Pyne Construction originally interviewed to provide Construction Management Services on this project in 2006. We were not selected. In the Spring of 2007 the project architect asked us to look at the project to see if we could Value Engineer it into the owners budget. We did and were able to provide substitutions and alternates with a GMP. We met again with the vestry people, reviewed our program and started work. The project consists of a total renovation of approximately 3,000 SF of lower level common space into a fully compliant day care center. The project value is $550,000.00 and includes new HVAC and electrical systems, new accessible toilet rooms and training rooms, a food service area, three separate classrooms, and extensive waterproofing of stone foundation walls. Additionally, a new second egress is being created working within the restraints of massive stone walls. The schedule is four months. Weekly meetings with the client and his architects have put into clear focus our team builders approach.
