Roosevelt, NY

• Municipalities  • Project Management  • Owner’s Representative

Sofola and Associates was retained as in-house consultants to Legacy Construction, LLC for the overall planning, owner’s representation, and construction management services to the Roosevelt Public Library Board of Directors in their project to expand the town’s Public Library.  The project included the removal of an adjacent brownfield site to accommodate a 5,000 square foot expansion to facilitate a new children’s library, cultural center, and outdoor Amphitheatre.   The Sofola & Associates Team was responsible for preliminary programming and establishing a Master Plan for the expansion.  Our services included planning, qualifying, securing, and managing building architectural, engineering, environmental, and construction trade professionals.  Because of the stringent design budget, our Project Management Team developed criteria for a design competition which reduced the overall design fee.  Important to the project’s success was the need for value engineering and 3rd party validation throughout every phase, specifically the design and engineering phases.  Our team, utilizing their expertise in facility and construction management, ensured that design development considered not only the best means and methods in building, but the most economical and efficient materials for long term management and sustainability.
