For over 45 years, we have partnered with healthcare facilities to optimize project outcomes. PJ Dick’s proven processes foster collaboration and keep all stakeholders focused on achieving project goals.
PJ Dick implements a systematic plan for quality assurance and quality control. When a project warrants this plan, PJ Dick utilizes a system based on the Army Corps of Engineers program, featuring three phases of control that is scalable based upon the project requirements. The program makes all team members more accountable throughout a project’s life-cycle — from the design team to our trade partners.
PJ Dick’s 14-person team provides traditional estimating as well as Target Value Delivery services. Comprised of staff skilled in architectural, engineering, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, we work with the design team to verify the project meets project goals, is constructible, and meets the college’s or university’s budget.
PJ Dick uses technology to enhance estimating, preplanning, construction management, and stakeholder engagement. Examples include:
• BIM 360: Clash detection; real-time data access
• Oculus: Verify room layout before building
• LiDAR: Laser scanning to verify as-built drawings
• HoloBuilder: Documentation of existing conditions
Ranked among Engineering News-Record’s Top 100 Green Contractors, PJ Dick has built or is building 100+ LEED projects, including one Living Building Challenge project. Regardless of project complexity or type, PJ Dick will work with the design team, trade partners, and suppliers to verify all construction is built to the required specifications and will ensure that the owner gets the best value for the money — most points for lowest investment.
PJ Dick has arguably one of the most robust safety programs in the industry, garnering both local and national awards for our commitment to safety on-site and our empowerment of employees to lead projects to safe completion. All of our projects adhere to our award-winning My Safety program, which educates and empowers employees and trade partners to protect workers, trade partners, and facility occupants during construction.
Like all other PJ Dick projects, planning for a safe healthcare project begins on day one. We follow strict Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) compliance to ensure the health and safety of patients, personnel, visitors, and those working on and around the facilities.
