Project Profile

The project consisted of two lab classrooms and a prep room in the existing Plaza Hall Building.  Ten island work stations with epoxy resin countertops and pop-up power/data ports were installed along with two teacher's stations that have capacity for additional technology including a stationary computer, microscope, and a direct link to the ceiling-mounted projectors. 

 

A large dry erase board spans over 30' between the plastic laminate cabinets at the front of each classroom and windows in the back give an open feeling from the adjacent corridor. 

 

The prep room located between the labs has an epoxy drying rack on the wall and vented cabinets to store the specimens.  There is also a new IT closet with a dedicated air conditioner, a new temperature controls system for the rooms, and a large fume exhaust fan located on an exterior concrete pad.

How Preconstruction Services Benefit Your Project

 

There is no single process for the successful delivery of a construction project, as every project presents new and unique challenges to a construction owner. Experienced construction managers like Schwab LLC have the experience and skill to work with your particular project needs. It is a good investment to enlist the support of a competent construction manager as early in the process as possible, to help identify and overcome roadblocks and hurdles for the most efficient cost outcome. Problematic issues are always best discussed before construction begins.

 

Below are some of the preconstruction services Schwab LLC offers:

 

Project Site Review and Assessment

At Schwab LLC, we work closely with the owner to review the existing site conditions whether it is new construction on undeveloped land or the expansion of an existing building. We can develop a comprehensive plan for your construction project tailored to your concerns. This can involve working with the owner to determine the best use of the space and the appropriateness of the improvements. It can also include discussion of ideas to reduce the amount of disruption to ongoing operations, future needs for expansion, and planning for the unique requirements of your operations.

 

Constructability, Estimating & Budgeting

Schwab LLC actively collaborates with the design team to develop a project based on your requirements and budget. Schwab LLC's involvement can include periodic budgeting during design, recommendations and advice of systems and products, contractors and permitting, as well as many other questions you may have along the way.

 

Scheduling

Keeping your project on track starts from the very beginning of the planning process. At Schwab LLC, we develop a schedule that lays out the work for both the preconstruction and construction processes and monitors the progress of the project.

 

Value Engineering

One of our primary goals is to make sure your project stays on budget, and we can provide value engineering throughout the planning process to identify areas where money can be conserved or spent more wisely. We present our recommendations to you to help you make an informed decision.

 

Bidding

We work with appropriately-sized and trusted subcontractors, and competitively price out the specific items of work to bring you the best price.

 

By enlisting a trusted construction manager like Schwab LLC for your preconstruction process, you can be assured of reducing the number of issues that you would otherwise have dealt with on your own and possibly with no advance notice. Please contact us if you would like more information on our preconstruction services. We are here to assist you in any way we can.
