SUCCESS ON
ALL FRONTS
CADENCE
AT PLAZA
CENTRO
Cadence at Plaza Centro is a $21.3
million design-build project serving
University of Arizona students with
350,000 SF of student housing and
amenities located in the heart of
downtown Tucson.
Mid-way through the project, Ownership decided to incorporate an extensive low voltage scope to the project
including security, access control,
internet, phone, and data. dck was
able to understand the Owners
needs and design accommodations
for all added wiring and equipment
including MDF and IDF rooms. This
$350,000 change was accommodated
with no added time.
The perseverance of the project team
amidst numerous last minute
changes, acute labor shortages and
difficult inspections were admirable
and included seven-day work weeks
towards the end. Success was exemplified by this team with their nevergive-up attitude regardless of the
roadblocks and obstacles placed in
front of them. The project was a success on all fronts: zero safety incidents, owner satisfaction, and on
or ahead of time performance
which produced a lot of happy
college students!

ONE GOOD
PROJECT LEADS TO
ANOTHER
When Walgreens came into town looking for a design-assist contractor to build their first
flagship store in Hawaii, they visited dcks Hawaii regional office and two other local contractors.
dcks presentation to Walgreens demonstrated an understanding of not only the design-assist
process, but also how we would assist them in hurdling the challenges of design, permitting,
and constructability. This can do attitude impressed the Walgreens representatives, and dck
was selected to provide Pre-construction and Construction Services.
After nine months of design meetings, constructability recommendations, and cost estimating with
Walgreens, Architects Hawaii, and
its consultants, Phase 1 of the new
store began construction. This
process, prior to construction,
enabled dck to keep the design
within the budget and save the
owner $4 million. The two-story
35,600 SF flagship store and threeand-a-half story attached concrete
parking structure is going up on
the busy corner of Keeaumoku
Street and Kapiolani Boulevard in
Honolulu, with subsequent phases
that may include additional parking
and office space on top of existing
tower to follow.
BANKPACIFIC HEADQUARTERS
dck worldwide continued its work
for BankPacific in Guam by providing construction services for the
Phase II renovation of its Hagatna
headquarters. Earlier in 2013, dck
completed Phase I of the construction. This consisted of a complete
interior and exterior renovation of
the three-story customer services
buildingan annex to BankPacifics
main banking facility.
Some would say the greatest compliment we could give would be to recommend
dck to other building owners and/or developers. That might be true, said Philip
J. Flores, BankPacific. However we would say we put our money where our
mouth was and hired dck again for the now ongoing renovation of our bank

DEVRYS
CAMPUSES
dck worldwide has been working
with DeVry University. for the past

Dominica
The newest project that dck is executing for DeVry is the $13.4 million expansion of the Ross University School
