Diversified Project Management, Inc. (DPM), an owner's representative firm providing programming, pre-construction, project management, construction administration, FF&E coordination and move-planning services, has been selected to manage the expansion of the Community Health & Wellness Center's facility.
Community Health and Wellness Center has retained DPM to provide comprehensive owner's project management services for its planned 28,000 s/f medical office building - a project made possible by a grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration, through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.
DPM will act as the owners representative from the design phase through construction of the new facility and renovation of the existing space. DPM will also assist with the contractor selection process and act on behalf of Community Health and Wellness throughout the project to deliver a facility to accommodate CHWC's growing needs. The final design nearly complete and construction is expected to commence in the spring.
The completion of the new building will be followed by renovations to the existing space and a two phased relocation of approximately 25 people into the completed facility. CHWC expects to complete new construction in April of 2014 and begin the renovation to the existing space in May 2014. Relocation to the new building is planned for May 2014 and the move to the renovated space is targeted for August 2014.
DPM project executive, Mark DuPré and senior project manager, Geralyn Hoerauf will work closely with the Ray Sevigny of Sevigny Architects to manage the design development process to ensure that Community Health and Wellness Center's needs are being met with regards to the space program, design, budget and schedule.
