After completion of the ThedaCare Regional Cancer Center, the Fox Valley provides close-to-home cancer care for its surrounding communities.  The utilization of pitch planning allowed all trade partners to flow through the installation process with greater efficiency and helped to facilitate timely fabrication and assembly deliveries.  The successful integration and collaboration of the team was critical due to a tight, 1-year schedule allotted for design and construction completion.

With Tweet/Garot as the engineer of record, we were able to provide the owner with the lowest cost, top tier operating mechanical system, all while meeting the schedule.

Design/Build: Preconstruction Methods

• BIM: Multi-trade coordination resulting in fewer RFI’s, change orders and reduction in overall project install schedule.
• Pitch Planning: Allowed quicker hand-off of project areas to incoming team members, creating a shorter overall schedule duration.
• Component Teams: Removed obstacles and aligned resources to enhance communication and create buy-in.
• A3: Lean Construction tool used to analyze systems and equipment for maximized operational performance in a continuous improvement environment.
• Prefabrication: Utilizing hanger racks across trades resulted in reduced on-site labor and materials costs to the owner.
