What American Infrastructure Development does

American Infrastructure Development (AID) is a privately held Florida corporation founded in 2009 that provides professional services to airport clients across the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The firm operates four integrated service lines — Architecture, Engineering, Aviation Planning, and Construction Management — delivered through seven offices anchored by a Tampa headquarters and including Orlando, Venice, West Palm Beach, Clearwater, St. Croix (USVI), and Washington, D.C. AID serves more than 65 airports spanning general aviation, commercial service, and international facilities, with project sizes ranging from $25,000 to $88,000,000 in construction cost.

The firm's technical scope covers runway, taxiway, apron, and pavement design; site development, grading, and utility coordination; stormwater modeling and permitting; airport master planning, ALP updates, FAA Form 7460 airspace filings, obstruction studies, and emerging VTOL / Advanced Air Mobility planning; architectural design for terminals, FBOs, hangars, and public-use facilities; and full construction management and CEI services. AID operates as Engineer of Record on multi-state engagements and holds multiple General Engineering Consultant (GEC) contracts that provide recurring baseline work; the majority of revenue is generated through repeat engagements with longstanding government and institutional airport clients.

The business is founder-owned and bootstrapped — no external funding rounds, no institutional investors, and no M&A activity are disclosed. Revenue is project-based and quote-driven under professional-services contracts with government airport authorities, with project economics tied to construction value and standard A&E fee loadings. Leadership consists of Founder/President-CEO Sabina S. Chaudhry and four Vice Presidents covering Architecture, Construction Management, Engineering, and Planning, supported by a dedicated Grants Manager — a structure that emphasizes FAA/FDOT regulatory compliance, EOR continuity, and grant-administration support as primary differentiators in a niche aviation-infrastructure market.
