What is at stake.
Labor and delivery runs every hour of every day, and the NICU expansion connects directly to it. Infection prevention rules, vibration limits near infants and a donor-funded opening date all shape the sequence. Early contractor schedules carried the phases as long bars with no ties between them.
How we control it.
What our schedulers and cost engineers are doing on this project.
Phasing made logical
We broke each phase into rooms and turnovers and tied them by logic, so the effect of one late room on the next phase is visible.
Clinical constraints
ICRA classes, vibration limits and quiet hours are coded into the schedule, so work that breaks a rule cannot be scheduled by accident.
Recovery when needed
When steel arrived late, we priced two recovery options and showed the owner the trade-off before anyone committed.
Donor reporting
Monthly narratives give the foundation a plain, honest update it can share with donors.
Where it stands.
A phase drawn as one long bar hides every risk inside it. We broke it into rooms so the risks had somewhere to show up.
