SUPERIOR AMBULANCE HEADQUARTERS
Elmhurst, IL - Construction Services
Two years before our construction team was brought into the project, Superior Ambulance had started work on their new headquarters – and then halted it when it became obvious that the building as designed would exceed the $25 million budget. At this point, the building’s structural skeleton was partially completed and ready for the placement of concrete decks. We value engineered the design and suggested improvements based on our knowledge of successful commercial properties. Superior elected to scrap the existing plans and commissioned us to implement a new design that retained the existing structure. Acquiring necessary construction materials proved challenging as a direct result of hurricane Katrina-related shortages. Our long-term relationships with suppliers and patronage of local firms helped expedite deliveries to complete the building in line with Superior’s tight timeline.
