Our vast array of experience with both K-12 and higher education clients includes projects ranging from library/information centers and research facilities to athletic complexes and boys and girls clubs. The scope of work and services delivered is also diverse: from renovations of existing structures as a contractor to a provider of construction management services for new facilities. Most recently, we began working with the Ohio Schools Facilities Commission (OSFC) to deliver over 300,000 sf of new educational space to four individual school districts. As the construction manager, services provided will include: management of the architectural/design process from schematic design through completion, scheduling, cost estimating, value engineering, constructability review, project controls, and construction inspection.

MARKET > Education NAME: Clapp, Langley, Crawford Infill Addition LOCATION: Pittsburgh, PA OWNER: University of Pittsburgh Construction management services, including commissioning coordination, for the new Infill Addition at the University of Pittsburgh, which serves as the new research laboratory for the Biological and Neurological Sciences departments. The addition is a 50,000 sf, five-story building with a small partial basement and penthouse structure on the roof. The addition is structurally steel framed with pre-cast facing panels at the lower level and both insulated metal panels and limestone panels from the first floor through the penthouse. Substantial coordination and scheduling efforts were necessary on our part due to the urban location and adjacency to occupied educational spaces. Because of our past experience and unique qualifications, we basically served as an extension of Pitt’s facilities staff. Along with applying our proven construction management methods, dck employees exercised all University construction practices and procedures to work in sync with them.
