VALUE DELIVERED

The project’s MEP Systems were delivered on a Design/Build basis. The project and State-of-the-Art Lab suites provide high performing Mechanical Systems and are located in the heart of South San Francisco the epicenter of the Bay area’s life sciences community, constructed within budget, and on schedule.

Marelich worked collaboratively with the owner, Architect, general contractor, and all other team members, to provide optimized solutions for the project.

The team addressed logistical challenges early on using Building Information Modelling (BIM). The model then became an invaluable tool, used for construction fabrication and also utilized to communicate construction sequencing and methods for all stakeholders involved.
