Methodist Hospital, Indianapolis, IN

Projects for patient wings and MRI and CT scan treatment rooms.

Architura’s Partner/Principal, Michael Conly acted as project architect and manager for

several projects at Methodist hospital including:

• Renovation of patient wing for surgery beds in the old section of Methodist

hospital. Careful coordination with facilities staff , engineers and very tight spaces

was required during design and construction.

• Design of the plans for one of the fi rst area MRI suites was carefully assembled

to eliminate all ferrous metals and plan for patient comfort in this challenging

testing atmosphere.

• The completion of the design for a CT scanner was a project that required intense

coordination with the technical team from the GE scanner machine to make

certain that all space requirements for its installation and isolated power, sound

control and environmental controls were as perfect as possible. Because the CT

scan room was located in the heart of the older part of the hospital the need to

run wiring circuits for hundreds of feet were often the case due to limited access

to utilities.

• The completion of these projects required careful coordination and complete

communication with all team members to follow design work though the

construction and addressed needed changes and clarifi cations along the way.

EXAMPLE


Project ManagementSection 5

A great endeavor requires the contribution and substantive eff ort of many who care deeply

for its success. They work diligently to assemble a talented and diverse team to provide a

detailed and comprehensive plan for the design, construction and implementation of your

project.

Project management involves the organization of a large fl ow of people associated by a

variety of backgrounds and areas of expertise where a common ground of ideas can fl ourish

through mutual acceptance of opinions, concepts and innovation. Through this process, a

bond is created with a strong sense of identity and professionalism.

The project manager defi nes distinct and individual functions for each member of the team

and provides a nourishing environment for the development of a unifi ed goal. Careful

attention to all team members who are involved in its production is essential, for without

their diligence, patience and sheer force of will, no success is possible.

Architura is a leader of the team that knows how to integrate and best utilize the talents

of the professionals to maximize benefi t. Our group of talented and experienced people

commit to involvement and interaction with each other at all levels and stages of the

project development.

Our project management philosophy is put into action with the clear identifi cation of which

the team members are and what their roles will be from the outset of the project to its

conclusion. We will utilize procedures that include the following.

1. Consistent written and spoken communication with team members to set

meetings and schedules is essential.

2. Checking frequently with key team members to make certain tasks are clearly

understood and any problems are resolved is critical.

3. The use of scheduling tools such as Microsoft project is helpful with large projects.

4. Scheduling weekly team meetings during critical project phases allows issues to

be resolved quickly so that the project can move forward with cooperation and

enthusiasm.

5. Using meeting notes from client meetings as well as design team meetings helps

keep participants well informed and helps them remembers task assignments and

responsibilities.

6. As project management continues into bidding and construction phase of the

work, the team members change but a consistent Architura leader will remain

the point of contact. All communication must go through one contact point at

Architura for project management to succeed.

7. Regular meetings with meeting notes, reports and project logs will be used during

the construction phase to track project success and resolve issues.

8. Celebration with the team at the conclusion of a successful project is good for team

moral.


Client ManagementSection 6

At Architura, client management is the commitment to the owner to create an atmosphere

of confi dence through listening and involvement. Listening to your needs, listening to your

challenges and problems, listening to what is being said between the lines and listening to

what wasn’t said. Action is implemented through listening and the prompt response of the

principal in charge which eliminates the risk of miscommunication.

Involvement is the desire to satisfy the owner under all circumstances. By becoming a client

advocate the architect initiates the ability to produce a quality product. To understand

and know Purdue’s needs is essential and absolute in the quest to execute and accomplish

exemplary projects.

Procedures we use to listen and communicate include the following.

1. We believe that our direct participation in both critical meetings and informal

meetings with you and your team members is very important.

2. We create meeting notes that we share with you after every meeting to let you know

what we think we heard and let you correct oversights we have made. We use these

notes to communicate with other team members involved with the project at that

time.

3. We make ourselves available to you as much as possible by mobile, email, telephone

to keep responsive communication moving.

4. We know that your time is valuable and we know how important it is to respond

with information in a timely manner. To help facilitate responsive communication

we include several team members from our A/E group in current communications

so that if one person cannot respond another can help get the answer to you right

away.

5. We take the time to discuss our performance with you at diff erent steps during

the planning and construction phases. Just because we do not hear a negative

comments does not mean you are completely comfortable with what we are doing.

It is important that we take nothing for granted and take the time to work out even

slight issues in a timely fashion.

6. Bidding and construction phases of the project can be very stressful times for owners,

especially if a challenging contractor is involved with the project. We make certain

that the lead people involved in our design phases are also involved in construction

phases to maintain continuity of quality and provide the attention needed.

7. An architect or engineer involved in the construction phase needs to have the

experience to know when a contractor is not performing adequately. Our principal

architects each have over 20 years experience on construction projects and have

learned many of the pitfalls that can happen. We acknowledge diffi culties quickly

and work hard to resolve errors rapidly to avoid a small problem becoming a bigger

issue.

8. We stay with you until you are satisfi ed with the fi nished project.


Quality Control & Cost EstimatingSection 7

Expectations for a superior project design and completed constructed building are established

at the very outset of the project. When project budgets are set, certain parameters are given

to control the design scope and quality of the project. Intensive discussion should occur

early in the project to help establish accurate expectations for quality, scope and cost.

The best fi rst step to creating a good design that refl ects the proper function of the building

project and captures the architectural design needed to inspire visual organization and

character of the project is for us to understand your real goals and limits and take them

seriously.

We feel that the design of a project should refl ect the complete set of goals needed for your

project but allow possible project phasing in case budget challenges become a harsh reality.

It is better to design well to make the best use of space that fi ts the budget than wishfully

think that the construction bids might be good enough to get more volume from dollars

spent.

Control of project quality and cost is the result of our working with experienced professional

team members in all of the architectural and engineering design fi elds while at the same

time working with outside consults who specialize in cost estimating and construction

work. Nothing is better than sitting down with a real contractor during the early phases

of a project design to not only discuss what costs and materials may work best but to also

evaluate the means and methods of construction the can allow a better constructed project

to be built at a lower unit cost by effi ciently using trade contractors on the job.

We carefully develop our construction documents to be inclusive of the many details

that contractors need to take the mystery out of the building process. Ambiguity creates

opportunities for mistakes and change orders.

We employ the use of a Professional Cost Estimator and Quantity Surveyor who helps us

establish real cost expectations at the outset of the project during the schematic design

phase, at the completion of the design development phase and just before bidding the

project at the completion of the construction document phase.

Our specifi cations are constructed using “master spec” format to closely relate to drawing

details and make accurate references to current building standards and codes. We require

submittals and fi led samples to be carefully reviewed by our design team members before

a contractor is allowed to move forward.

The control of building quality and cost does not end until your building project is completely

constructed and the project is reviewed at the end of the warranty period.
