Challenges & Solutions
The Challenges
- The project had a winter start date, which made laying concrete and foundation work difficult.
- There were many allowances in the AIA contract, placing the budget and schedule on unsure footing.
- The owner and operator had many of their own subcontractors and consultants on this project, leading to input from many directions.

- The Douglas Company was able to design-build several money-saving features of the project after construction was underway, including a light fixture package, landscaping, and site improvements, while maintaining the strict schedule.
- The Douglas Company team organized communication and coordination between the client, design team, subcontractors, and consultants, formulating strategies in line with everyone’s goals.
