Boston – On Monday, June 24, Shawmut Design and Construction joined Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino to raise the final piece of steel at the Ferdinand Building in Dudley Square.
This ceremony represents a major milestone for the $115 million Dudley Municipal Building, which is on budget and expected to be completed by January 2015. The building is estimated to hold 500 municipal employees from the Boston Public School Department. The facility will also include space for street-level retail businesses.
The project is being developed with Shawmut Design and Construction through the CM-At-Risk method of public project development, which involves the construction management firm early in the design process in order to deliver the job within a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). This method will allow for a timely, quality, phased construction.
