VDC Done Right: Streamlining Prefab and Coordination on the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Renewal Project
Founded in 1864, in Ann Arbor, Michigan by Timothy McCarthy as a lumber business, McCarthy Building Companies is now one of the largest and most diversified commercial construction companies in America.
Revizto for design-build is a no brainer. High trust and high collaboration is required to do design-build right. This tool provides exactly that.
Project Overview
BJC HealthCare’s Barnes-Jewish Hospital Renewal Project is a multi-year, multi-phase transformation to renew the organization’s academic medical center campus in St. Louis, Missouri, on the Washington University Medical Campus.
In 2021, BJC selected McCarthy Building Companies to lead the design-build construction of the campus centerpiece, a new 17-story, 280 bed patient care replacement tower. The tower includes seven floors of private inpatient rooms, two intensive care unit floors and public space. BJC also selected McCarthy to reimagine the south plaza entry and main arrival area of the hospital. McCarthy is working hand-in-hand with CannonDesign (architect) and Thornton Tomasetti (structural engineer).
Immediately after completing the schematic design of the tower, McCarthy began using Revizto to support design development, coordination and clash detection with MEP trade partners. The entire project team and stakeholders have continued to use the collaboration platform through ongoing construction on the jobsite, supporting issue resolution, tracking progress and installation verification.
