Ready for the Bell on Day One
Silver Valley Elementary School, part of the Queen Creek Unified School District, is situated in the Cadence master-planned community in Mesa. When the project began, the site boundaries were established but none of the surrounding street or utility infrastructure had been designed. That meant our team wasn’t just engineering a school site. We were coordinating with the master developer’s engineer to bring the infrastructure around it to life at the same time.
The scope required close collaboration across multiple stakeholders to align utility connections, street access, and site grading with a community that was still actively taking shape around the school. Every decision had to account for what existed, what was coming, and what needed to be in place before students arrived.
39 Days From Proposal to Full Construction Plans
A project of this size typically takes three to four months to move from fee proposal to completed construction plans. Our team did it in thirty-nine days. That timeline wasn’t the result of cutting corners. It came from efficient planning, tight coordination, and a team that understood what was at stake. Silver Valley Elementary opened on schedule for the 2019 school year, and students walked through the doors on the first day without ever knowing how close the clock was cutting it.
