SEWUP is the Statewide Educational Wrap Up Program<\/a>, a joint powers authority program that provides a dedicated construction insurance program exclusively for school and community college districts to protect them from the job-site risks of their general contractor and subcontractors of all tiers.<\/p>\n

Led by Senior Construction Manager Dennis Turner,<\/strong> Cordoba Corporation\u2019s Construction Management Team successfully completed the Building D Modernization project with no injuries or safety incidents. \u00a0This is an especially remarkable accomplishment due to the fact that the building remained open throughout most of the duration of construction for this multi-year, $14.17 million project.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud of the safety culture that Dennis established and reiterated throughout the course of this challenging project and mentorship he provides to the entire Bond Management Team.\u00a0 He does a great job at complimenting his construction management style with his extensive field and safety experience that ensures the trades make it home to their families at the end of every work day.\u201d stated Terrance DeGray, Cordoba Corporation Bond Program Manager at LBCCD.<\/strong>\u00a0 \u201cCoordination with several stakeholders was necessary during the course of construction.\u00a0 Dennis effectively worked with stakeholders and provided for a safe learning environment while renovations were underway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Construction was completed from within Building D with no changes to the exterior.\u00a0 Portions of the building remained in use during the course of construction while new Anatomy, Radiology, Medical Assisting and Microbiology laboratories were created.\u00a0 With students, faculty, administrators, and project contractors in the building during construction, safety was the highest project priority for Cordoba\u2019s Construction Management Team.<\/p>\n
