Significant pre-construction work involved structural engineering, construction discovery, seismic concerns, and community relations. This restoration project required seismic upgrades, remedial work on the existing foundation, replacement of existing post and beams, existing sub flooring, additional discovery and repair work. The restoration upgrades included additional concrete work, the placement of tie-down, structural brackets, vertical all-treads, all this structural work was to be completed prior to the renovation of the upper floor .

NW EQUIPMENT BUILDING
Concrete tilt-up
NW equipment building, a concrete tilt-up project, involved coordination with the owner’s engineer and architect. As construction manager I was involved in site evaluation accessibility to site, oversight of prime contractor, team resolution of any engineering concerns, specifically footing and floor slab requirements, verify details of panel forming surface treatment, and embeds and inserts. On site responsibilities included representing owner’s concerns on crane placement, lifting and placement of concrete walls, and finish. This 56,000 sq. foot industrial building had site specific consideration including bearing soil concerns, overhead transmission lines, proximity of adjacent buildings, and limited access for the lifting crane. The design team also had design difficulties, particularly the oversize doors for the moving of heavy equipment into the service bays, this structural concern impacted the integrity of the walls, interior steel beams and roof. As CM I coordinated and resolved these concerns with the engineer, architect, and prime contractor and prepared progress reports for the CMT main office and the owner.

As the team leader I was responsible for managing and directing all contractors, coordinating all construction schedules, point of contact for owner and contractors, responsible for documenting all change orders and resolving any contract and/or labor disputes. My prime responsibility was to make sure the project was done on schedule and within the budget contracted. As project manager I was keenly aware of structure practices specifically concerning exterior window and door installation and weatherproofing, exterior siding and proper papering, deck installation and railing. The bottom line on this project was not only (on schedule on budget) but the owners concern of future water-intrusion problems.

The actual work involved scaffolding, site problems, envelope considerations, safety issues, and the owner’s need to keep the office building functioning while the work was being completed. This project required continual documentation to include progress reports and assessment of problems existing and possible future concerns, such as reusing existing millgard windows and the possibility of mold.
