In one of the most aggressive construction schedules undertaken in the region, employees and workers worked around the clock, seven days a week, to meet these commitments.

The owner accepted $2.1 million of the $3.1 million value-engineering changes recommended by BE&K. Prior to construction document completion, BE&K issued an early-release steel package to guarantee deliveries in time for completion of footings. The contractor also used early purchase and managed delivery of mechanical and electrical equipment to maintain the schedule. The 72-bed hospital project also included construction of an 8,900-sq-ft central energy plant and medical office building.
