Military Construction: Planning and Design Costs

Abstract

This report responds to a requirement contained in the Senate Report accompanying the Military construction Appropriation Bill for fiscal year 1993 that we review the Department of Defense's (DOD) military construction planning and design (P&D) costs for the military services and defense agencies. Our objectives were to (1) identify trends in P&D costs for DOD and its military services and defense agencies as a percentage of total project cost; (2) determine what, if any, differences exist in the percentage of total project costs directed to P&D by project size and type; and (3) compare DOD's P&D percentages and time devoted to planning and design to four federal civilian entities--the Coast Guard, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), General Services Administration (GSA), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
