On the Destination Grand project for Henry Ford Health, an integrated joint venture team delivered a GMP in short time and below budget, despite facing tariff volatility, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, shifting priorities, and evolving design requirements. This panel discussion features all key stakeholders, including Henry Ford Health, Barton Malow, Turner, and HDR. Panelists will share how they maintained alignment through the evolution of scope, including the goal of an all-electric hospital and addition of two floors, while navigating economic volatility, managing procurement challenges, and right-sizing bid packages in a tight labor market. Attendees will gain practical, actionable insights for stabilizing costs, controlling risk, using data-driven decision-making, evaluating systems selections that reduce risk, and fostering high-performance collaboration across multi-partner teams. This session delivers proven approaches that owners, designers, and builders can apply when external conditions are working against success.Show MoreClick the title to see all detailsShow More
