Details of a Significant Hospital Project
The multi-story building is the primary service location for outpatient medical services for the hospital. It was designed to provide the finest possible setting for the provision of ambulatory healthcare by combining the latest medical technology and delivery to all patients in a convenient and efficient environment. The Outpatient Pavilion was also designed to allow for expansion and connectivity to other buildings, enabling patients to travel from one building to another and service resources to be shared among the buildings.

Vanir developed the project management plan and policies and procedures for the design and construction of the facility. We also developed the campus master schedule, which included the Outpatient Pavilion, Cancer Center, Eye Institute, Site Utilities (infrastructure) and Central Utility Plant.

Fast-Track Success
This fast-track design-build project was completed within budget in only 22 months from design to occupancy. The aggressive schedule of less than 2 years was a challenge. We worked closely with the owner and design/build team and effectively managed and maintained the master schedule.

Effective Value Engineering, Estimating and Negotiating
Through value engineering sessions, estimate reviews and guaranteed maximum price negotiations, Vanir was successful in reducing the construction budget by 13%. We were able to complete the facility with less than 1% change orders.

"I have worked with Vanir CM on several projects and have been very pleased with their outstanding services. They met or exceeded all my expectations and I would be pleased to work with them again if the opportunity presents itself in the future."
