Client Testimonial

Hear it for yourself

“McCownGordon has been a great partner to collaborate with in building a new facility for the Blackwell community. Their communication and commitment in working with the architect, owner and community has resulted in a successful project. The project had many unforeseen challenges that the McCownGordon team effectively managed, providing solutions instead of just passing along to someone else. They constantly remained engaged with staff to ensure any disruptions created by construction were minimized. I would highly recommend McCownGordon for any healthcare project.”

 – Steven Taylor | VP/Chief Administrative Office, Stillwater Medical Healthcare

HFG led the design process and was already working with the owner when McCownGordon was selected. One of the requirements from the owner’s board of directors was to have a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) in place a mere four months after McCownGordon being selected. The GMP also had to be based on an early drawing package—50% Design Development Drawings.

Initial budgets were nearly 12% over the owners budget. Using cost option solutions, McCownGordon was able to guide the owner and HFG to a solution without cutting square footage from the project. In order to accomplish this tight timeframe and price off this preliminary design we engaged local trade partners early to garner interest in the project. Our thorough bid packages combined with the preliminary drawings provided enough information to the trade partners to bid the project.

The Blackwell Hospital Board approved the GMP on December 19, 2019 easily within their timeline, within their budget and without sacrificing the needs of the facility.
