Sophie’s Place


Contribution to the Community Constructor Winner: Unger


Construction Company for “Sophie’s Place” – Sacramento It is rare when a builder encounters


an opportunity where inspiration and purpose remind them of what is truly important in life and what they do. Sophie’s Place Music Terapy Studio, built by Unger Construction Co. at the Sutter Women’s and Children’s Center in Sacramento, was just such a project. Sophie Barton, then 17, loved


sharing her exceptional singing and music talent with children at a Salt Lake City Hospital and knew the healing power of music. Her sudden passing inspired her parents and their friends Steve and Barb Young to keep her legacy alive by building children’s music therapy facilities in hospitals. Te Sutter site was selected as one of the prototype locations, and was named Sophie’s Place. Te expense of building a fully


equipped performing and recording studio in a California hospital far exceeded the donation from the Youngs’ Forever Young Foundation. Unger Construction Co. was brought in to help and committed to making the project a reality. Appealing to the goodwill of


its subcontractor team, including AGC members B.T. Mancini and Rex Moore Electrical, Unger received very generous commitments from each. For its part, Unger performed all work at cost and donated $65,000 to the project. Together the subcontractors and Unger were

able to reduce the original estimate of $402,000 by over $170,000, allowing the project to move ahead


while maintaining all key design elements. Also selected as finalist in this category


was the AGC Orange County District & SoCal CLC for “Beverly’s House” – Orange, and Swinerton Builders for “I.T. Bookman Community Center – Kitchen Remodel” – San Francisco.


Excellence in Project


Management for Projects Over $10 Million Constructor Winner: Hensel


Phelps for “Kaiser Permanente San Diego Central Medical Center” – San Diego Kaiser Permanente San Diego


is one of the most patient-friendly, technologically-enhanced and energy- efficient full-service Medical Centers in the world. Te new $850 million, 7-story, 617,000-sq.-ft. facility is the first LEED Platinum Certified hospital in California and only the second in the U.S. to achieve that designation. Kaiser’s goal for their new facility


was to develop a new standard template that would enhance patient care while reducing the Total Cost of Ownership. Te design effort commenced in 2012 using a BIM-enabled, Design-Assist, Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) approach that combined the collective expertise of CO Architects, contractor Hensel Phelps, ARUP, and key subcontractors. Early involvement in the project


enabled Hensel Phelps and key subcon- tractors to work closely with the designer, engineers and OSHPD and test design options to ensure they met code requirements, did not increase the budget and could be constructed without schedule delays. Te team’s integrated approach made it possible for innovative solutions like chilled beam technology to be approved and implemented in 6.5 months, not the typical 1.5 years, and for construction to start early. Te success of the integrated


delivery approach allowed the hospital to start treating patients six months before the scheduled completion date. Te project was $50 million under budget, with no claims and only 93 OSHPD change orders. Kaiser
