDT&E capability at Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane — evaluation labs supporting reliable performance of strategic missile systems, moving through completion and outfitting after its 2024 groundbreaking.
The Bureau’s long-run buildout on Redstone Arsenal — Innovation Center delivered, a 240-acre science and technology district in development, and the next construction phase starting in 2026. Anchors Huntsville’s federal construction market alongside Army and MDA work.
Announced May 2026: a new operations facility at Schriever supporting Golden Dome, space-based reconnaissance, and all-domain command and control — one of four planned facilities of similar scale, positioning Colorado Springs for a sustained secure-construction cycle.
Every program shown is compiled exclusively from public sources — DoD contract announcements, NAVFAC and USACE award notices, service budget justification books, congressional reports, and installation public affairs releases. Nothing operationally sensitive appears here: no schedules, layouts, or details beyond what the government has published itself.
To appear here, a program must meet at least one of the following — and every entry is re-verified against public reporting each quarter:
