I realize picture 2 is misleading because I did not explain. That is the start of an expansion but we haven’t even opened the first part. Today the project manager told me we would get certificate of occupancy on August 24. Then state ed has to approve. We have a strong plan Between Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Far ★ Posted August 14, 2019 Share #7 Posted August 14, 2019 Well the landscaping is nice. Had to build an expansion before they completed the main building? Wowzers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t even think I know what LD is? flooring is not all down. Sinks and toilets are mostly not in. Electric switches aren’t all in. IT starts tomorrow to do their finish work, wires are pulled.

You've got this all wrong. All I do is farm stuff out. In Aire's case, I'll be sure not to hire my friend as he tends to run over budget. If you want anything faster, there's a substantial cost for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Posted August 14, 2019 Share #18 Posted August 14, 2019 Take it from someone who has been a project manager for over 20 years now - probably. It’ll be turned over for beneficial occupancy, but final inspection and commissioning will still be going on... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you folks have a ready supply of "portables" at the ready? Who needs brick and mortar when trailers do the job just fine! I would be interested in knowing how you guys go about building new schools? Around here, it seems like everyone is different, while it sort of seems like it would make a whole lot of sense to have one or two elementary school floor plans, a middle school template, and a high school template. Any new school would be just like the last new one of its type built, and all the lessons learned would be applicable to the new build. Estimates and build times would also be more accurate (and reduced). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids aren't going to be learning much because the siders will be hammering on the exterior. Looks like metal siding? That makes a big racket going on @2Far can show the kids how to use the drywall buckets as toilets #notkidding 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
