Our case study contractor, ECC, has received partial TCO approval from the AHJ for floors 1 and 2 and the garage. Olympic Hotel and Resort wants to conduct a ‘soft’ opening for a small one-week conference for 50 guests. The hotel only has 30 rooms on the second floor so a nearby hotel will handle the balance and Olympic has arranged for a shuttle service. The restaurant is not yet leased out so a caterer will be providing meals.

a. What financial considerations will you as ECC’s jobsite cost engineer need to make to keep your and the client’s costs separate? 

b. What warranty issues need to be addressed? 

c. This is not a safety textbook, but what safety issues need to be addressed? 

d. What accommodations did you and the hotel need to make to convince the AHJ to issue you a TCO?
