With exceptional skill, the Saunders Construction team endured a 20 month, thirty two phase renovation process while working a modified swing shift in occupied space. When the original RFP was issued, the definition of the Seismic Retrofit project included a simple structured schedule in order to install a completely new steel substructure in the Mattel Design Center. However, a substantially more complex construction schedule evolved by May 2008, putting several key logistical factors at risk. Nevertheless, Saunders management kept their original contract commitments to Mattel in tact.
