Project Rewind: Assuming Risk to Meet Deadlines at Denver's Central Platte Campus Project Rewind: Assuming Risk to Meet Deadlines at Denver's Central Platte Campus 2024-04-22 Share Share Meeting project deadlines is often a challenging task, especially when faced with unexpected hurdles and urgent end dates. However, with careful planning and a proactive approach, a responsible and dedicated contractor can overcome these challenges to ensure a timely completion. During the design-build-team procurement and selection phase of the Denver Central Platte Campus project, Pinkard recognized that this multi-phased project included a critical, early-phase milestone that could not be met given the City’s team-selection schedule. In other words: if the Pinkard design-build (D-B) team was selected to build the project, by the time they received notice of project award, it would already be too late to meet the first milestone. However, the team recognized that the key to overcoming this “Catch-22" challenge was found in the City’s complicated planning and zoning process: If the Pinkard design-build team’s proposed design could be submitted for initial planning review well before project-award, there was a chance that the first critical project milestone could be met. But this plan came with the risk and expense of getting the design before the planning board with no guarantee that the City would select the Pinkard design-build team to construct the project. True to the spirit of design-build best practices, Pinkard assumed this risk for the benefit of the project and scheduled a series of meetings with the authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) to get design review and initial approvals for the site plan - even before Pinkard’s design-build proposal was even presented to the project selection committee. This bold move allowed Pinkard to proceed with permitting on the first stage just in time to commence construction after the property's title was transferred to the City. The second key involved assuming more risks by placing orders for long-lead equipment while Pinkard was still in contract negotiations with the City. These two gambles paid off, allowing Pinkard to finish the first two phases on time and the third and final phase ahead of schedule. As a result of the Pinkard D-B team’s proactive dedication to project success, the Central Platte Campus project received national accolades from a variety of industry trade groups including a first-place National Excellence in Construction award from Associated Builders and Contractors, a national Design-Build Excellence award from the Design-Build Institute of America, and the national Brownfield Renewal Award for Environmental Impact . Pinkard Construction Co. is a Lakewood-based, employee-owned CM/GC and design-builder with a long history of exceptional performance for municipal clients across the Colorado Front Range.

How to Avoid the Key Pitfalls in Multifamily Wood Framing How to Avoid the Key Pitfalls in Multifamily Wood Framing 2024-01-10 Share Share Wood framing is a critical multifamily construction scope requiring attention and expertise. However, it can also be risky, causing quality issues and schedule delays if not appropriately managed. This is why Pinkard Construction has launched a new framing division, Pinkard Frameworks , to address these challenges. Recently, Pinkard President Tony Burke and Pinkard Frameworks Manager Dan Harris sat down to discuss the problem with wood framing and the solutions Pinkard can offer. In this division, professionals with in-depth framing knowledge work closely with the design team and key suppliers to ensure framing designs meet architectural and structural intent, constructability, and seamless integration with other trades. Pinkard Frameworks has dedicated framing professionals who can lead subcontractors and interface with the project superintendent to catch minor issues before they become significant problems. Ultimately, taking ownership and responsibility for the wood framing process is the key to success in commercial multifamily construction. Q: Wood framing is said to be one of the riskiest scopes in commercial construction. What makes it so risky? Tony Burke: Wood framing is a unique process that requires a lot of attention and expertise. If not managed properly, it can cause problems that cascade into other trades, leading to quality issues and schedule delays. This is what makes our new framing division so important; our clients, developer partners, design professionals and fellow general contractors can benefit from partnering with such a dedicated and specialized team. Dan Harris: Another potential issue is that very few wood framing subcontractors can be bonded. This is proof that the process is risky and requires someone to take ownership. That is why I am so happy to be a part of this new division, Pinkard Frameworks. Q: What is the solution to these problems? Tony Burke: The solution is to take ownership of the wood framing process. This means involving a general contractor with in-depth framing knowledge and their key suppliers, especially truss fabricators, with the design team. This collaboration results in framing designs that meet architectural and structural intent, ensure constructability, and seamless integration with other trades. Dan Harris: A critical aspect of this is cultivating relationships with vendors and holding them to project specifications. This approach ensures quality and saves owners money. Q: Can you give an example of how this approach has worked in the past? Tony Burke: Pinkard’s recent efforts on Krisana Affordable Housing created a framing design that saved the owner over $250,000. Dan Harris: Another example is Pinkard’s recent preconstruction efforts for Boulder County Housing Authority’s project, Willoughby Corner. The initial design was a unique, modern design that required complex engineering. We took the time to work with the design team to understand the factors driving the design decisions. We developed more economical solutions without sacrificing the overall look of the building. Q: What role does on-site supervision play in ensuring successful wood framing? Dan Harris: Experienced and attentive on-site supervision is crucial. A dedicated framing professional who leads the Framing Subcontractor and interfaces directly with the project superintendent can catch minor issues before they become major problems. This level of supervision ensures the project stays on track and all team members are held accountable for their work. Tony Burke: On-site framing supervisors must have the knowledge and authority to make quick decisions and adjustments, saving time and money. Q: In summary, what is the key to success in wood framing? Tony Burke: Having a team who not only understands the wood framing process start to finish but also takes ownership and responsibility for its success is essential for ensuring that your wood frame project is delivered smoothly on schedule, competitively priced and is a quality build that will last you decades. Q: Finally, can you tell us more about Pinkard Frameworks? Tony Burke: It’s a wood framing division of Pinkard Construction that will serve as a trade partner to developers and general contractors along the Colorado front range. We are thrilled to have Dan as our new Wood Frame Manager. His 40 years of experience have really let this division hit the ground running. Dan Harris: We will continue to self-perform wood framing for Pinkard projects, but other projects will be supported by Pinkard’s Self-Performance Department, including our team of superintendents, carpenters and foremen.

