Regardless of the project size and type, attention to detail during the design phase is critical to ensure that client requirements are heard and accurately documented as well as to ensure that cost is managed throughout the design process. TCC takes a collaborative approach with design and construction teams to understand costs and drive decisions for best value. By leveraging our technical backgrounds, we suggest value-driven design considerations as well as identify risks to proactively provide contingency plans.Our Design Management addresses not only the facility needs, but the needs of the departmental operations. Understanding their needs and goals: curating them into a functional design while still taking into account branding and standards.TCC has worked with several clients that are either in the midst or have completed new branding efforts as well as system wide standards to help improve maintenance cost/efficiency as well as operational consistency. We work hard to understand what is valuable to your organizations, prioritizing and managing the competing stakeholders during the design effort, such as:DESIGN MANAGEMENT• Identifying solutions that will support the operational requirements of the facility, while also considering ongoing maintenance considerations• Developing a space that is future ready. In today’s quickly evolving landscape, it is important to not only design to today’s needs, but also creating a flexible building for technologies of the future.

During the construction phase of your project, hurdles and challenges are expected, but your success lies in the expert facilitation of solutions and proactive thinking. Through continuous site inspections and constant communication with all stakeholders, contractors, and consultants, TCC stays on top of all potential risks during construction. We monitor the quality of work and adherence to schedule to identify and assist in the resolution of any issues in a timely manner.As the owner’s advocate, holding team members accountable, and providing clear transparency across all parties; we protect your best interest and provide expert advice at every stage of the construction process. The TCC team will spearhead:• Providing a Clear Process for Communication and Approvals• Integration of PM Software• Management of Scope, Schedule and Budget• Internal Coord./Comm. for Effective Planning + Transparency• Quality Control • Risk ManagementProviding recommendations on:• Project Delivery Methods » Understanding of LS/GMP/IPD/Or Similar• Contractual RequirementsCONSTRUCTIONMANAGEMENT

THE CARLIN COLLABORATIVE THE CARLIN COLLABORATIVEEMERGENCY DEPARTMENT + RADIOLOGY EXPANSION PHASE 1CAPE REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTERCAPE MAY COURTHOUSE, NEW JERSEYIn an effort to improve access to best in class diagnostic imaging services to the Cape May County community. Utilizing existing underutilized space in the hospital, 11,000 SF of vacated operating room spaces was completely gutted and renovated to house a new Diagnostic Imaging Department. The design combined modalities to increase the size of the DI suite by +/- 50% and provide better patient privacy as well as better care and flow for patients, staff and visitors. The new space allows for new services, more procedure capacity, reduced waiting times and increased patient volumes. Modalities included: General X-Ray room, new Fluoroscopy X-Ray Room, new state of the art Interventional Radiology suite, additional Multi Purpose Procedure Room, New CT Scan, the IR rooms and CT are designated as Class 3 Imaging Rooms to support moderate sedation cases.TCC was hired to manage the project from design through documentation, regulatory approvals, construction, and facility occupancy. The age of the building and poorly maintained infrastructure created several challenges during the project including conflicts with existing structure and MEP systems. TCC led the project team in finding cost-effective solutions to keep the project on budget and reduce schedule impact.COLLABORATORS +R2A ARCHITECTSP. AGNES BUILDERS project spotlight

Through agile problem solving and close collaboration, this project was successfully delivered on time while avoiding additional project costs.COLLABORATORS +DCC DESIGN GROUPPESCATORE ASSOCIATESWOLFE SCOTTproject spotlight

To TCC the end of construction does not equate to the end of your project. Without a proactive, detailed, and strategic operational readiness plan, the transition into your new space can become difficult, tainting your workforce’s experience with the new space. TCC helps manage early on change management planning as well as all aspects of your move and occupancy efforts from close-out to operational readiness. With clear and consistent communication, we ensure your staff’s transition is a smooth and positive experience. Occupancy and Move Management are where TCC separates ourselves from the competition. So often, a Project Management firm will get you through Certificate of Occupancy and you, the owner is left with a vacant building. At TCC, we will manage the project all the way through Go-Live. What does that mean for you? It means our team will build out an Activation or Occupancy Schedule that will include activities for the early occupiers. These are teams that are the first in the building and require an extra level of coordination to make sure we have inspections, equipment, and supplies. TCC also works directly with vendors to ensure delivery times and dock coordination. Loading in a building is no small task – you can’t have the patient room couches arrive after the beds, or computers deployed before desks or wall mounted arms. This attention to detail in coordination with the overall construction schedule provides a seamless transition from construction to building load in.BUILDING LOAD IN LOGISTICS

Equipment selection, procurement, and coordination are critical to a projects success. Early on design coordination with equipment and vendors minimizes the need for costly changes during construction. Our team members have experience with highly specialized equipment and an in-depth understanding of how they relate to the operations of the spaces being designed. TCC’s Vendor & Equipment Coordination services will help your team coordinate key decisions, procurement and installation milestones, as well as training and turnover.Equipment and vendor coordination is so crucial from start to finish. TCC has established relationships with many equipment vendors and first hand experience with specific equipment requirements and will work to ensure the design team understands the complexities of the new equipment or existing equipment that will be relocated during the move phase. Furniture timing and installation need to be carefully choreographed to eliminate the potential for any damage and properly coordinate infrastructure and user requirements. The last part is training. When it comes to new equipment, it’s important for there to be training to ensure a smooth transition into their new workflows. TCC understands the regulatory requirements for training and proper turn-over of newly installed equipment. By holding your vendors accountable for all contract requirements, we will ensure that your equipment is working properly prior to go live, your regulatory inspections are successful, and you obtain everything you are owed by your vendors.VENDOR + EQUIPMENTCOORDINATION

Move Management is the grand finale of each project. It is the last step before go-live and presenting your new facility or space to the public. Our team is experienced in moving a variety of spaces including patient rooms, operating rooms, labs, pharmacies, office space, and even patients when needed. So often movers are hired to support the move, but having an experienced Owner’s Rep in this phase is invaluable and ensure that the operational considerations that most movers will not think of, are addressed prior to go-live.When moving complex spaces, considerations need to be made for validation, commissioning, and testing of equipment, transitioning, programing, and training for IT and support services.. TCC will coordinate directly with your internal teams, vendors, movers, and all support units to make sure there is a clear and efficient communication plan to ensure all stake holders always have real time data to ensure that all of your occupancy and move activities are successfully deployed without interruption to your operations.MOVE MANAGEMENT + OCCUPANCY
