Project Profile
Michuda Construction's recent 75,000 square foot healthcare facility project stands as a beacon of innovation and efficiency in the construction industry. The 3-story facility, designed to meet the growing demands of healthcare services, features three state-of-the-art x-ray rooms and a dedicated area for a future MRI suite, ensuring it is well-equipped to offer advanced diagnostic services. The building's robust steel frame, complemented by durable precast panels and a modern curtain wall system, not only guarantees structural integrity but also adds to the aesthetic appeal of the facility.
Value-Added Achievements:
- Cost Savings: Our approach to early trade involvement was a game-changer, yielding significant cost savings of $500,000. This achievement was made possible by fostering close collaboration with all project stakeholders, optimizing resource use, and streamlining the construction workflow for maximum efficiency.
- Equipment Consistency: In our pursuit of operational excellence, we ensured that all RTU (Roof-Top Unit) equipment matched those used across the healthcare system. This strategic uniformity simplifies maintenance procedures and boosts overall system efficiency, reflecting our meticulous attention to detail and commitment to operational coherence.
- Utility Conflict Resolution: Our proactive stance in coordinating with utility providers and employing locator services allowed us to identify and resolve utility conflicts well ahead of time. This foresight went beyond our contractual responsibilities, mitigating potential setbacks and facilitating a seamless construction timeline.
- Innovative Cost Solutions: We introduced bank pour concrete footings as a cost-effective alternative without compromising on the building's structural integrity. This innovative solution played a pivotal role in achieving cost efficiencies without sacrificing quality or safety.
- Efficient Procurement: Understanding the critical nature of project timelines, we prioritized the accelerated procurement of long lead items, cutting down the procurement phase by 10-12 weeks. This strategic move was instrumental in keeping the project on track, ensuring its completion within the stipulated timeframe and contributing to the overall success of the project.
Through these strategic initiatives, Michuda Construction has not only delivered a top-tier healthcare facility but also set new standards for construction excellence, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to adding value to every project we undertake.
