RO is thrilled to announce that our monumental project, the Texas Health Rockwall Addition & Renovation, has been honored with the prestigious TEXO Distinguished Building Award in the General Contractor – Health Care 3 category (projects over $30 million). This recognition not only reflects the outstanding efforts of our team but also underscores the innovative solutions and unwavering commitment to excellence that defined this project from its inception.

The Texas Health Rockwall project was a true testament to the power of collaboration and innovation in the construction industry. Spanning three years, this project entailed a comprehensive 64,000 square foot addition, featuring critical facilities such as a Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), pharmacy, operating rooms, and more. Additionally, a 51,000 square foot renovation and a third-floor tenant finish-out were completed to enhance the existing infrastructure of the hospital.

Amidst the complexities of a multi-phase construction project, one of the most notable hurdles we encountered was navigating the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The project commenced in December 2019, and within three months, COVID-19 emerged as a significant concern. The hospital had to establish new protocols during construction, particularly in the renovation phase where certain facilities remained open. RO collaborated with the Rockwall County Office of Emergency Management to erect a temporary facility tent. In response to the evolving situation with COVID-19, RO promptly provided power and water barricades as needed.  Despite these obstacles, our team remained resilient, ensuring the continued hospital operations and prioritizing the safety of all stakeholders.

Throughout the Texas Health Rockwall project, we leveraged cutting-edge solutions such as spatial coordination, laser scanning, and enhanced visualization to streamline processes and optimize efficiency. One of the key innovations we embraced on this project, was Procore. Procore allowed us to revolutionize communication and collaboration on THR and earned us the esteemed Procore Groundbreaker Excellence in Innovation Award.

For such a large, multi-phase project, we employed our unique Collaborative Project Planning™ process to ensure meticulous quality control measures were implemented in proactive planning and scheduling. Utilizing the CPP™ , our team remained agile and adaptable, ultimately delivering the project on time and within budget.

The TEXO Distinguished Building Award is not just a testament to our achievements on the Texas Health Rockwall project; it is a celebration of the collective effort, dedication, and ingenuity of everyone involved. As we reflect on this remarkable journey, we are filled with gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to the advancement of healthcare infrastructure and make a lasting impact on the community.
