CONTINUUM + STUDIO PBA URBAN PLANNING AT SMITH RANCH

in ,

We are proud to announce a collaborative urban planning project with Continuum, Norris Design, Tetra Tech, and the Town of Silverthorne. Last week, Studio PBA team members helped garner community input in Silverthorne, presenting our framework plan for the latest phase of Smith Ranch. We heard from over 100 community members who gave lots of thoughtful feedback and comments. We cannot wait to implement this feedback into our design for their town, in a way that we think Silverthorne’s citizens will love. What a beautiful day to attend an outdoor gathering in the mountains!

May's Construction Recap

in ,

At Studio PBA, we have created a dedicated construction administration department. This creates a multitude of benefits for our firm. By devoting staff strictly to construction administration (CA), each project undertaken by our firm has a team member with intimate knowledge of current construction practices and methods. It allows for more attention to be paid to each project during construction, subsequently minimizing the need for change orders and troubleshooting. Having a dedicated CA team means that the lessons learned on other projects are implemented into the drawings in real time and we're able to take advantage of active learning on projects. Our firm is able to make this very seamless transition between the production department and CA department by having the production project manager involved throughout the CA process.

Summer of 2018 is poised to be a big one for our CA team.  We currently have over ten projects nearing construction completion and several more are slated to break ground this summer.  Our teams are on site almost weekly monitoring the progress of these projects, gathering great ideas, lessons learned, and photos of the progress.

 

What’s Wrapping up this Summer:

Courtyard by Marriott, DIA, Denver, Colorado
After many months of renovations, including updates to the 6-story exterior façade, 139 guest rooms, entry and lobby sequence, and the addition of a courtyard, the Courtyard by Marriott at DIA is only weeks away from final completion at the end of May 2018.
