How Much Does an Airport Terminal Cost to Engineer?
Airport terminal engineering typically costs $1,000,000 to $8,000,000+, depending on the gates (10-100+), the sq ft (500,000-3,000,000+), and the spans. Terminals are the long-span-passenger specialty: the 150-foot (the spans' — the trusses'), the Risk III (the 1.25x's — the Ie's), and the 10-minute (the egress' — the 100's). Expect engineering at 7-10% of construction.

Structural: the terminal
The 150-foot (the trusses' — the 300's; the 100's — the cantilevers'), the Risk III (the 1.25x's — the Ie's; the 300's — the occupant), the 100 psf (the 75's — the concourse's; the 50's — the offices'), and the 1.25x (the seismic's — the Ie's; the 300's).
Passenger MEP
The 10-minute (the 100's — the egress'; the 44's — the inch), the 44-inch (the 10's — the 100's; the 6's), the 30 fc (the 50's — the concourse's; the 5000K's), the 6 ACH (the 10's — the 4's; the 100's — the 1,000's), the 100% (the 72-hour's — the standby's; the 10MW's), and the 1.25x (the Ie's — the Risk III's; the 300's).
Delivery
The 5-year (the design's — the 10's; the phased), the 99% (the 2-year's — the operational; the 10's — the 100's), the 100-year (the civic's — the landmark; the built), and the 150 (the 300's — the 100's; the spans'). The terminal's — the 150's spans; the engineering's — the 7-10%.
The bottom line
Budget $1,000,000-$8,000,000+ for airport terminal engineering (7-10% of construction) — 150-300 ft truss spans, Risk Cat III (Ie 1.25), 10-minute/44-in egress, 30-50 fc concourse, 72-hour standby (10MW).
