Extensive planning and some fortuitous timing helped The Inn at Darden project team deliver a much needed upgrade to the University of Virginia’s hospitality offerings.

Though W.M. Jordan Co. had no opportunity for preconstruction services or constructibility analysis on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Langley Research Center Measurement Systems Lab project, the team found ways to save millions of dollars while also enabling the agency to add scope to the project.

The company has experienced an increase in negotiated contracts for both construction management and design-bid-build delivery.
