Draper & Associates was engaged by the general contractor to provide scheduling and project control services for the Ed Isakson Alpharetta YMCA, a $5 million project.

Supporting tools included the Action Item Agenda, which tracked key decisions and actions; the Trend Analysis Chart, which projected the impact of current progress on overall project completion; and the Material Status Log, which identified the status of key materials.

Draper & Associates provided both construction schedule development and construction monitoring services during all phases of the project. Draper & Associates conducted bi-weekly update meetings during the construction phase, reviewing progress with the Owner, General Contractor, and all active Subcontractors. Near Term Schedules, detailed day-to-day implementation schedules derived from the Overall Project Schedule, served as the focal point of discussion during the update meetings.

Located in North Fulton County, this is the largest non-facility YMCA in the nation. This 41,000-square-foot family facility features a teen center, climbing wall, family dressing rooms, computer tutorial lab, and a personal fitness testing center in addition to the core facilities. The center's facilities include a basketball court, an 8-lane swimming pool, an aerobics workout area, and full locker room facilities.

Despite a late "Notice to Proceed" forcing a major part of the structure's enclosure and roofing activities into the winter period, the facility was completed and opened on schedule.
