Advancing Healthcare Infrastructure: VA Outpatient Medical Clinic, Sebring Florida
Project Details:
Type: VA Outpatient Medical Clinic
Location: Sebring, Florida
Duration: 2023-2024
In our capacity as a Self-performing Contractor, Easy Shell Construction proudly presents a pivotal project – the VA Outpatient Medical Clinic in Sebring, Florida. This venture, spanning from 2023 to 2024, reflects our commitment to delivering cutting-edge medical facilities. As the Self-performing Contractor, we undertook a significant responsibility in ensuring the successful realization of the VA Outpatient Medical Clinic.
The Challenge:
The project presented a unique set of challenges, being federally funded with designs originating from Denver and a client based in North Carolina. This geographical disparity posed a distinct challenge for construction in the South Florida region.
Innovation:
Undeterred by the challenges, we implemented innovative solutions to optimize the project. Originally designed with a red steel structure and a structural light gauge steel skeleton covered by concrete masonry, we recognized opportunities for improvement. By redesigning with insulated tilt-panel concrete panels, we achieved significant cost savings, amounting to $1,000,000 in construction costs.
Furthermore, a strategic adjustment from a single 50-ton rooftop unit to five 10-ton rooftop units not only saved an additional $500,000 but also made the project more feasible for local maintenance. This proactive approach to design modification ensured efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability to local conditions.
The VA Outpatient Medical Clinic project stands as a testament to Easy Shell Construction’s ability to navigate complex challenges and deliver optimal solutions. Our role as a Self-performing Contractor allowed us to bring innovation to the forefront, transforming an initially challenging project into a successful and cost-effective healthcare facility. This venture underscores our commitment to advancing healthcare infrastructure and creating spaces that serve the needs of communities with excellence.
