Owner: General Disposal Co.
Architect: Galloway Architects
Completion: December 1997
Permit review delays meant this project started later than anticipated,
but Charter still made sure it was finished on time. General Disposal
was able to relocate its entire fleet to the new facility as originally
planned, and Charter’s aggressive value engineering practices
resulted in considerable savings for the owner.
The fast-track/design-build contract included the remodel of an
existing 11,000 SF building with new electrical and mechanical systems
as well as construction of a new 6,000 SF maintenance facility for
65 trucks. Charter also installed a new civil drainage system for
the entire 28,000 SF site.
Charter kept the project on track and under budget by closely managing
the construction process. Crews anticipated change orders and analyzed
alternative construction methods, saving the owner five percent of
the total construction cost.
