Planning

Planning for project was on a fast track. I well renown Spine Surgeon was hired by Advocate and we needed to get him in business making money fast! The challenges were the electrical feed required coming from the basement. The as builts were used by the engineers and drawings were totally wrong. We had to improvise and reroute the feed. Krause construction, Advocate Healthcare, and HED had multiple planning and coordination meetings prior to construction to properly address the impact of all of these issues with regards to the planning and future construction of the project. Krause fast tracked the schedule for 16 weeks.
