CONSTRUCTION
people have the right tools and a clear
path to do their work . We make sure to engage all the stakeholders – universities
facilities , administration , athletics all the way to the end user , all in a room with our people and the sub-contractors .” Ensuring that all parties involved in the expansion project are informed of the latest best practices , Turner Construction takes a top down approach . Wildt explains : “ On a project level , it starts with me and if I am not living and breathing it then nobody else
will . On a company level it starts with our executive leadership and works down .”
This more holistic approach even extends to how the company conducts its meetings :
“ We try to run all of our meetings no longer in the old school way where the superintendent will come in and throw a schedule on the table telling the subs this is what you have to do .

“ WE WERE SELECTED

BECAUSE OF THE PLANNING WE DID AND THE THOUGHT WE PUT INTO HOW THE EXISTING BUILDING WOULD TIE IN WITH THE NEW EXPANSION ”
