Pintail Solutions partnered with a New England Health System to modernize two vacant med surge units into behavioral health facilities. The goal was to boost capacity and align with modern behavioral healthcare standards. Renovating a 1928-built hospital came with complications uncovered during demolition, impacting timelines and requiring strategic adjustments.
Successfully managing internal politics required broad collaboration and a strong governance model. Pintail Solutions facilitated decision-making and aligned stakeholders by building a comprehensive business plan with clear communication structures.
The project’s $14M estimate clashed with a reduced $11M approved budget. An unexpected $2.5M was also needed for utility updates, intensifying the funding gap.
Years of vacancy had left the facility's utility systems outdated. A full infrastructure upgrade was essential to support behavioral health operations.
COVID-19 delayed construction, impacted materials availability, and complicated logistics. The team adapted to changing conditions while ensuring safety and progress.
We unified the project team and achieved alignment across construction management, A&E, and owner stakeholders. Strong communication helped validate the utility investment and facilitated success under pressure.
Creative sourcing alternatives reduced reliance on delayed or overpriced materials. This flexible approach kept timelines and costs under control.
Despite budget constraints and pandemic-related challenges, the $14M behavioral health renovation was completed on schedule and within budget.
The result: a 28-bed increase in capacity and greater access to critical behavioral health services—changing lives across the region.
