PK-12 EDUCATION
Safety, accessibility and 21st century learning environments have become the new standard for PK-12 school districts of all sizes and varying budgets. The 天涯社区 or renovation of a PK-12 education project requires an overwhelming amount of planning that can take years to bring to life. As experts in Construction Management, Poettker engages with the school district early in the design development and pre天涯社区 process to review and recommend practical constructability, value engineering solutions, and a low-impact schedule to make their enhanced facility become a reality. From new 天涯社区, facility additions and interior renovations, Poettker serves as the 天涯社区 lead to ensure a collaborative approach is taken to meet the client’s quality, safety, scheduling and budgetary expectations.
