etc. Noise and dust had to be kept to a minimum and no utilities could be shut down for any reason.� Because of this, Kaneshige adds, “The project team worked from the top down. While the upper floors were going through the turnover process, lower floors were receiving framing, rough-in, finishes etc.�
Setting the Standard
Because the tower itself and roughly half the units were completed four years ago, Phase 5 work was conducted in a semi-occupied building. “Our biggest challenge from my perspective was that our wing, which was an active jobsite, was
separated from the occupied side of the building by only a half inch sheet of plywood. We had to complete all of our work within restricted hours so that we did not impede the operation of the active timeshares, as well as to preserve the experience of the guests

“Nordic PCL established a goal of having zero punch list items to demonstrate its commitment to quality,� says Kaneshige, explaining a unique component of the Phase 5 project. To achieve that, the project team used the completed units in Phase 4 as an example of the finish level expected and conducted multiple rigorous unit inspections before the final walk with the client.� O’Neill says the program was successful on 75 percent of the units. “This was done by strictly enforcing quality control throughout the entire duration of the project as well as the implementation of a managed contract completion and trade damage tracking list. These things, together with multiple cleanings and a strategically placed finish coat of paint, allowed us to turn over units that were completely ready for the owner to occupy and begin their furniture and fixture installation. This program resulted in very few punch list items actually making it onto the owner’s punch list.� “The client was pleased with the results of the punch list program because it required less time reviewing and monitoring the work,� concludes Kaneshige.
