For commercial construction projects, particularly within specialized healthcare facilities, cabinetry must be customized for task-specific functionality. Holland’s Custom Cabinets delivered storage and work solutions for the Southern California GI & Liver Center’s Chula Vista location, an installation that required meticulous planning and on-site execution with project partner Jacor Construction.
Awarded the project through a standard competitive bid process, Holland’s demonstrated a strategic fit for the budget while guaranteeing high standards of compliance, quality, and service throughout this comprehensive commercial installation. Holland’s team was proud to serve as a reliable, behind-the-scenes partner, supporting Jacor Construction in delivering a complex facility efficiently and effectively.
Mastering Multi-Trade Coordination
The success of a comprehensive commercial project is defined by the quality of its coordination, especially when a two to three week installation schedule hinges on clear, strategic communication with numerous other trades planned over six months.
Holland’s process seamlessly supports project coordination:
- Pre-Construction Measurement: To ensure precision, Holland’s team visits the site to measure the entire building when it is framed with studs, before the drywall, ceiling grid, or mechanical components are installed. This allows cabinets to be built and ready for immediate installation once the space is prepared.
- Strategic On-Site Sequencing: Holland’s installation team coordinates their work to “piggyback” on the progress of other subcontractors, following electrical or plumbing teams to ensure each cabinet goes in at the exact moment the area is ready.
- Logistical Efficiency: To minimize disruption in the active work areas, for this project, Holland’s delivered the entirety of the fabricated cabinets to a small storage area behind the building and moved materials into the facility as needed.
This methodical coordination and communication enables the successful completion of projects, even with unexpected setbacks. During this installation, the breakroom and another area flooded due to a fire sprinkler leak, recalls Ray Anderson, Holland’s Commercial Estimator. “The flood was an unavoidable site issue, but our ability to quickly adjust and coordinate with the Jacor team and other trades was critical to our shared success.”
“We know how to support contractors on projects where timelines are tight and quality is paramount,” Randy Schreibman, Holland’s Director of Sales & Marketing, notes. “With a robust, local team, we can ramp up, build to spec, and coordinate seamlessly with other trades to ensure installation is a smooth, successful part of your commercial project.”
Chula Vista Medical Cabinets with Jacor Construction
The scope of this installation required a diverse range of cabinetry solutions designed specifically for the Southern California GI & Liver Center’s operations, from administrative needs to patient care. Holland’s provided tailored solutions, including desk-height work surfaces for charting and administrative tasks, overhead storage, and layout efficiencies to accommodate both medical equipment and staff’s personal belongings.
In a medical setting, material selection is critical for adhering to clinical standards and supporting sanitation protocols. Surfaces must be non-porous, easily sanitized, and capable of withstanding constant exposure to cleaning agents and heavy daily use.
For these Chula Vista medical cabinets with Jacor Construction, Holland’s utilized plastic laminate surfaces for all countertops, workstations, and cabinet faces.
This strategic material choice provides:
- Aseptic Integrity: The non-porous nature of plastic laminate ensures surfaces are easily sanitized, a critical requirement for meeting strict healthcare operational standards.
- Superior Durability: Plastic laminate is highly resistant to scratches and impacts, supporting the longevity of the installation in a busy clinical environment.
- Optimized Value: Plastic laminate creates a clean aesthetic while optimizing the investment.
“We understand that in a medical environment you can’t compromise on material; it has to perform, and it has to last,” Anderson adds. “That’s why we engineer for the long-term, and we appreciate partners like Jacor who share that same high bar for longevity in our builds.”
