The 150,000-sq-ft headquarters for logistics company Vanderlande took some creative problem-solving from the team at HITT Contracting, which delivered the three-story building connecting two office towers on time and on budget in May 2022 after less than 12 months of construction.
The first challenge was working inside the newly constructed building with no freight elevator, an obstacle crews overcame by designating specific bays of windows on each floor to move large materials into the building, including construction materials, equipment and furniture. At least one team member for each subcontractor was certified to operate the onsite boom lift used for deliveries, a solution highlighted by judges in evaluating the project.
