This senior thesis final report documents the research and conclusions of four analyses of the construction of the Solaire Wheaton project. Solaire Wheaton is a newly constructed luxury apartment building in Wheaton, MD. The project has a 21 month construction schedule and a $31.5 million guaranteed maximum price contract. The analyses presented in this report examine the time extension implications of a self-written owner and contractor agreement, new approaches to safety orientation, and schedule reduction methods of modularization and short interval production scheduling.
