Royal was brought into the project after the slab on grade work had already begun.  Our teams had to quickly reevaluate our conduit run locations and coordinate with the general contractorso we could timely execute the changed scope while keeping the project on schedule.

Other specific challenges included:

• Scheduling —Multi-family projects require coordination between many different subcontractors, especially on a project of this size.  Coordinating the schedule around third-party delays, inclement weather, or approval of owner-issued design changes required constant collaboration.
• Feeders — For various reasons, activities on the project were re-sequenced, causing Royal to react quickly to re-plan and execute our work.  Delays to installation of the exterior building envelope resulted in later sequencing of drywall installation – and this impacted Royal’s ability to install feeders to the unit panels as planned.  Royal coordinated with the general contractor, inspector and other trades to work around the schedule issues and install our work as soon as possible.
• Lighting and Controls — The specifications called for an extensive lighting system on the project, with significant decorative lighting for the common areas, leasing office, mail room, fitness center and lounge.  The comprehensive lighting control system provided multiple control capabilities for the lighting and required detailed planning for proper installation.
