N-01 The brief

Summit Ridge USD passed a bond to modernize a 210,000 SF campus with seismic upgrades, a new science wing and a rebuilt commons, but had nowhere to send 1,900 students. The work had to happen around a live school year, with the loud, dusty, structural phases squeezed into three summer windows.

N-02 The build

Won at public hard bid with a phasing plan drawn before bid day: fourteen classroom swings, hard-walled separations with dedicated construction access, and every summer sprint pre-bought in the spring so materials sat on site the day school let out. Certified payroll, board reporting and background-checked badging ran as their own workstream with a dedicated coordinator.

N-03 The handover

Three summer phases, three on-time handovers on the Friday before term. Zero lost instructional days, zero recordable incidents on the occupied campus, and a final cost 0.4% under the awarded bid after closeout of all allowances.

The owner's view

“Three summers, three handovers on the Friday they promised. Our board got the same report every month, and it never needed a translator.”
