Project Executive John Calvin discusses Skanska ’ s aim to develop and expand the University Hospital in Virginia by utilising key technologies and utilising a highly skilled workforce
COULD YOU PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF YOUR ROLE WITHIN THIS NEW EXCITING PROJECT ?
After becoming fortunate enough to win the project , I became part of the construction management ( CM ) team to help facilitate the design scope and cost as the constructor . University of Virginia Health System had the vision to procure designers and construction managers early in the Schematic Design phases . During the design phase , I led the Skanska team and participated with the designers to work on scheduling , cost estimating , cost trending , assembling Design-Assist subcontractors , value management , constructability analysis , construction phasing and document reviews .
I managed the procurement phase to secure a team of qualified subcontractors to work directly for Skanska . The construction phase services include construction administration and full responsibility for the successful completion of all construction .
