The Folsom Care Complex is a new 3-story, 106,696-square-foot multispecialty care center building on a greenfield site in Folsom, CA. The interior tenant improvement scope is programmed for primary care clinics, specialty care clinics, urgent care, diagnostic imaging, nuclear medicine, clinical lab, infusion clinic and pharmacy, an ambulatory surgery center, and radiation oncology with a linear accelerator vault.
M3’s virtual construction team worked with the GC, trade partners, and designers to integrate multiple BIM files, perform clash detection, consolidate, and design the project for manufacture so that the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire systems could be consolidated into a multi-trade prefabricated rack assembly, thereby reducing field labor and trade stacking in an already tight work space, and reducing the installation schedule by 50%.
M3 MEP and M3C will utilize prefabrication for core and shell and tenant improvements to achieve the best cost and speed to market, aiming to improve cost and schedule by 10%. To achieve this, 90% of the project’s mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and framing will be delivered via a manufactured or prefabricated delivery method. This project will utilize prefabricated racks for overhead MEP, pre-packaged kit of parts for MEP outside of racks, pre-assembled wall panels for interior and exterior, and volumetric pods for exam rooms and restrooms, finished to 90% with drywall, paint, accessories, etc. All components will be shipped to the job site for assembly and installation using a just-in-time delivery strategy to minimize site congestion and trade stacking.
