ORLANDO, FL — Associated Builders & Contractors’ Central Florida chapter recognized the quality of construction demonstrated by Construct Two Group, an Orlando-based construction management company, for its work on the new Winter Haven Area Transit (W.H.A.T.) facility (top right photo) in Polk County, Fla.Construct Two Group earned an Eagle award for best-in-category in the Industrial $1 million to $5 million group. Excellence In Construction competition winners were announced at the Association’s annual banquet held on October 24 at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate.
The $3.2 million W.H.A.T. project was completed earlier this year under Construct Two Group’s comprehensive construction management contract with Polk County and the City of Winter Haven.
Along with a 5,800-square-foot core building that houses ticket sales, administrative office, break room, and both public and staff restrooms, the transit facility is composed of twelve covered pavilions averaging 1,500-square-feet each, twelve bus bays and canopied walkways.
The two-acre site located within the urban core of the City of Winter Haven provided several challenges to the construction team such as limited laydown area for contractors to store materials and equipment.
Close coordination between the Construct Two project management team and its subcontractors insured that equipment and materials arrived as crews were ready to install.
Additionally, the 100,000-yard concrete pour needed to cover the site with an 8-inch foundation was scheduled to begin at 3:00 a.m. to avoid interference with morning traffic.
Pickett-Hunter Associates of Bartow, Fla., was the project’s architect. Keith Williams (bottom right photo) is president and CEO of Construct Two.
