NICK WALKER: Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers. It's our every-other-week opportunity to talk about what matters to you, whether your project is a multiyear, multimillion dollar venture, or a short-term undertaking with a small budget. We want to give you some principles that will work for you wherever you find yourself on the spectrum. And we do that by talking to people who, like you, find themselves taking the lead on projects big and small. I'm your host, Nick Walker, and with me are a couple of guys who are always thinking big, Andy Crowe and Bill Yates. Andy, today we're going to get an insider's view on a project that has already made a mark on America's pastime. We're talking baseball. ANDY CROWE: Yeah, this is an interesting one for me, Nick. It's always interesting to see, get insight into a project that's different than anything I've ever managed. And so I'm thankful to have our guest, Chris Britton, today. And, by the way, Happy Thanksgiving to our listeners. NICK WALKER: Well, let's meet him. Chris Britton is Division Manager at Brasfield and Gorrie, one of the largest privately held construction firms in the nation. The company has built its reputation on a variety of types of projects, from commercial to educational, aerospace to governmental. It's a company that prides itself on giving back to the community. Among the projects they've been involved in are the Georgia Aquarium Dolphin Expansion and Sea Lion Exhibit, the College Football Hall of Fame and Chick-fil-A Fan Experience, and the Emory Sports Medicine Complex. One of its most recent projects was the two-and-a-half-year-long construction of the new home for the Atlanta Braves baseball team, SunTrust Park. Chris, it's a pleasure to have you here on Manage This. CHRIS BRITTON: It's great to be here. NICK WALKER: Well, let me run through a few statistics on SunTrust Park; okay? I'm sure you're familiar with all these: over one million square feet, 41,500 seats, 4,000 club seats, 32 premium suites totaling 144,000 square feet, three club lounges, four seating decks with 90-foot overhangs, 10 escalators, 14 elevators, and that's not the half of it. This was, in many observers' eyes, at least a five-year project, maybe more. It was finished in 29 months. CHRIS BRITTON: That's correct. NICK WALKER: How did that happen? CHRIS BRITTON: It happens in 29 months with a lot of planning; right? So early on in the process Mike Plant, the Atlanta Braves, they hired Populous as the Architect. Populous has a number of consultants that are part of their project team. We were brought onboard as the construction manager, and we're actually – it wasn't just Brasfield and Gorrie. We formed a four-way joint venture which was American Builders 2017, which is Brasfield and Gorrie, Mortenson, Barton Malow, and New South. We brought four different companies together to be able to build the job. We got involved early on in the design process. ANDY CROWE: I want to ask you there, you brought four companies together. But what was your company's role? What was Brasfield and Gorrie's role in managing or working with those other companies? CHRIS BRITTON: Yeah, we were the managing partner, so we were in charge of the joint venture. ANDY CROWE: I guess that's a fun place to be. I'm a big fan of the model of one head to pat and one butt to kick. So you were the one head, and the other end of the equation, as well. CHRIS BRITTON: That's right, that's right. So back to the question. So we got involved early on in the design process of the project. And Populous, they actually had a pretty big challenge ahead of them because they had a very short period of time to be able to design the project. And as soon as they started putting those conceptual designs together, we had to start putting costs together on it. And as those drawings went from conceptual all the way up th...
