Every decision on a hospital project affects something else. Budget, schedule, operations, patient care. They're all connected.
As Construction Manager, C.D. Smith works alongside owners and design partners throughout planning and preconstruction.
Projects like the inpatient bed tower at HSHS St. Mary's Hospital Medical Center in Green Bay are uniquely complex. They require transforming existing infrastructure into modern, high-performing healthcare environments while maintaining strict standards for quality, patient safety and operational continuity.
C.D. Smith's seasoned team of healthcare construction experts apply thoughtful risk and opportunity management, strategic recommendations and disciplined budget control to balance needs, wants and long-term performance goals.
It's detailed work, but that's what it takes to get the job done right the first time. C.D. Smith brings boots-on-the-ground experience, a measure-twice-cut-once mentality and a clear understanding of the scope and the end goal.
The new inpatient bed tower is part of HSHS St. Mary's broader campus modernization efforts, expanding capacity while supporting the future healthcare needs of the Green Bay community.
"We hired C.D. Smith to be the Construction Manager for the new inpatient bed tower at St. Mary's in Green Bay. Utilizing a combination of both traditional pre-construction efforts and 'Big Room' approach for budget and schedule working sessions this team has brought the project within budget. I have been extremely impressed with this team's attention to detail, organization, communication and creative thinking throughout the entire process. This team is showing exactly why it is important to bring a CM on board early to help navigate today's volatile construction climate."
Brian Adams
Senior Director, Healthcare Strategic Advisory, Ankura
"We lead by solving challenges early, delivering quality our clients can count on and showing up as a true partner from day one through long after the project is complete."
Chad Kraus
Project Executive, C.D. Smith Construction
Early construction manager involvement gives owners, designers and project teams the opportunity to evaluate budget, schedule, constructability and project risks together. It creates greater alignment during planning and supports more informed decisions throughout the project.
A Big Room approach is a Lean construction practice that brings owners, designers and construction managers together for collaborative working sessions focused on budget, schedule and project coordination. The shared planning process improves communication, transparency and decision making across the project team.
Healthcare construction requires balancing patient safety, operational continuity, infrastructure upgrades and long-term facility performance, often while work takes place around active healthcare operations. That level of coordination demands experienced planning, disciplined execution and close collaboration among all project stakeholders.
