I was in Houston the last two days. Looked at 2 power plants and 1 (22 story Hi-Rise). The Hi-rise has to be one of the most difficult I've seen in 20 years. Its got 3 wings of different stories, steel incased beams, and its within 15' feet of brand new hospital structures. The hospital computer center is right next door and shuts down with vibrations.

During the walk-thru many contractors noticed that some floors were gutted, others had the debris shoved in rooms on floors, and black mastic was present on exterior brick and window tabs.

As part of the submittal with the bid they would like a dust plan. There must be 1,000 intake vents that will have to be protected.

It was a mandatory walk-thru and about 20 contractors were in attendance.
