Healthcare

What really stood out was that the top-to-bottom renovation took place while the building was in full operation and seeing patients daily. DEW developed a solid phasing plan taking into account the needs of our providers and staff. DEW staff communicated with them throughout the project and made every effort to address their needs and requests in the process. I heard nothing but but praise and appreciation from the staff.

Throughout the process, both DEW companies continued to confirm our initial belief that they were the best choice for this project. Communication, care, and the willingness to do whatever it took to get the job done, from the preconstruction development phase to the completion phase, was always the highest priority for the DEW team, consultants and subcontractors. It was a pleasure to work with a team driven by an uncompromising commitment to quality and ethical business practices.“

The DEW team was knowledgeable, supportive and skilled in the design and construction of the medical office buildings and our Penacook Family Physicians practice will benefit from this new, state of the art facility. Our experience with DEW on the Penacook Medical Office Building has been very positive, and we are pleased to offer the highest recommendation for your project.

DEW provided a seamless and open process with the hospital and the providers of our practice beginning with the RFP process and continuing through the actual move and occupancy of the facility. We worked with the firm’s project principal, project manager and site superintendent throughout the project and the management, listening skills, and delivery of the medical office building inclusive of our desired features and elements were excellent.

Now that construction has begun I’d like to take a moment to thank each of you for your role and support in the pre-construction and design phase of this project. Your efforts have brought us a design that meets our patient care objectives, a phasing plan that balances meeting operational needs with efficient construction, and flexibility to effectively work together … all for a reasonable cost. My experience with you during this past phase reassures me, as we enter the construction phase, we are in good hands and I foresee nothing less than great success.

Health care is an extremely challenging area of construction because phasing is very difficult and essentially no departments in the hospital can be shut down at any time. DEW has been extremely flexible in helping us work through the phasing on this project and has always been conscientious of the fact that health care facilities are financially challenged.

From the Owner’s perspective I can say without hesitation, that DEW/MacMillin’s project team is very effective in managing the Project’s construction budget and construction schedule. In particular, Taylor has proven to be a true partner of the Owner on this project. He is very qualified to manage and provide meaningful cost forecasting services for a complex construction budget. Taylor and the team is consistently brainstorming ways to save the project money and reduce the construction schedule. His ongoing commitment to the construction schedule, sequencing, and phasing has proven to facilitate a dependable and predictable outcome for the Owner. Our project…

I have recently worked with DEW/MacMillin on a new Medical Office Building with a budget of approximately $10,900,000. Throughout the preconstruction and  construction process DEW/MacMillin has functioned with the owner’s best interests in mind. As the owner’s representative, I am highly involved with the project and can attest to the level of commitment that all members of the DEW/MacMillin team bring to the project. During the preconstruction phase of the project, DEW/MacMillin was integral to providing the Owner the cost and constructability support services that were needed to finalize the financing package. Their preconstruction team worked tirelessly to help refine…
