A relocation of the firm’s corporate headquarters, this three-story (LEED Silver Certification pending), Class-A office building has room to house more than 350 employees. A combined heat and power plant (CHP) that uses natural gas to simultaneously generate electricity and useful thermal energy was also constructed on the site.
Involved from the conceptual design phase, and then throughout preconstruction, a significant portion of our effort revolved around complex system coordination. VDC elements were integral and included site utility clarification, design-assist MEP coordination, virtual coordination reviews, and fabrication-level documentation among many others. Initially over budget, Warfel worked with the consultants to determine avenues for value management. By more clearly defining the systems and design intent we were able to capitalize on more cost-effective systems with input from our trade partners.
