YOUR AVIATION BUILD PARTNER

Running an FBO, MRO, flight department, or private hangar project? Centrex guides you from concept to completion—helping you build faster, avoid costly surprises, and achieve a facility that reflects your vision nationwide.

WHAT'S AT STAKE

THE COST OF
GETTING IT WRONG

In business aviation, the wrong partner can ground your plans—stalling operations, driving up costs, and forcing you into costly redesigns and missed opportunities. Your operation deserves a partner you can trust.

THERE'S A BETTER WAY

WHY AVIATION LEADERS CHOOSE CENTREX

Backed by 50 years of construction experience, Centrex brings specialized expertise to aviation facilities. Our proven approach delivers predictable budgets, faster timelines, and facilities finished to match your vision.

CONSTRUCTION DELIVERY METHODS

THE RIGHT WAY TO BUILD: TRANSPARENT. PREDICTABLE. CENTREX.

Traditional construction is often a bait-and-switch: award the lowest bid, then brace for the change orders.

Centrex works differently. We participate early—guiding your design with real cost insights before the bid goes out. This creates budget alignment from the start and brings high-performing subcontractors to the table who know the job is real.

You stay in control. We deliver certainty.

WHICH APPROACH IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Centrex-vs-Traditional

DESIGN-ASSIST + CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

Collaborate with Centrex early in your project to unlock smarter design decisions, better constructability, and real-time value engineering throughout the design phase. The Design-Assist + Construction Management approach is ideal for large-scale aviation operations that can’t afford late-stage changes — organizations that need costs aligned to their pro forma from the start. By engaging early, you gain clarity in design while we deliver cost certainty, then transition seamlessly into construction.

DESIGN-ASSIST + CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

BUILD+

We know the design and construction process can feel overwhelming and uncertain. That’s why at Centrex, we provide a single point of contact to guide you every step of the way—so you can build with complete confidence and peace of mind. Build+ is our one-stop solution for private hangar development and growing aviation operations. Whether you’re an individual aviator building your first facility or a company expanding its operational footprint, Build+ streamlines the process. We minimize risk, control costs, and create the most efficient design-and-build experience possible, serving as your single point of contact from concept to completion.

Accelerated Time to Market

We align scope, budget, and build strategy from the start, avoiding costly redesigns and delays. So you get to market faster—and start seeing returns on your investment sooner.

Real Costs, Not Just Low Bids

The traditional model rewards low bids and costly change orders. We bring real numbers upfront—giving your architect better targets and you clear expectations.

Job Done Right, Every Time

For 50+ years, Centrex has taken the stress out of building—combining proven processes with personal service so you can trust it’s done right the first time.
