Relentless Pace of Work Shatters Project Manager's Expectation
It's been Dustin Liljehorn's experience that most construction jobs follow a familiar pattern�they start strong, settle in for the long haul, and then finish in a frenzy. Glass House shattered that expectation.
The repetition involved with moving large volumes of material onto the site, the logistics of feeding and supervising a crew that regularly topped 400 and the pace required to finish 750,000-sq-ft in 21 months all required an energetic focus and devotion to the goal. "Other jobs just weren't as consistently that intense," said Liljehorn, a senior project manager for Denver's JE Dunn, the general contractor on the $64-million, 23 story apartment building. "There's usually a lull in the middle where things get in a groove and then you hurry to finish. This one was extremely intense, start to finish."
