Planning Board approval and permits in record time. The ground-breaking ceremony took place on October 23rd. It’s a big project with an aggressive schedule. “The unique challenge here is that there’s a lot of construction going on in the same neighborhood,” said DiCentes. “There’s a new hotel being built on a nearby block. Cianbro is also constructing a seven-story addition on the Ocean Gateway parking garage, and that’s only a block away. So the access in and out of the site is a challenge. Our jobsite is on a postage stamp, so we have absolutely no laydown room at all. Everything has to be built from the inside out. And just the access with a truck’s equipment and deliveries, to and from the site, is a challenge right now because of the other projects going on. You can only close so many streets!” Cianbro is no newcomer when it comes to erecting First Class office buildings. These construction projects are popular among the company’s builders because the jobs are usually fastpaced, any risk is manageable, and at the end of the process is a gleaming new example of Cianbro’s expertise. Says Jon DiCentes: “Ultimately, projects like the WEX World Headquarters are an unbelievable resume builder for us.” 4 1,624 Project Safe Hours
