The newly renovated Center for Theological Inquiry symbolizes the Center’s dedication to ‘illuminating profound questions’. The CM, Irwin and Leighton, knew they needed skilled craftsmen to build this innovative space designed by Michael Graves Architects…so, they turned to the professionals at Wallworks Commercial Carpentry to get it done right!
As the General Trades Subcontractor on the project, Wallworks’ scope of work drove the fast schedule of the project. This included the interior framing, insulation, and drywall; as well as a variety of specialty ceilings. As one of the largest trades on the project, the carpentry work had a big impact on quality. So, ensuring the right manpower was a driving force behind the schedule and quality.
The comprehensive scope of the work package allowed for better manpower coordination, phasing of work and for managing details that are important for quality.
Wallworks, one of the largest team of skilled craftsmen on the project, was selected by Wohlsen Construction, to complete the general trades package for the impressive $125 million state-of-the-art facility for the College of Engineering. Wallworks self-performed 90% of their contracted Labor on the project = 65,000 manhours with a Safety Program recognized with an ABC STEP Diamond Award.
