The build at a glance
♦ What we did
The MAC puts doctors, lawyers, chiropractors, navigators, and family services under one roof. Families who used to cross the city for each appointment now have one address. On paper it’s one building. Inside, it’s twenty separate tenant spaces, each with its own finish requirements and its own schedule.
J.E. Travis Painting put dozens of painters and tape and float crews through the facility at the same time, running four colors per space across all twenty spaces under Metropolitan Contracting.
One building on paper. Twenty separate jobs on the inside.
♦ The Challenges
State funding came with a hard completion date. Every tenant came online at a different point in the schedule, so crews coordinated access suite by suite and handed each space to the next trade without holding up the rest of the building. When the schedule tightened, the team went to 50 hour weeks and long weekends. Five months from start to ribbon cutting. The MAC opened on time, made the local news, and Texas is now looking at the model for other cities. It was also the first job David ran from buyout to closeout.
