National Institute of Standards & Technology

Owner: NIST | Services: Cost Estimating

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a part of the Department of Commerce, is one of the oldest physical science laboratories in the United States. Its mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology, enhancing economic security, and improving quality of life. NIST operates multiple facilities, with its two primary campuses in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and Boulder, Colorado. Axias has supported many projects at these locations with cost estimating services, from early feasibility studies to construction.

Axias worked on the Master plan for the Boulder Campus where we provided conceptual estimates for its Research Building, Campus Center, Visitor Center, Management Resource Center, NOAA Research Building, and Childcare Center, as well as various site infrastructure, parking, and utility projects.
