Crystal Springs Upland School: Below-Ground Gymnasium
Approach - The project team used the Construction Communicator™ online service to expedite contract administration, enabling them to concentrate on real problems. The system logged hundreds of RFIs and other documents, giving the team a way to get timely answers to important questions.
Results - The project met its original opening date in spite of an unseasonably heavy storm (the “100 year storm”). The planned construction work was completed within the original construction and contingencies budgets.
Project - Crystal Springs Uplands School, a private school in the San Francisco Bay Area, was replacing its gymnasium, almost doubling its size. Because of environmental concerns in its upscale neighborhood, the 40,000 sq.ft. gymnasium had to be below ground. For various reasons, construction was delayed three months, starting only in late summer. This posed the risk that the excavation would not be completed before the rainy season.

"At a period when IT investments are concentrated on the pragmatic problem-solving side of corporate computing, the need for frequent and easy communication among employees, subcontractors, design consultants and customers has made knowledge management solutions an indispensable requirement in this industry. Construction Communicator can help to facilitate much of the communication that takes place during a construction project, and ultimately to facilitate project management. We would expect this application to have a positive impact on the bottom line in the construction industry."
