On Thursday, November 29th, 2012 Nicholas Macy (ARCADIS Senior Project Manager/Agency CM) with Chris Hamel (BIM Manager with Consigli Construction/CM @ Risk) provided a Design & Construction Presentation at the University of Hartford, Construction Institute, on the new $114M Putnam Vocational Technical Academy in Springfield, MA. Discussed roles, responsibilities, and problem solving approaches in managing this amazing project. Discussed the detailed comprehensive logistics and schedules that were developed to carefully phase the active construction on the new 315,000sf facility, without disrupting the 1,400 students on campus. A portion of the new facility was within 25-ft of the existing school building on the active campus, along with the demolition of the existing facility, with the relocation of students, faculty and staff into the new building. The question and answer portion of the presentation focused on “Real World Issues” facing young professionals beginning their careers in construction, with the students considering careers in Design Construction and Facilities Management.

9. Project Case Study
Session Objectives – Outline
Our Discussion items:
ARCADIS’ Project Approach: Owner’s Rep./OPM
• To create and maintain an environment in which the
design and construction teams can perform at their
absolute best.
• Be a true a non-bias arbitrator of the project documents
• To monitor the project, on behalf of the Owner, so as to
proactively identify and implement opportunities to
improve the success of the project.
• Knowing what lies in each team members interests,
needs, and concerns

10. Project Case Study
Consigli | Morganti: Project Challenges

22. Summary Wrap-up
Outline
Our Discussion items:
1. Preconstruction Phase: Understand that proactive collaboration and
communication with the Owner in the Preconstruction Phase can
create opportunities for new ways to manage facilities.
2. Tools for the Lifetime of the Facility: Learn how current technologies
create forward thinking usages for Public Owners to maintain facilities
and the advantages for CMs who can deliver these benefits to Owners.
Innovate the way public owners leverage the use of 3D Intelligent
Models.
3. Owner Advocate: Understand that Owners are driving the design &
construction process for deliverables of more than just a new building.
Every project needs to have an Advocate.
