Dissatisfied with traditional project delivery, Sutter Health began experimenting with lean practices and integrated project delivery nearly a decade ago. Today, the nonprofit health care provider continues to deepen its commitment to processes that meld diverse design firms and contractors into highly aligned teams that can deliver quality projects on time and at the lowest possible cost.
"Sutter Health realized that conventional delivery was not going to give them the results they are looking for," says Dave Kievet, president of California operations with Boldt Co. "As a result, they look for creative and innovative ways to deliver their projects to get the results that they need to have."
