J. K. Scanlan completes $12m Cape Cod Hospital Mugar fit-out

John Scanlan started J.K. Scanlan Company, Inc. in 1984 and in the past 20+ years it has grown into a $70 million company with over 60 employees. The company is headquartered at the Falmouth Technology Park and is one of the largest healthcare contracting firms in southeastern Massachusetts. Spanning three generations, construction has been a part of the Scanlan family. Growing up surrounded by talk of construction projects from his father and grandfather, John learned early on that complex buildings require the combined expertise found in teams. This belief is a large part of the reason that John Scanlan has been a success in New England's construction industry and the cornerstone of the company environment. At J.K. Scanlan Company, Inc., "Teams Build Buildings." J.K. Scanlan recently completed preconstruction and full construction services for the Cape Cod Hospital Mugar fit-out, pharmacy, pathology and morgue project in Hyannis. The $12 million project consisted of multiple phases constructed simultaneously within and around operating clinical areas. The project began with detailed and thoughtful planning with the many user groups working at the hospital. These efforts spun the creation of a project specific approach plan that went beyond the firm's project construction schedule and focused on particular healthcare specific logistics such as ICRA/life safety plans/methods, phasing, general containment and control tools. One of J.K. Scanlan's strengths is the firm's ability to work in special environments. Healthcare facilities are unique in the design and construction challenges that they present. Issues such as specialized systems, environmental protection and formidable regulatory requirements are of particular note. It is Scanlan's experience that users in the healthcare settings have higher expectations and do not accept any compromises due to the nature of their work. Highly specialized construction systems require a set of unique experience and communication skills to minimize the facility interruptions. As a result of its healthcare projects, J.K. Scanlan has the depth of experience in construction and renovation to deliver a successful project outcome. Scanlan's definition of a successful project is a facility of the highest possible quality delivered on time and within budget while fostering an enjoyable, collaborative experience. John (president) and Richard Scanlan (vice president of operations) remain involved in each project from the initial contact through project completion assuring the team maintains the highest standards. The healthcare division team is comprised of Ward Jaros, project executive, Christy Murphy, senior project manager, Scott Mitchell, project manager, Russ Brown, assistant project manager, as well as many seasoned project superintendents and administrative support. At J.K. Scanlan Co. establishing and maintaining client trust is of paramount importance. J.K. Scanlan does this by ensuring that the highest standards of integrity and customer service are provided to each and every project.
