When USF&G found themselves only 10 months from needing an 850 space parking facility, and with the design at only 50% Design Development Documents, they hired Schafer as the project Construction Manager. In addition to constructibility reviews, value engineering, scheduling and cost control, Schafer recommended a fast track approach utilizing architectural precast concrete and an invited, select group of contractors. Despite poor soil conditions, restricted work hours, a blizzard, and the wettest year in history, the project reached it’s milestone of occupancy while remaining below the project construction budget.
