Special or unusual problems encountered:
Compressed schedule created short duration for completion of entire scope of work. Concurrent landscape installation activities were needed on all levels simultaneously requiring intensive management and coordination efforts. Early removal of tower crane required hoisting & handling of materials via mobile cranes, elevators and stairs requiring considerable additional labor resources. Little to no staging/storage area required additional coordination for just in time deliveries of most materials. Very congested site with many trades and limited access required increased coordination and planning efforts. Out of state travel for materials review and selection with design team.
