Case study: Nitschmann Middle School, Bethlehem Area School District

The replacement of a 95-year-old residential school was sure to present challenges; D’Huy Engineering played an integral role in managing the development of plans, providing value engineering recommendations, and tenacious on-site monitoring to ensure the District received the highest quality project at the best value. In 2019, The New Nitschmann Middle School was awarded LEED Gold status by the USGBC. The building has a sophisticated, fully controllable, highly efficient HVAC system that allows the Facilities group to monitor and adjust building setpoints as needed to create a comfortable environment while also limiting the building’s energy usage. The building is located in an urban neighborhood where over one third of the students walk or bike to school. Bike racks, showers, and changing rooms are provided to encourage carbon footprint reduction. Limitingwater usagewas also a goal of the project, whichwas accomplished by installing low flow toilets, automatic faucets at sinks, and native landscaping which do not require regular watering.

The building was constructed with the environment in mind as well. Building materials were locally sourced and had high percentages of recycled content. The project team excelled by diverting over 75% of construction waste from landfills.

Being a community school, it is imperative that the building be utilized to its full potential by the local residents. The School District has an active leasing program of the athletic fields, gymnasium, auditorium and library. This building will be an icon in a historic City for years to come.

The Need

PRE-DESIGN & DESIGN PHASE SUPPORT: The school District has begun investigating a conceptual educational facility and that concept needs to become a bricks and mortar reality. The questions on every District’s mind is “where do I start” and “how can this possibly be managed.” The amount of decisions and entities involved in making this happen can seem endless and the task is nothing short of daunting. THE SOLUTION: D’Huy Engineering has built their excellent reputation on bringing clarity to that task. We will work with the Owner to develop the best solution, scope, budget, timeline, provide direction on all project communications, and decisions in a way that is easy to understand. Our staff of Professional Engineers and Technical Specialists routinely team with the project Architect and Engineer to provide guidance and answers that are focused on reducing risk and addressing your project requirements so that the path to construction is clear and, as the District, you are fully informed and confident in the outcome.

Comprehensive Services

BEGINWITH THE END IN MIND Right from the start we focus the team on the educational program and the goals of the stakeholders. Continuous reporting to the School and it’s community is a DEI Hallmark

LEED EXPERIENCE DEI has completed 13 LEED Gold Cer building, obtained $26M in State g and manages Energy Star Program K-12 Districts. We continuously pu energy savings design.

MULTI-DISCIPLINE TEAM As construction managers we do more than shuffle paper. We bring a wide array of highly skilled and licensed architects and engineers to every project to provide technical solutions to issues and implement best practices.

SYSTEM FOCUS & VALUE ENGINEERING

Our staff is adept at facilitating meaningful collaboration between Owner, Architect, and CM early in the design to select the best systems, identifying strategies to reduce the project cost, shorten the schedule, and improve long-term maintenance and energy consumption.

SCHEDULE-DRIVEN APPROACH Our schedule-driven approach means planning the work, then working the plan. During design, DEI documents well-defined milestones for each team member, which establishes clear account- ability for the project schedule during design and construction.

PROCUREMENT From design agreement to the selection of support professionals and ultimately the procurement of brick and mortar, we strategically protect K-12 owners from risk.

CONSTRUCTIBILITY REVIEWS Identifying issues in the design phase is the most effective way to avoid costly change orders during construction. DEI assembles skilled technical teams who utilize a proven methodology for comprehensive reviews tailored to each phase of the design process.

BUDGETING EXPERTISE Our estimating team, led by our Certified Professional Estimator, prepares comprehensive budgets early in the project, updates this budget throughout the design phase, and uses the budget to “reign in” the architect when needed to keep within the available funds.

CONSTRUCTION PHASING Assembling detailed construction phasing information allows contractors to prepare aggressive bids with fewer contingencies. During construction, these phasing documents provide a transparent roadmap to document progress and confirm that milestones will be met.

BIM CAPABILITIES DEI regularly uses Building Information Modeling (BIM) to deliver projects. Leveraging the clash detection capabilities of this software is a cost-effective way to identify and eliminate conflicts before construction even starts.

DEI utilizes online construction management software, such as Projectmates, on all major projects. We are known for our complete documentation and thorough reporting for K-12 owners. ONLINE CM SOFTWARE

SAFETY CULTURE Keeping construction sites safe for our staff, contractors, and building inhabitants is crucial. Our experienced resident project representatives communicate regularlywith contractors as each implement their project-specific health and safety plans.

PROTECT THE DISTRICT We provide management strategies from start to finish. This includes sound contract language, clear work scopes and relentless effort to resolve issues quickly.

At DEI we treat every project as if it were our own home. This attention to detail, accountability for actions, and pride of ownership stands out to Owners and contractors and is clearly evident in the finished project. PRIDE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
