Bay Area Medical Center provides the Marinette area with an astonishing upgrade and expansion of their patient care experience. Engagement as an early trade partner allowed Tweet/Garot to proactively provide the MEP and architectural team cost implications and constructability analysis prior to the construction documents. Using pitch planning and trade installation phasing, labor savings are being experienced by all project partners. This effort by the project team has allowed the owner to realize $7,000,000 worth of savings over a typical hospital construction project.

Project Approach

• BIM: BIM schedule included dates for design team to turnover portions of the building to trade partners while integrating Robotic Total Station into the construction schedule
• Pitch Planning: Utilized Trade by Trade weekly schedules to reduce onsite congestion of multiple trades working in the same area at the same time
• A3: Used to analyze HVAC components and systems resulting in utilization of chilled beams in the patient tower based on energy efficiency
• Prefabrication: Multi-trade racking allowed all trade partners to effectively reduce on-site labor and target modularization of equipment skids within the CUP
