595 Towers
The Towers Project represents a premier example of high‑end, mixed‑use construction, combining innovative design, exceptional craftsmanship and disciplined project management to deliver a landmark project within the Des Moines metro area. From early planning through final execution, the team demonstrated a strong commitment to collaboration, responsiveness and quality, ensuring alignment with the owner’s vision while managing the inherent complexity of a multi‑use development.
Project success depended on close coordination among architects, engineers, subcontractors and on‑site labor. A collaborative, team‑first culture encouraged open communication and proactive problem‑solving across all disciplines and experience levels, allowing challenges to be addressed efficiently and effectively.
Quality control was a primary focus, particularly given the project’s high‑end exterior envelope and interior finishes. The team implemented a comprehensive documentation and inspection process for exterior weatherproofing, including full installation of a complete ExoAir system in accordance with manufacturer requirements. Regular inspections, photo documentation and manufacturer involvement ensured performance standards were achieved and long‑term warranty requirements were protected.
Effective schedule management was supported through collaborative planning techniques that aligned milestones with contractor input and provided clear short‑ and mid‑term work plans. Value analysis and engineering efforts identified approximately $170,000 in cost savings while preserving design intent, performance goals and aesthetic quality.
