7 Analysis 1 Final Recommendations 1. Give Authority to the CM to Approve Changes 2. Purchase Preconstruction Services II. III. Analysis 2 Precast Panel Implementation 446 Change Quotes Investigated Recommendation - Permit CM to Approve Changes Original Schedule: 349 with Associated Costs 198 worth less than $10, Month Average Response Time CQ's<$10,000 (198) $5,000<CQ<$10,000 (81) $525, $818, Total Value Actual Schedule: + Early trade involvement for intense MEP coordination + Utilize project team s healthcare experience + Improve design efficiency for all stakeholders + Reduction of rework + Significantly reduce management time + Reduce turnaround time for large changes + Better cash flow for subcontractors CQ's<$5,000 (117) $293, $0 $200,000 $400,000 $600,000 $800,000 $1,000, Implement an Alternate Change Review Process

8 Analysis 2 Precast Panel Implementation II. III. Analysis 2 Precast Panel Implementation Precast Panel Comparison to Traditional Brick Advantages Faster installation for schedule savings Stronger and more durable than brick façade and tougher to penetrate More favorable working conditions and no weather issues during fabrication Higher quality product produced off-site Panels typically have better insulation properties Disadvantages Higher upfront cost to fabricate panels Often requires heavier structural support members Can be less aesthetically pleasing due to less imperfections and more joints Customization of panels can significantly increases cost Can require multiple cranes depending on panel sizes Problem: Weather and Constructability Issues Impact Schedule Original: Actual: VS. Vertical + Lower panel count + Less connections - High level of customization Horizontal + Easier to handle + More repetition - Significant panel count

9 Structural and Mechanical Breadth Studies Structural Steel: Wall R Values (Winter) 3.5" Face Brick 7 Precast Panels Conclusion II. III. Analysis 2 Precast Panel Implementation R o - Outside Air Barrier R 1-3 1/2" Face Brick (R=0.11 per inch) Alternate R 1-7" Precast Panel with Thin Brick R 2-1 7/8" Air Space R 3-2" Rigid Insulation (R=5 per inch) R 4 - Vapor Barrier Negligible Negligible R 5-1/2" Gypsum Sheathing Structure: Structural upgrades not required due to building size Axial loading does not control structural design Foundations: Spread Footing: Strip Footing: R 6-6" Metal Stud / 6" Batt Insulation R R 7-5/8" Gypsum Sheathing R i - Inside Air Film (Vertical Position, Horizontal Heat Flow) Total R Uavg or Total U (1/R) Mechanical: Panels will provide slightly better thermal properties Current system design is acceptable Proper measures are required to prevent thermal bridging: Stainless Steel Shim Plates Plastic Shims Silicone Joint Sealant

10 Analysis 2 Precast Panel Implementation Schedule Analysis II. III. Analysis 2 Precast Panel Implementation Horizontal Panels More practical High Unit Price 244 total panels 15 panels per day Eliminates Brick Ties Easier vapor barrier installation System Cost Comparison Precast Panel System $1,257, Masonry Façade $1,131, Proposed Precast Additional Cost $125,814.37

11 Analysis 2 Final Recommendation Schedule Savings Final Recommendation II. III. Analysis 2 Precast Panel Implementation Proposed Schedule Savings Days Weeks Months Activity Savings Schedule Savings General Conditions Costs Total Savings (1.5 Months) $295, Additional Crane Cost $44, Total GC Cost Savings $251, Implement precast panels Current systems won t be impacted Final Cost Comparison Summary Proposed System Cost $1,257, Additional Crane Cost $44, Actual System Cost $1,131,376 General Conditions Savings $295, Total Cost Savings $125, Schedule savings are greatest benefit!

12 Analysis 3 Use of Virtual Mock-Ups for SIPS II. Original Schedule: Problem: Building Connection Constructability Issues III. Analysis 2 Precast Panel Implementation Actual Schedule: Case Study: Tyson s Corner 32 Rooms 110 Changes Total cost: $38,000 Owner benefit only Solution: EMSEAL

13 Analysis 3 Use of Virtual Mock-Ups for SIPS Traditional SIPS II. III. Analysis 2 Precast Panel Implementation One specific operation is analyzed A much higher level of detail is needed Personnel input and commitment is required from all + Reach level of detail necessary to maximize efficiency Additional Man-Hours for Building Tie-In Activity Time (hr.) Crew Size Man-hours Insert 5/16 Bent Plate Place Concrete/Expansion Joint Total Man-Hours 20

14 Analysis 3 Final Recommendation II. Cost/Benefit of Analysis Proposal Potential Value Added: III. Analysis 2 Precast Panel Implementation Strong visualization and communication tool for all parties 2.5 Hrs. BIM Champ 1 Hr. Superintendent 20 Man-Hrs. Saved $1,700 - Potential savings $2, ($307.25) Proposed Coordination Cost Proposed Labor Savings Subcontractor feedback and proper preparation Eliminate coordination issues Show end users how existing building will be impacted Perform premium-rate work the most efficient way possible Cause as little disturbance for building occupants $2,500 $1,500 $500 ($500) Associated Cost

15 Analysis 4 Modularization Comparison II. III. Analysis 2 Precast Panel Implementation Problem: Modular headwall units used were very labor intensive vs. Labor Savings (Man-Hours) Activity Average Unit Durations (hr.)

16 Analysis 4 Modularization Comparison Final Recommendation II. III. Analysis 2 Precast Panel Implementation Current System Cost Breakdown Cost Comparison of Modular Units With chosen design, modules can only benefit the project 19.3% 24.2% 56.5% Unit Cost Labor Cost Material Cost 47% Savings Value Proposed Cost Recommend for future projects Reduces labor Improving quality Streamlines MEP rough-ins If half the time saved shortened critical path, general conditions savings would greatly offset cost Associated Cost

17 Conclusion & Recommendations Analysis 3 Use of Virtual Mock-Ups for SIPS II. III. Analysis 2 Precast Panel Implementation Shortens Schedule Improves Efficiency 1. Give Authority to the CM to Approve Changes 2. Purchase Preconstruction Services 3. Implement an Alternate Change Review Process + Early trade involvement for intense MEP coordination + Significantly reduce management time + Better cash flow for subcontractors + Potential savings of $1,700 + Strong visualization and communication tool + Subcontractor feedback + Show end users how existing building will be impacted + Perform premium-rate work the most efficient way possible Increases Collaboration Analysis 2 Precast Panel Implementation Analysis 4 Modularization Comparison Streamlines Processes Proposed Schedule Savings Days Weeks Months Activity Savings Schedule Savings General Conditions Costs Total Savings (1.5 Months) $295, Additional Crane Cost $44, Total GC Cost Savings $251, Total cost savings: $125, Structural upgrades not required + Panels have better thermal characteristics + Current mechanical system is acceptable Cost Comparison of Modular Units 47% Associated Cost Savings Value Proposed Cost Recommend for future projects + Reduces labor + Improving quality + Streamlines MEP rough-ins
