With the funding for Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) pretty much dwindling away, Giants firms that perform work for the Pentagon and the military branches can expect fairly significant cuts in project spending in the next year or so.
The proposed military construction budget for FY2013 is $11.2 billion, down 24% from the previous fiscal year. Election-year politics could also have a chilling effect on spending, adding to the uncertainty.
Nonetheless, the military remains a huge consumer of design and construction services. DoDās portfolio of 300,000 buildings totaling 2.2 billion sf is six times larger than the General Services Administrationās. With energy costs running at $4 billion a year, the Pentagon is taking aggressive steps to cut operating costs for its facilities.
These efforts include pilot programs for net-zero energy, water, and waste in military facilities, as well as improved living facilities for bachelor personnel and military families. Construction of VA hospitals and long-term care facilities likely will also be ramped up. +
