The International Union of Operating Engineers (“IUOE”), an international trade union, selected JM Zell to oversee the ground-up construction of its International Training & Education Center outside of Houston, Texas. The International Training & Education Center is situated on 235 acres and is comprised of 9 buildings totaling 220,000 square feet. The facility features 300 dedicated dormitory units, office, cafeteria, fitness, and recreation spaces in addition to classroom and heavy equipment training areas.
Over the 24-month construction period, IUOE relied on JM Zell to provide a full range of owner’s representation and project management services, including on-site construction oversight. JM Zell’s accurate reporting mechanisms enabled IUOE to feel confident in maintaining open communication with its members. In addition to providing project management functions, JM Zell was also instrumental in coordinating tax credits resulting in significant budget savings on behalf of the client.
Since completion, JM Zell has also implemented an emergency generator, a crane field training expansion, a stationary engineering training facility, an emergency water supply system, and the sale of surplus land. JM Zell’s strong leadership and project management experience enabled IUOE to advance and strengthen its training facilities in an efficient yet thorough manner.
