Renaud Consulting was engaged to advise the owner of an Oxon Hill, MD shopping center having multiple asphalt and concrete failures as well as ineffective water drainage after a rainstorm.  Renaud personnel determined the scope of work to best meet the client’s need which was also within their budget.  Several capable vendors were invited to bid and met on site to determine the best course of action for this 100,000 square foot parking lot surrounded by a series of operating businesses. The work was divided into phases to minimize disruption to the tenants.  The work was successfully completed within four (4) days including repainting the parking stalls, repainting the yellow curb lanes and concrete pole bases for lighting.  The owner realized a savings of approximately Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000) compared to their original cost expectation which exceeded Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000).