Rescuing a Renovation: Sloan's Lake Rehabilitation Center Rescuing a Renovation: Sloan's Lake Rehabilitation Center 2023-08-01 Share Share The Sloan’s Lake Care and Rehabilitation Center project at Sloan’s Lake Medical Center in Denver was intended to be a dramatic upgrade to allow for enhanced patient care within a new, state-of-the-art facility. The scope of work in the six-story building included a complete gut and renovation of the fifth and sixth floors into a skilled nursing facility. Work also included improvements to the 6,800-sf ground floor with a new full-commercial kitchen to service the fifth and sixth floors, physical therapy space, reception, and office areas. The project also included minimal demo and finish work for a 1,000-sf laundry facility to service laundry from the first, fifth, and sixth-floor operations. The project was on a fast-tracked August 2011 to March 2012 schedule to allow Sloan’s Lake to take advantage of some lease-related cost savings. A California-based general contractor was hired to perform the work but was terminated in March 2012 due to insufficient progress . Insufficient progress meant the GC was near the end of the schedule but had not yet completed demolition. Hoping to “save the day,” owner Ensign Facility Services brought Pinkard Construction Company on board in April 2012. With the understanding that no preconstruction would be necessary, a quick demo completion and prompt build-out commencement would allow the project to be completed neat and tidy in mid-June 2012. As Pinkard began discovery in April, unsettling signs of asbestos were seen in areas that were supposed to be clean. Fearing the worst, Pinkard enlisted an independent consultant to advise on the work area's alleged “all clean” condition. After careful assessment by the consultant, the site was declared a “major spill” of asbestos contamination. The site was sealed, the existing tenant immediately vacated the entire 4th floor, and the fifth and sixth floors were put under full containment. This second abatement effort was almost double the original cost and scope due to the spill and resultant contamination of duct and elevator shafts, plenum spaces, etc. It also took nearly two additional months to complete. While abatement was underway and demolition at a standstill, an examination of the design documents revealed that the design, which was produced by an out-of-state architect, was far from complete, even to the point of not providing for mechanical, electrical and plumbing drawings. Pinkard worked with Ensign to constantly monitor this deficient situation, and the design and previously non-existent MEP drawings slowly developed. Pinkard also worked with Ensign and the out-of-state architect to establish a mid-May due date for construction documents that could be submitted for permit and let out for bidding. Acceptable construction documents were received June 22, and associated permits were September 4 following many rounds of revisions. Pinkard and Ensign launched an extensive preconstruction effort over the summer without a completed design or permit-able drawings. Pinkard provided comprehensive budgeting, estimating and value engineering services to establish a GMP. Despite significant favorable progress, the team decided in July it would be in the project’s best interest to hire local architect Intergroup to perform construction administration. With so much time lost due to the additional abatement and getting the design up to speed, when Pinkard was finally allowed back on-site, double-shift, six-day work weeks were implemented. Beginning Sept 4, the fourth floor ceilings were rebuilt, and the entire floor was repainted, with turnover for occupancy October 1. During this time fifth-floor waste piping for the new fifth floor bathrooms was roughed-in. First floor demolition and construction was a very sensitive issue because Pinkard was working directly beneath a fully occupied, second-floor intensive care unit. Any systems shutdown would impact intensive care operations. This situation required Pinkard and Intergroup to carefully examine as-built drawings, and open and examine existing shafts, mainline stacks, and medical-gas stacks to prevent inadvertent shut downs to intensive care above. Pinkard also collaborated closely with Xcel to avoid a shutdown of natural gas during a gas meter upsizing. Pinkard continued to make expeditious progress with a strong construction plan, an involved construction administrator in Intergroup Architects, and a committed owner. Construction ran from September 4 to December 17, 2012. Project Manager Cale Wester, Ensign Facility Services: “Although every project is going to have its ups and downs, I don’t think anyone anticipated this many “downs” when we first started. The great finish we enjoyed is a credit to Ensign, Pinkard, and Intergroup Architects’ strong commitment to team-building...it saved this project. Sloan’s Lake and Ensign are very proud of what this team was able to accomplish, and this facility is already making a difference in our patients’ lives.” The completed facility contains 42 private suites with floor-to-ceiling windows for stunning city and mountain views in all rooms; state-of-the-art rehabilitation gyms with AlterG antigravity body-weight treadmills and Pilates Reformer.

