Our work on the Sierra Nevada College Prim Library is an example of working with an Owner and Design Team to provide the best value. When the original competitive bids were opened the project was $1,000,000 over budget. Rather than start over, the College engaged United Construction to work closely with the owner and design team to perform constructability reviews and value engineer components of the design to find ways to reduce costs without compromising the quality of the project. This collaborative effort continued throughout the duration of the project resulting in a library that maintained its original design intent, but was completed for 8% less than the Owner’s original budget.
