“Everyone on this project was a safety inspector and every person was a quality control inspector. The results speak for themselves.”
The new $67 million Bridgeview at Hayden Ferry Lakeside was completed in January 2008.
Built by Residential Constructors, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of McCarthy, the 220,000-square-foot, 13-story concrete structure houses 104 luxury condominiums and a 260-car underground parking structure. To ensure the project met the owner SunCor’s high quality standards, the team created two unique programs under the project’s Site Specific Quality Plan. First, the structure was divided into 31 “pods.” Work in each pod completed in 28 weeks from start to finish, with work in the next pod beginning exactly one week later, and so on. Pre-assigning weeks to specific trades limited work occurring in each pod on any given day, resulting in improved schedule flow, productivity and quality control. In addition to the pod process, halting all construction activity in certain project areas for quality “time outs” allowed for detailed inspections to take place throughout the job. In the end, this thorough attention to quality enabled the project to achieve all quality goals, exceed all major project milestones and maintain a superior safety environment.
