How Much Does an Airport Terminal Cost to Engineer?
Terminal engineering typically costs $1,000,000 to $5,000,000+, depending on the gates (10-100+), the sq ft, and the hub status. Terminals are the long-span-systems specialty: the 150-foot (the hall's — the clear), the 2,000+ amps (the service's — the 480V), and the 24/7 (the operations' — the never closing). Expect engineering at 8-12% of construction.

Structural: the terminal
The 150-foot (the hall's — the clear; the trusses'), the 100 psf (the concourse's — the 80's; the hold's), the 4-level (the 60-foot — the 14's — the clear; the APM's), and the 200 mph (the wind's — the 170's; the missile's — the 15-lb).
Systems MEP
The 2,000+ amps (the service's — the 480V's; the 2N's — the UPS), the 1,000-ton (the cooling's — the 24/7's; the N+1's), the 24/7 (the operations' — the phased; the never closing), the 100% (the outside's — the air's; the 20 cfm's — the person), and the 2N (the data's — the 911's; the FAA's).
Delivery
The FAA (the funded — the AIP's; the 5-year), the 10-year (the master plan's — the ALP's; the phased), the 24/7 (the phasing's — the 0's — the shutdown; the 100's — the gates), and the 50-year (the hub's — the built; the expanded). The terminal's — the 24/7; the engineering's — the 150-foot.
The bottom line
Budget $1,000,000-$5,000,000+ for terminal engineering (8-12% of construction) — 150-ft clear-span halls, 2,000A+ 2N power, 1,000-ton N+1 cooling, 24/7 zero-shutdown phasing; FAA AIP-funded with 10-year ALP master plans.
