Xaverian Brothers High School engaged Ted Gentry Associates as the owner’s project manager as the project was gearing up for an aggressive completion date. We were charged with managing the most effective solution to achieving the completion and occupancy working with the school administration, building committee, architect and construction manager and financing institution. Working with the project team Ted Gentry Associates managed the process of maintaining the GMP, quality of the design and construction and getting the school into the new facility on time while not interrupting their Spring graduation ceremonies.

As scheduling and phasing of the work was critical in the implementation of this plan, the plan was developed to maintain the currently very busy and heavily used facility while the new addition was constructed adjacent to it. The project was a negotiated GMP with FW Madigan as construction manager who had done previous successful work with Xaverian Brothers High School.

The project was completed on schedule for the Fall of 2014.
