A tight site, distinctive exterior and strict schedule required careful planning and execution on the Harwood District’s new Class AA office tower.

Stand-out service, expansion into growth markets and a rigorous training program empowered north Dallas-based painting and coatings subcontractor Cherry Coatings to rebuff the worst of the pandemic and improve its revenue through 2020 and into this year.

While work continues to be plentiful for specialty contractors across the five-state region of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas, concerns remain for how the project landscape will continue to evolve as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to weigh on the world.

The single-story, 10,000-sq-ft banquet hall marks one of the California’s community college system’s first applications of public-private financing.

The three-story tilt-up building expands critical medical services to historically underserved areas of San Diego County.

Located in rural northeastern California, the three-building, 28,000-sq-ft hospital complex is a critical access facility serving a 4,500-sq-mile area.

Construction on the 37,000-sq-ft building was on track for early completion in mid-March 2020 when COVID-19 shelter-in-place (SIP) orders brought work to a screeching halt. Yet within 48 hours, the project team was ready to safely resume work, deploying protective equipment and new safety protocols that, under normal circumstances, might have required several weeks to plan and implement. 

Despite initial concern that the project might be vulnerable to as much as $1 million in cost overruns, the two-phase, $36.5-million construction program was ultimately completed under budget thanks to innovative value engineering and negotiated change order requests.
