Over the years project delivery methods have seen a wave of changes- from traditional delivery approach to Design-build and IPD. In the ever changing landscape of project delivery, it's critical to constantly innovate and reimagine our traditional VDC coordination workflows, to foster collaboration and create impact. The Sutter Health Santa Clara RAC is a tenant improvement project consisting of 3 buildings. It is a capstone project for Sutter leveraging collaborative project delivery methods. The project aims to maximize “speed-to-market” strategies and construction methodologies to set up the project for success. The VDC workflow was strategized and incorporated into schedule using the Last Planner System, from validation stage of the project and spread out over all phases of construction. Starting from existing structure validation to Tier-based coordination approach and finally Coordination handoff for installation, team collaboration was key to each stage.
