The Goddard School Kings Crossing

Construction of new 1-story 10,200 square foot Goddard School facility in Charlotte, NC.  The floor plan was customized slightly based on the owner’s requests as this was a second facility for the franchisee.  J.D. Goodrum worked closely with the design team to ensure all of the owner’s requests were incorporated and the project stayed within budget. J.D. Goodrum provided multiple cost savings options for a variety of non-prototypical additions the owner requested, as well as prototype upgrades and lessons learned from previous prototype builds. Unique to the interior was a large multipurpose / gym space featuring a climbing wall.  The exterior building design was non-prototypical, JDG worked with the owner and Goddard Corporate to determine a solution that appeased all parties and also remained within budget. Outside play area was designed as turf and included an interactive sensory play area. J.D. Goodrum worked closely with designers in a Design/Build format throughout the design process to ensure project stayed within budget.  This included pre-construction pricing at milestone design phases, as well as input on methods and techniques to keep the project within budget. JDG coordinated with the town and county approval process and inspections, and state inspections for educational and child-care facilities.
