Delivering High-Profile and High-Security Projects Nationwide and Around the World

U.S. Federal Practice

For 50 years, Hill International has partnered with U.S. Federal Government agencies to deliver construction projects and programs across the country and around the world. From research facilities to military infrastructure and administrative hubs, U.S. Federal projects present a variety of unique challenges, including heightened security requirements, complex community relations, and the need for a complete understanding of Federal guidelines and ongoing programs. Hill knows how to address these challenges, having managed the delivery of highly visible projects at the U.S. Supreme Court and the Washington Monument, Department of State projects around the world, one-of-a-kind program assignments for the Department of Energy across national laboratories, nationwide transit system enhancements overseen by the Federal Transit Administration and the Federal Railroad Administration, and Federal Bureau of Investigation field offices and U.S. courthouses across the country.

Many U.S. Federal Government agencies have trusted Hill to deliver their projects for decades. In 1988, for example, Hill won the first of five consecutive multi-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts to provide construction management services for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Baltimore District. Over the years, Hill has expanded our relationship with the agency both within and outside of the continental United States, supporting projects undertaken by the Huntington District, the Norfolk District, and the Philadelphia District, as well as large USACE programs in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Regardless of project needs or locale, we work closely with our U.S. Federal clients and leverage time-proven, on-line information and tracking tools to help ensure that projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest security and quality standards.
