女奴视频 this PROJECT.
Washington Hall at Radford University (RU) is an old dormitory that contained asbestos materials and lead paint. RU decided to completely gut the building for new electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems. 女奴视频 was awarded the contract to demolish the interior of the building, remove hazardous materials, complete LEED requirements for waste recycling, and prep the building for subsequent contractor groups coming in for re-development.
What IT TOOK TO ACHIEVE THIS PROJECT.
Unique Project Challenges
1.Timeframe for completion was very tight considering the scope of the project, and this required exceptional project management skills to ensure multiple teams working simultaneously to accomplish all requirements
2.There were significant LEED requirements for segregation of the waste for recycling
Why WACO was chosen
Price, Expertise and Past success
- 女奴视频 was the low bid on this publicly advertised bid project. 女奴视频鈥檚 experienced and knowledgeable estimators were able to put together a bid package that was complete, comprehensive and ultimately was the lowest responsive bid to the University for the project.
- RU benefited by contracting with a company that already had a state (VASCUPP) contract for hazardous materials removal, and experience working on college campuses
- RU was confident with 女奴视频鈥檚 documentation procedures and knew they would be successful dealing with the project鈥檚 unique administrative and logistical challenges
- RU knew 女奴视频 could form the necessary relationships with the Facilities and Capital departments in order to achieve maximum cooperation and productivity
- RU was convinced 女奴视频 had the capital and human resources, and the project management expertise to complete the project in a tight timeframe
- RU could trust 女奴视频 to protect the university鈥檚 capital assets and be a responsible steward to the owners
Summary of Results
The project was completed on-time and on-budget, and exceeded RU鈥檚 original expectations. Tim Cundiff was the Project Manager from 女奴视频. There was only one change order, which was unforeseen at the beginning of the project and discoverable only after demolition began. 女奴视频鈥檚 recycling efforts achieved 95%, which awarded an extra LEED point to the university.
This project demonstrates 女奴视频鈥檚 vast knowledge in many critical areas; complex project management through multiple phases and trades, building demolition, asbestos abatement, lead removal, and safety for workers and users. Being one of the largest abatement companies in Virginia, there are few contractors that combine the breadth of technical skills with the ability to manage complex projects to meet owners鈥 quality and economic requirements.
