What is at stake.
MRI, CT and PET equipment come from different vendors with their own site requirements. Shielding design depends on final equipment selection, and every change to a room ripples into structure, power and cooling. The owner's budget report was a spreadsheet updated quarterly.
What we are doing.
Beck Franklin's role: cost forecasting. We advise and measure; the contractor builds.
Cost tied to schedule
We built a cost-loaded forecast that ties each equipment package, shielding scope and room fit-out to its schedule activity.
Monthly EAC
An estimate at completion is updated every month from committed costs, pending changes and remaining work.
Change exposure
Pending changes are priced and scheduled before approval, so the owner sees both impacts at once.
Vendor milestones
Equipment delivery, rigging and acceptance dates are tracked as separate milestones with their own float.
Where it stands.
In an imaging building, the equipment decides the cost. We tie every forecast line to the room and the date it belongs to.
Cost engineer, Beck Franklin
