Project Update The construction document phase of the project continues to progress, which will result in the completion of design documents at the end of the month. The design team submitted a set of 50% construction documents to Spectrum Health for review earlier this week. Prior to bidding out this work, Spectrum will assess the final set of construction documents. To expedite this process, the design team will meet with Spectrum’s facility team to address any major concerns. There have been some major developments onsite since our last newsletter. Our biggest accomplishment is structural steel that has been erected. Builders Iron mobilized on the job site on June 3 and has almost 40% of the steel in the air. Builders Iron also has a crew onsite detailing the erected steel so that we can start pouring the elevated slabs. Before Builders Iron could start setting steel, TL Masonry and Kent Companies had to get a significant amount of work completed. TL Masonry completed the installation of the CMU north stairwell, double elevator and single elevator. While TL Masonry was working on the shaft walls, Kent Companies was continuing with the concrete foundations on the southern part of the building. Kent has put in a lot of hours over the past two weeks to stay ahead of the steel erection schedule, which included making large concrete pours on Saturday. The team we have assembled for this project is working very collaboratively. We have a number of large hurdles coming up, but I am certain there is no hurdle we cannot overcome.
