Office complex construction on track

FAIRMONT Because of a great willingness to work and teamwork among the contractor and local subcontractors, the West Virginia State Office Complex on Adams Street in Fairmont is right on track, according to Ned Luthy, project architect and principal with Omni Associates.

Theyre all just willing to jump in and get it done, Luthy said. Every subcontractor thats on the project is engaged.

Coordinating subcontractors can get complicated. Thats why Luthy said they spent extra time early on in the project setting a plan in place.

We did a lot of that effort, and I think were reaping that benefit now, Luthy said.

Luthy said that part of what makes working with the local subcontractors work so well is the people themselves.

Theyre working together because theyre West Virginia people, Luthy said. They have a lot of pride in their craft, and in getting the job done.

Among both the contractor and the subcontractors, Luthy said the workers have a lot of pride in their work.

Theres certainly something that drives everybody thats beyond the contract, Luthy said. Theyre getting it done above and beyond that across the board.

Luthy said that this stage in the project is the heaviest for the billing cycles.

Weve got construction going on, a large crane on Adams Street and on Quincy. Weve got exterior construction and a tremendous amount of interior construction, and were taking advantage of the weather, Luthy said.
