A ground-up medical center in Brooklyn

The site sat between older masonry buildings with no staging room, on a busy avenue. The cellar had to be dug and the neighbors protected before steel went up, and the frame decked over an open cellar with the street kept open.

The shell also had to suit heavy MEP and medical fit-out.

As lead PM for the general contractor, Osher managed the subcontracts, the owner’s payment applications and the schedule. He coordinated the sidewalk shed, excavation, shoring, foundations and the steel and deck package, with controlled access and decking zones at the deck edge, and ran the daily logs, safety documents, inspections, sub billing and change-order pricing.

That is why MPG works for owners now. Osher knows how contractors build a schedule of values, where contingency sits and how change orders are priced.

The cellar, foundations and frame were completed with the neighbors protected and the street open, ready for MEP and medical fit-out.