Pinkard Selected to Renovate Historic Machebeuf Hall at Loretto Heights Campus Pinkard Selected to Renovate Historic Machebeuf Hall at Loretto Heights Campus 2025-01-17 Share Share Denver nonprofit group Commún has selected Pinkard Construction to renovate the 39,000 square foot Machebeuf Hall on the Loretto Heights campus. The announcement came as part of a press conference celebrating the award of a $20 million grant from the Environmental Protection Agency, which included remarks from community members and the likes of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, Denver Councilman Kevin Flynn, and Colorado Senators John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet. “ We came together because we knew we could do this and find a new path where we could all thrive,” said Comm ú n co-founder Margaret Bugger in her remarks . “A large part of this is a sense of belonging, and we hope you feel that you belong when you come here. May this community center be a place where we come to share our challenges, where we bring our strengths, and where we celebrate joy.” From Left to Right: Danielle Short, Interpreter; Senator Michael Bennett; Martha Lopez, Commún Co-founder; Council Member Kevin Flynn; Denver Mayor Michael Johnston; KC Becker, EPA Region 8 Administrator; Senator John Hickenlooper; Aleshay Garcia, Climate Organizer at Commún; Margaret Brugger, Commún Co-Founder; Andrea Savage, Commún Co-Founder Slated to become Loretto Heights Community Center , the 75-year-old, two-story Machebeuf Hall renovation project will include a major retrofit of the existing mechanical system, a commercial kitchen renovation, development of a new dining hall and food bank, a coffee shop, classrooms and activity rooms for things like ESL and yoga classes, a small business incubator, a community garden, and office buildouts for various social services and community groups. Community and social services programming is expected to include childcare, a grocery store, and mental health services. “Our entire team has been captivated by this project,” said Pinkard president, Tony Burke. “The builders in us are excited for the technical challenges ahead. The historians in us are excited to honor a beautiful piece of Colorado history by giving new life to Machebeuf Hall. And as members of this community, we are thrilled to be a part of creating this important, special space that means so much to so many.” Interior renovations on this former cafeteria and student union building are the primary scope of work and will also include an extensive program to protect existing architectural features that include stained glass, a statue of the Virgin Mary, intricate woodwork and metalwork detailing, terrazzo tile, and vintage all-natural linoleum flooring. Pinkard was selected following a four-phased CM/GC procurement process that included a complete, transparent 30% construction document estimate. A phased construction start is anticipated for March 2025 and will include owner-contracted abatement, an intensive discovery phase, and interior demolition. The anticipated construction budget is $27.6 million. Pinkard will collaborate with owners' representative Collective Potential and Anderson Mason Dale Architects to finalize construction documents. This project is being designed with a large focus on sustainability, community input, and a goal of Zero Carbon Certification . The facility is also designed to operate as a disaster refuge, capable of feeding and housing people while keeping the lights on in the event of a power grid failure and maintaining indoor air quality in the event of wildfire smoke. In addition to the newly awarded funding from the Environmental Protection Agency, funding for the project partially comes from grants from Denver’s Office of Economic Development & Opportunity and The Gates Family Foundation. Founded in South Denver in 1891 by the Sisters of Loretto, Loretto Heights College began as Loretto Heights Academy, a Catholic elementary and secondary school for girls. The campus later evolved into a teaching college for women, then a four-year women’s college, and eventually a full, multi-program and multi-gender university. The 72-acre Loretto Heights school campus closed in 2017 after 126 years in operation. The site is home to a series of beautiful brick structures, some marked on the National Historic Register, as well as a cemetery for the original Sisters of Loretto. These existing amenities have all been incorporated for enhancement within the new development plan, which includes the current Machebeuf Hall project.

I know that when (prospective) patients tour the building they will choose us because it’s such a beautiful facility. I would want my mother to stay there."
