Web Case Study: Miami Ritz Carlton Constructs 22-Story Twin Towers
Scheduling and budget challenges are certainly nothing new, but the recent Miami Ritz Carlton project presented a few new wrinkles forAnvil International, Inc. The project was started and then ran into financial difficulties. As a result, the site sat dormant for a year. With the foundation dug and concrete poured for over a year, the owner and general contractor were eager to proceed once new financing was secured.
The project plans called for construction of twin 22-story towers containing 542,000 square feet of hotel, retail and residential space. Air Management, located in Miami, was selected as the mechanical contractor but needed to significantly reduce its construction cost. To accomplish this, Air Management asked Anvil to join the team and assist them with the value engineering.
