As May turns to June, projects hit a critical construction window. Schools, campuses, commercial spaces, and active facilities face tight schedules and limited disruption time. WMF navigates summer construction through early coordination, clear phasing, and steady oversight to keep work moving as operations continue.
Projects Delivered with Purpose
This 48,000 SF facility, a 2026 NAIOP Award of Excellence winner, reflects the careful planning and coordination needed to move complex projects from design through construction. Developed for Kyocera AVX’s advanced global manufacturing operations, it demonstrates how WMF’s clear alignment and long-term planning create efficient workplaces that support performance, flexibility, and lasting value.
Recipient of the 2024 Award for Design Excellence, this project shows how strategic phasing keeps construction during operations. Delivered in two phases to keep the museum open, the renovation and expansion transformed the building into a future-ready destination for learning, exhibits, and community engagement. WMF’s construction management minimized disruption and maintained momentum throughout.
How to Keep Your Summer Construction on Track
WMF focuses on using the following steps to reduce disruption, delay, and cost risk:
- Set priorities early: Confirm scope, budget, and decision-making before field work begins.
- Plan around operations: Build phasing, access, and safety strategies that reduce disruption to daily use.
- Stay ahead of schedule risks: Monitor milestones closely and address issues before they affect progress.
- Coordinate the full team: Keep architects, engineers, consultants, and contractors aligned throughout the work.
- Protect quality and value: Review constructability, track changes, and maintain oversight through completion.
“Having concluded this project, I can honestly say that this was the most rewarding and enjoyable project I have participated in… If ever I am involved in another building project, it is without a doubt that I would recommend the WMF construction management team!”
-Lynn M. Atkinson-Shielder, Director of Case Management
