A Big Win for Denver Health

When Denver Health needed a new Outpatient Medical Center (OMC) to augment their flagship hospital, they brought the design team, including architecture firm (HKS), the structural engineer (S.A. Miro, Inc.), and general contractor (Turner Construction) on board at the same time. In conjunction with the owner and design team, Turner Construction selected several key trade partners using a Target Value Design procurement method during Schematic Design; amongst them, Drake-Williams Steel (Steel Fabricator) and LPR Construction (Erector). This method fostered an atmosphere of collaboration that promoted greater involvement by the contractor and subcontractors to inform the design to meet the owner’s needs and, perhaps more importantly, the budget.
