Loven Contracting provided preconstruction and construction services as a completion contractor for the New Clinic Building at the Sunset Community Health Center in Yuma, Arizona. This new facility enables Sunset Health to offer an expanded range of services to their clients, including a new pharmacy and dentist office. The 13,242 SF, two-story wood and steel frame building, also consolidates the administration offices and training/conference rooms into one unified space and includes an upgraded parking lot and landscaping for the entire campus.

As a trusted and reliable partner for Sunset Health, Loven Contracting provided a fast and thorough preconstruction evaluation of the project. Our services included a budget review, subcontractor scope review, red-lined and updated drawings, additional design for incomplete drawings, and resurveying the site.

As a part of the value engineering process, Loven Contracting worked with the designer and client during the preconstruction phase to achieve significant savings through reducing the quantity of metal siding on the building, saving the client money both in first costs and in potential long term maintenance issues.

Loven Contracting remodeled Flagstaff Medical Center’s new 39,085SF Women, Infant and Children’s (WIC) Department, spanning both 2nd and 3rd stories of the existing hospital.

This multi-phase project required dynamic and minimally invasive Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA), project management and safety plans. Our team minimized impact on adjacent departments and effectively performed construction within the 100% occupied and active facility. 

This project includes extensive MEP tie-ins to the existing infrastructure and the use of temporary walls and monitored single points of access for all project personnel, material and tool travel. Appropriate security measures were essential in this sensitive environment, and team members performing work on-site were properly badged with photo ID. Regulations are enforced via required sign-in / out system, hourly “headcount” of personnel, and daily inventory of all tools upon hospital entrance. 

In partnership with Northern Arizona Healthcare and Verde Valley Medical Center, Loven Contracting constructed the first free-standing, residence-style Hospice House to serve the local Cottonwood and Sedona communities. Located in Cottonwood, Arizona, this 13,443SF facility features ten private patient rooms with individual patios, two private family rooms, a spacious family kitchen, living area, lobby, dining room, meditation room, staff and nurses stations, and a climatized outdoor patio. The scope of services included value engineering processes and utilities extensions that enables the facility to fulfill programming needs.

The Verde Valley Hospice House incorporates natural tones and materials to provide a peaceful environment for patients and visitors. Other design features include soft natural light and space reserved for meditation.

Loven Contracting completed a successful remodel of the MRI and Ultrasound Suites at Flagstaff Medical Center. This project included removing and replacing the existing MRI imaging machine with new technology and MEP and structural upgrades to the MRI suite and adjacent Ultrasound facility for functionality and finishes.

Removal and replacement of the sensitive MRI equipment required the use of a crane. Working hand-in-hand with Flagstaff Medical Center staff, Loven Contracting developed a dynamic site safety plan to use this equipment on the active and occupied campus.
