High School Campus Masterplan Renovation
Education (K–12) · $40M+
Multi-phase renovation within an occupied campus environment requiring continuous operations during construction.
01 — The Challenge
A masterplan renovation of an active high school campus entered pre-design over budget, with misalignment between scope, cost, and stakeholder expectations.
Phased construction within an occupied campus added complexity to sequencing and cost control.
- Continued cost escalation
- Redesign cycles and delayed decisions
- Disruption to ongoing campus operations
- Misalignment between design intent and funding
02 — The Structuring Approach
A structured alignment process integrated cost, scope, and phasing early.
- Established a cost baseline tied to program assumptions
- Identified primary cost drivers and misalignment
- Facilitated targeted value engineering
- Coordinated phasing with cost and schedule
03 — Outcome
- Project aligned with budget targets early
- Reduced need for redesign and late-stage corrections
- Defined phasing strategy for active campus conditions
- Improved confidence in execution
Budget and execution were not resolved later — they were established early through structured alignment and disciplined decision-making.
Project experience reflects work performed by the Tenon team in prior roles.
