How do you define success on a construction project? The answer varies according to each participant’s perspective: • The owner wants results — on time and within budget, with the completed facility performing as anticipated. • Process may be foremost to the architect, focused on achieving the creative vision. • The contractor may see relationships as paramount, to assure key subcontractors and suppliers will support their future projects. Recognizing the divide that too often arises between what the distinctive parties define as success, RogersO’Brien Construction formalized an approach called Successful Project Planning to balance process, results and relationships. This approach acknowledges that each participant has something at stake, seeks to define those expectations and provides a framework for taking corrective action when expectations are not being met. To get all key project team members thinking with a preventative mindset, focused on solving problems before the fact, prior to construction start-up, Ken Dunham, Rogers-O’Brien Vice President, facilitates a day-long workshop with all stakeholders in attendance covering these key topics: • Fostering team collaboration • Defining decision-making process • Process agreements and team expectations • Potential roadblocks and preventions • Action plan Successful Project Planning enables project teams to more readily meet schedule, budget and quality requirements while fostering solid working relationships. This process has been successfully applied to many Rogers-O’Brien construction projects. The initial workshop clearly defines the way in which all parties communicate, ground rules and expectations, aligning all parties to work together toward exceptional outcomes.

Rogers-O’Brien harnesses the power of technology to improve project delivery in these key areas: • During design, our estimators quickly develop new take-offs and re-price the effects of major design revisions like changing the building skin. • Laser scanning of existing structures helps coordinate
for all management-level personnel. We also assign each new employee a work partner until the safety director has completed an assessment of that employee and identified his/her training needs.
renovation design. • Project managers analyze site logistics and construction sequences. • Virtual models are used by superintendents to show work crews exactly how completed work should look; IPads are used in the field to compare in-place construction to virtual models and quickly resolve any variances. • Subcontractors can pre-fabricate MEP systems, wall sections, or even entire rooms based on the model, reducing job site labor and clutter. • At project completion, information-rich 3D as-built drawings act as a virtual operating manual.
We have a long-established partnership with OSHA to identify and eliminate potential hazards in the industry and establish the safest environment possible for our subcontractors. We consistently maintain an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) well below industry average. Rogers-O’Brien won 2nd place in the National AGC Construction Safety Excellence Awards Competition and has won the ABC Safety Star Award for two consecutive years.

The Plaza at Preston Center Office Tower is a 5-story, 71,416 SF office building with a 2-level, underground parking structure located in the high-end shopping center at the intersection of Preston Road and Northwest Highway. Rogers-O’Brien overcame the challenge of working in a limited area among retail shops and restaurants that remained opened throughout construction and adjacent to an up-scale residential neighborhood. As a solution to minimize the effects of construction activities, the Rogers-O’Brien team installed a 20’ tall, sound attenuating wall to absorb noise and allow for increased work hours. This led to an expedited schedule, allowing tenants to begin operating sooner while minimizing the duration of construction interference.
Rogers-O’Brien provided pre-construction and construction services for the Alliance Town Center Office North, a 3-story, 155,000 SF tilt-wall Class A office building. This project is the first office component to be built in the Alliance Town Center mixed-use development and is part of the 17,000-acre Alliance Texas master plan in northern Tarrant county.

Good Fulton & Farrell The 33-acre open-air urban village of Park Lane, situated between the DART Park Lane light rail station and NorthPark Center, was constructed to balance the lifestyle functions of living, working, dining and shopping. The vision was to create an environment that would blend lifestyle and power retail with offices, condominium and rental apartments, resulting in a memorable gathering place for the community in a harmonious architectural setting. Due to its proximity to the nearby NorthPark Center, parking demand was met by consolidating surface parking for existing office buildings into a seven-level parking garage and constructing a pedestrian-oriented retail environment along newly created shopping streets. Rogers-O’Brien was the lead contractor on this Joint Venture with The Beck Group.
Rogers-O’Brien completed a ground-up 2-story, 90,000 SF Neiman Marcus store at the new 270-acre The Shops at Clearfork retail development in Fort Worth, Texas. The project was completed in February of 2017.
