J.B. Denny Company has a proven track record in working with Architects to value engineer complex projects both during design development and during construction. All three of our projects for Olympia Development Corporation; Reflections IV, Ticketmaster and the Convergence Office building required intense value engineering in order to meet the budget restraints. In all three cases, we were involved with the architect, engineers and owner’s representative well in advance of the start of construction, preparing preliminary budget estimates in order to assist the owner with major design decisions. With the Convergence office building, we are still working with the Owner and Architect on major design changes at the end of April, 2000 with the steel erection in progress. On the Chesapeake Medical Building, we had a very tight budget which was established upfront with no contingency. We were able to stay within the budget in spite of placing the structural steel order just ten weeks prior to when erection had to begin in order to meet the schedule. In addition severe weather delayed the site development for several weeks in early September, 1999 and the project was still delivered on time.
