Task:

Manufacture, deliver & install over 100 Sunbrella fabric awnings for a high profile, fast track, ground up construction of the largest outlet mall in the Midwest.


Challenges:

Track 29 RFQs for major changes to meet tenant needs, coordinate with more than 20 subcontractors with the same deadline, and provide the completed installation within a 2 week window just prior to Black Friday opening date.


Solutions:

Work closely with the general contractor to establish procedures for field verification, labeling, RFQ tracking, shop drawing submittals, and job site safety.


Implementation:

Finished frames were staged on site, so that as awning locations were cleared for install, fabric could be applied and installation would take place within 24hrs.


Materials:

“Steel Stitch”  Staple system frames, Sunbrella 60” and80” 100% acrylic fabric, and Chameleon brand zip strip.
