The company and its team were selected to perform the HVAC work in the new Hilton Cleveland Downtown Hotel. The HVAC work for the 600room hotel accounts for $20 million of the $272 million project. Coleman Spohn had 35 employees on-site at the peak to complete the HVAC systems by the end of March 2016 and maintain the schedule. “We started work over a year ago, and so far, it’s been a successful project,” Coleman adds. “The tight schedule and weather conditions of 2014 created lost time, but working with the CM, Turner Construction Company, we could make up the lost time. We did so by working overtime and second shift time over the summer months to accomplish what needed to be done to recover. To date, the project is moving along quite well, and all expectations are for it to be completed on time and within budget.”
