Case study: Upper Dublin School District, Sandy Run Middle School The environmentally-friendly new Sandy Run Middle School employed numerous sustainable planning, design and construction components to achieve LEEDGold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. By seeking the LEED Certification, the District earned a $1.368M grant toward the project from the State Department of Community and Economic development secured by D’Huy Engineering. D’huy Engineering Inc. was engaged early in the planning, scope determination, phasing, and budgeting this state of the art new middle school. The project required a complex phasing plan to keep the school in operationwhile building the 3 story classroom wing on a steep slope site. The project bids were $2 million below budget and the project is currently on schedule for a September 2022 completion. • Pre-Construction Oversight • Project Administration • Sustainability and LEED Certification • Value Engineering • Constructibility Reviews • Multi-Prime Construction Management • Bidding and Procurement • Contractor Management • Startup / Commissioning Coordination

By the Numbers

PRE-DESIGN & DESIGN PHASE SUPPORT: The school has begun investigating a conceptual educational facility and that concept needs to become a bricks and mortar reality. The questions on every Owner’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, and we will work with the Owner to develop the best solution, scope, budget, time and 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 teamwith 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 Owner, you are fully informed and confident in the outcome.

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 Cert building, obtained $26M in State gr and manages Energy Star Programs 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.

tified rants s for ursue

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
