Rise on Chauncey
TRANSFORMING CHALLENGES INTO VALUE
When Brinkmann stepped in to take over this project from another general contractor shortly before construction was scheduled to begin, the team immediately identified solutions to address significant budget overages. Taking swift action, our experts completely redesigned the below-grade earth retention and foundations system—a strategic innovation that reduced the budget by $750,000 while simultaneously cutting two months from the construction schedule.
Our commitment to value engineering didn’t stop there. The Brinkmann team identified and implemented additional cost-saving solutions throughout the project, reducing the budget by an additional $850,000 without compromising quality or design integrity.
