We delivered a state-of-the-art learning center and corporate office for Chicago's immigrant community on budget and fully compliant.
Challenges
Contractor reporting delays created gaps in minority business compliance documentation, putting budget and timeline at risk mid-construction.
Services
We procured the architect and general contractor, engaged elected officials, and ran regular update meetings to keep the project transparent and on track. We also managed subcontractor payments, change orders, invoicing, and schedules of values.
Outcomes
The facility was renovated and expanded with a 1-story addition, meeting all state procurement regulations and minority business participation requirements for the city grant. PODER now has a modern headquarters that serves as a vital resource for Chicago's immigrant community.
