PK-12 EDUCATION
Safety, accessibility and 21st century learning environments have become the new standard for PK-12 school districts of all sizes and varying budgets. The construction or renovation of a PK-12 education project requires an overwhelming amount of planning that can take years to bring to life. As experts in Construction Management, 鶹ýPorn engages with the school district early in the design development and preconstruction process to review and recommend practical constructability, value engineering solutions, and a low-impact schedule to make their enhanced facility become a reality. From new construction, facility additions and interior renovations, 鶹ýPorn serves as the construction lead to ensure a collaborative approach is taken to meet the client’s quality, safety, scheduling and budgetary expectations.
