California Hospital a Success Story for Integrated Project Delivery 'on Steroids'
Sutter Health's first hospital built under a risk-and-reward-sharing contract with 11 signatories was completed six weeks early, within its $320-million budget and with no claims, according to DPR Construction Inc. Sutter covered all the costs incurred by the partners of Sutter Medical Center, Castro Valley, and the partners received 80% of the profit anticipated at the project's onset. Sutter's team used lean project delivery for the California project, which opened on Dec. 1.
