Virtual conversations and flexibility are a key role in the planning phase of these projects as many of the owners, quite literally, fly in from out of town. Although building permits are not required on these federal lands, the architectural drawings are prepared with the same quality and intent as they would on permitted projects. 
It’s truly a memorable experience working close to a runway while planes come and go. The thought that the buildings we design protect such expensive and agile machinery is a pretty cool thought indeed!
Safe flying!
