Following the successful passage of a $450 million bond measure in November 2017, Federal Way Public Schools embarked on an ambitious capital improvement program to rebuild and modernize several aging school facilities. WT was engaged by the district from March 2018 through July 2020 to provide comprehensive cost management services across five major school projects:
- Lake Grove Elementary School
- Mirror Lake Elementary School
- Wildwood Elementary School
- Olympic View K–8 School
- Thomas Jefferson High School
WT’s role encompassed early-stage cost modeling to assist with budget and bond planning, detailed cost estimating and control during design phases, and active cost management advocacy with design and contracting partners. Our services ensured that each project remained within budgetary constraints while meeting the district’s educational and community objectives.
