We pride ourselves on offering knowledgeable, innovative and responsive preconstruction services for our clients. We regularly work with larger general contractors, construction management firms, architects and owners during the planning of a project to provide specialty budgets, schedules, technical data, constructability reviews, as well as on-site, hands-on, equipment assessments. We also routinely help clients develop procurement strategies to ensure projects meet overall objectives and schedules.
Our entire team understands the demand to keep your gates open during construction. We love opportunities to leverage our expertise during preconstruction to create innovative and creative ways to minimize downtime and keep your gates operational. Contact us for all your preconstruction needs.
We have successfully delivered 2,200+ specialty aviation projects. Through our experiences, the most expeditious and effective delivery method is Design-Build. A Design-Build offers clients a streamlined approach to incorporate expert engineering efforts with the ability to furnish and self-perform installation and construction into a single turnkey solution. In a design-build program, we are able to listen to clients early in the process and we can develop a project to meet your objectives, budget and schedule. A design-build project allows clients to select and release long-lead equipment during the design process, which typically saves months to an overall project schedule.
We believe design-build offers client’s the fastest, highest-quality and most innovative solutions for a project. We’d be happy to discuss additional benefits and options for design-build in more detail, so please feel free to contact us.
Our self-perform work is the core of our business. We employ full-time technicians, mechanics, field supervisors and superintendents who focus only on specialty aviation projects. Our self-perform employees are also AERO employee-owners. Our self-perform teams are committed to providing quality workmanship with a collaborative spirit, while also balancing project schedules and remaining flexible to changing conditions on the apron.
Since we self-perform, we directly control the quality, safety, schedule and implementation of our work. AERO teams on a jobsite have the ability and authority to control safety, workmanship, adapt to changing schedules and to provide immediate feedback and problem solving for project questions. Our approach to self-perform work instills confidence in clients and distinguishes us as a technical leader in the aviation industry.
Across our company, we have 1,800+ years of cumulative hands-on aviation contracting experience. Thus, AERO has deep understanding of the requirements and guidelines on public agency construction procurement. We are comfortable with traditional lump sum construction contracts, and we hold lump sum contracts of varying sizes directly to airport municipalities, authorities, state/city administrations and airlines.
We have a $300M aggregate bonding capacity, industry leading insurance coverages and an exemplary safety record. Our general contracting experience, combined with our self-perform capabilities across the United States, make us the go-to choice for all your specialty aviation construction needs.

We have the ability to support Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) projects in a variety of ways. We have routinely partnered, or joint-ventured, with larger CMR firms, integrating into their team to deliver the specialty airside scope. When we partner early in projects, we can provide our preconstruction services, as well as leverage our equipment buying power and schedule control to ensure the client’s overall airside scope is well coordinated, completed safely, within budget and on-schedule. CMR arrangement with AERO can set apart your CMR team from the competition and deliver a more successful project for the Owner.
We hold a variety of on-call contracts with airports, airlines and cargo carriers. Within the Passenger Boarding Bridge industry, “On-Call” or “Task Order” based Master Agreements have become increasingly popular because of the many benefits, including the ability to issue a wide range of specialty services and the speed at which these services can be provided. Through on-call agreements, we have been able to support critical projects from emergency repairs to large multi-gate design/build improvements. Please contact us with any questions as we would be happy to discuss potential on-call options to help you achieve your goals.
We have been in the contracting industry since the 1990’s and we recognize the integral role subcontractors, vendors and MWDBE partners play in the success of projects. We focus on developing long-term, trusting, and mutually respectful relationships with our subcontractors and vendors. When our subcontractors, vendors and MWDBE partners are successful, we are successful. We prioritize collaboration and support, and aim to foster relationships built on transparency, fairness and providing safe work environments.
We acknowledge it is our responsibility to identify and select reputable, stable and high-quality subcontracting partners that share the same passion to deliver successful projects for our clients. We research and qualify any new vendor prior to engaging into any contractual relationship.
We work in a specialty niche market where it can, at times, be challenging to identify and engage small, local or MWDBE firms. We are proud of our commitment to helping support and issue meaningful subcontracts to MWDBE firms and to always aim to exceed MWDBE goals.
