Student Housing Work
company overview The Hayner Hoyt Corporation was founded in 1966. From day one, building a quality product for our customers has been our top priority. We emphasize quality and service in everything we do and retain a large customer base as a result. Since 2007, nearly 100% of our annual revenues have come from repeat customers or new clients through referral. We pride ourselves on customer retention—our relationships, like our buildings, are built to last. Our primary service area is upstate New York, but we have expanded into New England, Maryland, Pennsylvania and as far away as Dallas, Texas. We have established long-term relationships with firms outside our primary service area which has exposed our company to new ideas, technologies and construction techniques. This broadened perspective and continuous evaluation and analysis allows us to implement new ideas and technologies that provide measurable benefits for our customers in both quality and savings. We use the latest computer technology to ensure that our customers are getting the best value on every project. Estimates are prepared using advanced Timberline software. We also employ Procore and ASTA Power Project to manage projects and provide realistic long and short-term schedules. Procore enables us to collaborate via the internet to keep all team members informed throughout the entire process of any given project. Additionally, we implement Building Information Modeling (BIM) for our major projects, which creates a virtual building model to identify and remedy design conflicts before we begin construction, saving clients significant time and money. We have a broad range of project experience including new construction, multi-phase renovations, and combinations of the two. Since our revenue is close to 100% repeat business, we are a full service company. This means we have the focus and efficiency to manage very small projects of only a few thousand dollars while simultaneously being able to offer the expertise and staff resources to manage single projects exceeding $150 million in size across all market sectors.

POSITIVE LEADERSHIP COLLABORATION
INTEGRITY SAFETY FIRST
Pre-construction services Successful projects start with good planning, open communication, and collaboration. We provide several key services that ensure a smooth pre-construction process and an on-time construction start.
understanding program & existing conditions Our ultimate goal during pre-construction is to minimize risk and ensure the budget is followed. We do this by: • Working with the architect during design development to ensure effective planning and budgeting. • Reviewing real-time pricing with the design team to keep project components on budget. • Performing a detailed review of site restrictions, existing conditions, logistical issues, site layout, phasing requirements, site utilization etc.
preparing construction estimates Before any estimates are prepared, we facilitate a meeting with the Owner and designers to determine what is included in the budget, assign responsibility for each item, and determine the client’s desired format for the estimate, e.g. by building, phase, funding source, etc. • Estimates are prepared using Timberline software and our historic database of construction. • Estimates carry design contingencies until drawings are completed.
Constructability Review • We regularly review documents during development to offer alternative means, materials, methods, systems, manufacturers, etc. to maximize cost savings. • Final approval lies with the Owner.
value engineering (VE) • We’ll make suggestions throughout document development which may involve changes to major systems, equipment, design, or even the program. • We avoid the need for cost reductions by being very involved in the design and program meetings to provide feedback as design decisions are made. • In the event the budget increases after a milestone estimate is prepared, VE will be performed to get the budget back on track.
coordination with other entities • We can coordinate planning board and zoning approvals, road closures, public works, permits, community outreach, utility planning and service etc. • We can work with the Owner’s furnishing and equipment vendors. • We’ll facilitate meetings, review shop drawings, manage lead times etc.
construction services Each project presents its own unique challenges. The uniqueness doesn’t lie in the means and methods of construction, but rather the needs and coordination of the client and their operations.
Working with subcontractors • We’ll assemble a list of subcontractors to be reviewed by Owners before being issued; list will include Owner’s preferred subcontractors that may already be working in their facility. • Once the bidding is complete, we perform an extensive de-scoping process to ensure the recommended subcontractors are capable and qualified to complete the work. • We’ll make an award recommendation, but final approval is the Owner’s.
reporting • All information is kept electronically, shared freely, and is readily available to the client. • At the end of the project, all information can be stored electronically including most submittals, RFIs, budget updates, schedules, construction documents, and anything else the Owner would like to have on record.
project savings & reimbursements • All savings for both reimbursable expenses and the cost of construction (including contingencies) are returned 100% to the Owner. • We do not need any financial incentive to provide the best value for our customers.
Tracking costs • At the very beginning when the GMP is established, we will provide a detailed cost estimate that lists all project costs. • This estimate is then transferred into our Budget Update report as the “Estimated Costs” and the report is updated and provided monthly.
managing change orders • We take great pride in managing project costs and protecting our clients’ finances. • Change orders are aggressively challenged before being submitted to our clients.
competitive bids for subcontracted work • We treat subcontractors fairly and respect the lowest qualified bidder; by doing this we always get the most competitive bids. • We work diligently to make sure that the project receives at least three bids in every scope using only qualified subcontractors. • We make regular contact with any pre-qualified subs to update them on the project’s pre-con process and to ensure they are still maintaining interest in the project. • We will implement any MWBE goals for the project if it has received grants or incentives that require it.
quality control • Before work begins, we meet with subs to refresh the discussions held at the de-scoping meeting and review submittal statuses, specifications, and overall expectations. • After the work has started, our superintendent will regularly review the in-place work to verify its quality and compliance with the contract documents and that sufficient progress is being made to maintain the schedule.
safety Safety is our number one priority. We have a full-time safety team responsible for training, monitoring and enforcing our safety policies for our employees, subcontractors and vendors. We provide a full copy of the Hayner Hoyt safety program detailing all policies and procedures at the start of every project.

The 172,000 square foot new construction features furnished apartments, study rooms, and an extensive fitness center. This 198 bed facility is a four-story wood frame structure with specially developed stainless steel siding. Logistically challenging because of the confined urban setting, the unleveled construction site required significant structured fills and retaining walls to bring the ground to the proper grade.

Beginning in September 2011, we worked to construct building series 1, 2 and 4. Building 1 was designed to match the appearance of the existing Casa Roma apartment building we built in 2003. Buildings 2 and 4 run along opposite ends of the East State Street site. Each building has its own personality and was designed to emulate the unique character of Ithaca’s historic homes.

The serpentine-shaped building was constructed on the side of a hill with tight space constraints under a demanding 11-month turnaround time. The building showcases a challenging structural feat with 8-foot windows along curved walls.
