How did you guys get all of those heavy lift cranes on site at the same effing time haha? I counted like 6 of them in one pic.
I'm taking CM classes right now so I find projects like this interesting. Just curious as to how the project has done with staying on schedule & within budget. Didn't you guys use some sort of innovative construction methods to speed up the build time?
Impressive shite though.

Still on schedule believe it or not. The budget I'm not sure about. I know they added another $35 million due to donations.

As far as innovation, I really don't think there's anything really ground breaking. Everything is prefabbed off site and delivered as needed. It's pretty standard for large buildings these days.
The schedule is around the clock a lot of time with weekends as well. That's a huge chunk of the budget for sure.

The whole project was planned using 3D computerized plans for all ductwork, wiring, everything. Everything that got shipped to the sight was bar-coded for an exact location. It made it easier to be sure that the subcontractors wouldn't be in one another's way. It is something of an innovation for that level of 3D computerized plans and prefab to be used in construction. Even 5 years ago, I think it would have been all but impossible to make this timeline.
