Owner's engineer
Owners retain independent defense P.E.s in New Mexico for design review, constructability, schedule and cost validation, and on-site representation through commissioning.
Direct P.E. engagement
Smaller New Mexico defense scopes — feasibility, study, peer review, expert testimony — are engaged directly with a licensed P.E. on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis.
Typical fee range
$defense engineering fees in New Mexico typically run 4–10% of TIC for greenfield work and 8–15% for brownfield/modernization scopes.
