Regional Reference Laboratory

In the spring of 1991, Kaiser Permanente formed a project team to construct a new Regional Reference Lab in North Hollywood, California.

As the team’s project control consultant, Intelisyn, Inc. provided the hub between the Owner, the general contractor, 2 architectural firms, 3 engineering firms as well as 3 other consulting firms.

The laboratory, over 98,000 square feet in size, was constructed on a parcel of land, already partially occupied by an existing Kaiser administration building and parking lot.  Due to the sensitive nature of laboratory equipment, design mitigation challenges included an adjacent railway and the flight path of Burbank Airport.

After minor site demolition and utility upgrades, a three story, stand alone steel framed structure, complete with a new 167 space, grade-level parking lot and landscaping, was built. The building accommodates the major program requirements of the Serology, Bacteriology, Virology, Special Chemistry and Histopathology Departments, as well as various other laboratory support departments.

Construction of the facility was completed in April of 1993 - 6 weeks ahead of schedule, and hundreds of thousands of dollars under budget.

An exhaustive subsequent analysis has revealed that as a Project Controller, Intelisyn saved Kaiser 45 times their fee on the project, in total, over 3 million dollars throughout the preconstruction and construction phases. The analysis has pin-pointed 13 specific areas of qualified savings, from subcontractor reviews, to fee negotiation, to payment review.
