Key Facts
Nemaha delivered $30,000 in savings by redesigning the drainage system without impacting project quality or schedule.
Despite significant scope changes, Nemaha completed the project on time through strong coordination and communication.
This multi-purpose field was the latest in a series of projects Nemaha has completed for IWCC, following the construction of their indoor field house and new baseball/softball facilities.
Challenge Met
Nemaha maintained consistent communication with the owner and engineer through weekly meetings and real-time updates, enabling collaborative decision-making and minimizing disruption. Strategic adjustments to the drainage system saved the owner $30K, which helped offset the added scope. Despite the complexities, the team stayed on schedule and delivered a high-quality field that integrated seamlessly with the rest of the site.
