Potential for Project Cost Overruns/Claims
Potential risk for project overruns/claims could be encountered through construction
change orders if they were to exceed the budgeted construction contingency.
Discussion of Project Quality
A constructability review of the project took place in March of 2011. The complete set of
drawings has been coordinated by all A/E disciplines to address all of the constructability
comments. Corrections were incorporated into drawings and specifications. The project
was created and documented through use of Building Information Modeling (BIM). This
not only records 2d drawings and specifications but includes 3d scaled models of the
building including architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing building
elements. The General Contractor ran clash detection and constructability assessments of
the Building Information Model. Construction coordination was addressed early and
efficiently using this process. The project is currently 80% complete through the
construction schedule. Quality has been maintained and improved as construction has
progressed. Sustainability design goals for the project target achievement of a Silver LEED
sustainability rating. Current project assessment, scores the project within the low end of
the Gold certification level.
