Please excuse my ignorance, but why does this cost so much? $100M for what is essentially a hanger and maintenance building for nine helicopters seems like an awful lot to me.
For comparison's sake, Save on Foods Memorial Centre cost $30M to build. Rogers Arena was $160M (approx $220M in today's dollars).

From my experience with Defence Construction jonny, the specifications of materials is MUCH higher than regular construction.
An example is "rigid" conduit instead of "EMT" for electrical wiring. Heaven forbid that they would specify BX or armoured cable.
This is your tax dollar at work. Nothing is too good for the taxpayer. Interesting to note that the quantity surveyors that set the budget were very close to the final bids.
I heard that the board room in the construction association office was somewhat tense when the bid results were read out and were so close. John Knappet runs a tight ship and has worked for Defense Construction in the past.......he knows the drill.

I've seen a lot of piles...that are typically 1ft diameter, 2ft less often, I've seen 3ft and bigger, but they are typically avoided if possible cause they add a lot of complications
