MULTIFAMILY · BISHOP ARTS DISTRICT, DALLAS

Bishop Modern

Structure, utilities, and sitework. One connected construction story.

2,700 cubic yards of concrete · Elevated podium and deck · Building-to-street scope · 99,300 sq ft multifamily complex · 4 stories · underground parking

Bishop Modern brings structural concrete, waterproofing, underground electrical, drainage, and plumbing together on a multifamily site. The scope reaches from the elevator pit and slab on grade to the elevated podium, then out to the transformer pad, sidewalks, streets, and parking areas.

Recovering the schedule

The challenge. Earthwork delays put pressure on the construction schedule at Bishop Modern.

The response. Under Franz Ronnie’s direction, the team took over the earthwork contract and brought additional equipment and personnel to the site. Larger concrete pours formed part of the effort to make up lost time.

The result. The team recovered time and completed its contracted work on schedule.

The work behind the project

8 Pillars Concrete: dirt work, concrete, and waterproofing; columns, slab on grade, elevator pit, reinforcing steel, post-tension cables, elevated podium/deck, beams, and walls; transformer pad, paving, main-road/street work, sidewalks, and parking spaces. Owner-reported concrete quantity: approximately 2,700 cubic yards.

Twins Engineering: electrical and underground electrical work.

From scope decisions to turnover

The confirmed scopes show why development and construction management depend on clear interfaces. These are the planning and coordination priorities this combination of work creates.

01 · Budget and scope

A 2,700-yard concrete package spans very different cost categories. Separate the podium, vertical structure, slab, waterproofing, and paving so quantities, allowances, exclusions, and changes remain visible. Underground electrical and plumbing interfaces belong in that scope review from the beginning.

02 · Design coordination

The elevator pit, transformer pad, utility routes, sleeves, drains, and waterproofing transitions connect multiple drawing sets. Establish the current documents and route questions to the responsible design professionals before the affected work proceeds.

03 · Sequencing

Underground work, reinforcement, embeds, inspections, and concrete placement form linked work stages. The key handoff is knowing what must be reviewed and released before access is closed or the next trade starts.

04 · Subcontractor coordination

Concrete and waterproofing meet electrical and plumbing at penetrations, pads, underground crossings, and building connections. Define who supplies, locates, installs, verifies, and protects each interface so responsibility remains clear between trade packages.

05 · Schedule

Connect the structural sequence with underground work fronts, deliveries, required reviews, and site access. A useful look-ahead identifies the decisions and materials each phase needs before crews and equipment are committed.

06 · Field execution

Original ground and drone photographs document site preparation, reinforcement, concrete construction, and the relationship between the structure and surrounding streets. The gallery puts the scale and trade interfaces in view.

07 · Turnover and stewardship

Plan the handoff alongside the work: applicable inspection records, utility information, as-built documents, waterproofing and product records, punch items, and warranties. Those records help the owner understand and maintain what remains after construction.

Project design and required professional services are assigned to the responsible architects, engineers, and licensed providers.
