MBP provided comprehensive construction management services for the multi-phase renovation of the F Wing of Building 10, Floors 2 through 14. Our scope included project management, quality assurance inspections, project controls, safety oversight, cost estimating, CPM scheduling, earned value management, risk management, claims analysis, move management, and BIM services.

This complex renovation upgraded 215,600 square feet of space to support state-of-the-art biomedical research. Phase A involved converting 64,000 square feet of former patient care units into laboratory, support, and administrative areas, along with installing new utilities and mechanical infrastructure for the entire wing. Phase B included the renovation of an additional 151,600 square feet, mechanical upgrades, and corridor fit-outs—all completed while maintaining partial occupancy and coordinating multiple funding sources.

“MBP’s cost estimating was very effective in controlling the construction contractor’s change requests which resulted in NIH saving approximately 29% or $10,470,000 in construction costs.”

“MBP’s management efforts on this CQM contract have been exceptional. The CQM QA team has repeatedly identified significant construction problems that were missed or overlooked by the construction contractor’s own quality control staff. This proactive approach has avoided future disruptions to NIH operations and eliminated the need for costly future rework and repairs. Examples of this proactive approach include identification of deficient domestic water pipe, deficiencies in welds of plastic RO system pipe, and problems with installation of floor and other finishes. MBP is very responsive to the customer’s needs and expectations. MBP manages its subcontractors very effectively; with NIH approval, they adjusted personnel and responsibilities to better address the evolving needs of the project. Throughout the project, MBP and its subcontractors have performed as a seamless integrated CQM team.”
