Project Challenge:
In response to government-wide policy changes, various business units within GSA’s Public Buildings Service launched an analysis and process improvement program focused on internal controls and data accuracy. Capitol CREAG’s staff of Analysts were tasked with the challenge of ensuring these mission-critical efforts were delivered on time and in compliance with the goals of the each program.

Project Scope:
Capitol CREAG collaborated with and supported the existing GSA/PBS team through a seasoned group of financial, budget, program and real estate professionals. The Capitol CREAG team assisted in identifying process improvement opportunities, resolving open items and data discrepancies between various information systems and supporting the review and reconciliation of occupancy agreements, revenue streams and portfolio and project performance requirements analysis.

Capitol CREAG provided four separate teams of staff members located within the various Services Centers, the Regional CFO/Financial Management Division, NCR’s Business Management group and the Portfolio and Real Estate divisions.

Project Challenge:
The VA Butler Healthcare facility serves the needs of veterans in western Pennsylvania through its main medical center and four community-based outpatient clinics. The healthcare facility needed an independent advisory team to produce a master plan that would adequately address both current and future requirements despite the divergent healthcare needs of an increasing population of older veterans and recently discharged veterans.

Project Scope:
The VA selected Capitol CREAG to provide a comprehensive strategic Master Plan to assess the current facility and to recommend spatial improvements to the healthcare delivery system. The Capitol
CREAG Team is responsible for overseeing healthcare facility planning, healthcare programming and demographic analysis, facility condition analysis, real estate and market analysis, patient care delivery analysis and cost estimating.
In order to address all medical, social, administrative, and long-term care functions, the Master Plan utilized highest and best use studies and facility condition assessments to recommend improvements in facility layout and usage that would result in improved patient care, performance, increased productivity, and reduced administrative costs. All current and planned construction projects affecting the facility were analyzed and incorporated into the plan, if appropriate. Capitol CREAG developed a five-year design and construction plan, including a master schedule and cost estimates broken down by design, construction, and equipment costs. The plan also recommended delivery options for contract award.
