Pennsbury School District, Pennwood Middle School

Work Plan, Scope and Fee - Design Phase

Our experience with Pennbury’s District Team during the Pennwood MS renovations was successful and rewarding. We incorporated sustainability, continuous value engineering, creative problem solving and scheduling, quality and cost control to contribute to a result that exceed exceptions. We were proud ti keep the District, its Board and community continuously informed, allowing for the sound decisions that brought success. We are excited to build on this success, using the lessons learned at Pennswood to deliver Boehm MS. We will always be the District’s advocate and seek the very best for the District. Our proactive and collaborative approach with Pennsbury’s team in the design phase will generate significant dividends and uphold out approach to... ...plan the work and then work the plan.
