Educational
FIT
Client Name: Dean Mead
MDC Systems® was retained by a university in Florida to develop an analysis of the events and issues that arose during the construction of the university buildings. MDC Systems® performed a comprehensive schedule analysis of the causes and liability for delay during the project. This analysis required verification of the contractor’s initial schedule and the subsequent updates to determine their accuracy and reliability as a basis for analysis.
School District Project
Client Name: Catasauqua Area School District
MDC Systems® was retained by a general contractor and a Pennsylvania school district, to analyze change orders submitted by the general contractor to the school district for excessive costs associated with the removal of rock found after excavation of the proposed site for a new high school. The new high school was first estimated with a total budget amount of $20,995,100 with actual construction costs exceeding $25,356,024. MDC Systems® determined that due to poor planning and testing by the Architect the school district was entitled to recover the excessive costs for rock removal from the Architect.
Suburban School District Energy Project
MDC Systems® was retained by a school district in Pennsylvania to investigate, analyze and recommend corrective action for the high school HVAC System due to high operating costs and unacceptable temperature conditions in various rooms of the school. The high school had been recently constructed and incorporated a geothermal field for heating and cooling uses.

MDC Systems® was retained by a university in New Jersey to determine if problems existed with the building design of the university library.

The university suspected that the problems were the result of errors in the design of the building and its mechanical system.
