What happens when every project participant can work from complete, governed information? The FY19 Mountain Home Air Force Base Medical Treatment Facility conversion provides a documented example.

A $24 Million Military Healthcare Renovation

The Mountain Home project converted inpatient space to outpatient space within an existing hospital in Idaho. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers engaged MySmartPlans at the beginning of the design phase to manage project information across design, construction, initial outfitting and closeout.

MySmartPlans served as the independent information-governance layer for the project. Our Project Information Manager attended Project Delivery Team meetings, monitored missing documentation, organized the current record and helped stakeholders work from connected information instead of scattered files.

Visibility Where It Had Been Missing

In a written project assessment, USACE Project Manager Kevin King stated that MySmartPlans had “created visibility where there has not been in the past.” He credited the service with auditing, organizing and presenting project information in one location—helping the project save time and money while strengthening accountability.

The project debrief documented several practical improvements:

• Stakeholders reviewed design submittals and binders in real time.
• Review comments were connected to the associated drawings.
• The ResCon conference was completed in half the allotted time with greater accuracy.
• Missing and inaccurate information was identified before it could become accepted project history.
• Turnover information was assembled from Day One and available as the contractor left the site.

The Documented Result

Three months ahead of schedule. Under budget. No modifications.

Those outcomes were not created by another meeting or another disconnected software platform. They were supported by a complete, transparent and governed project record that gave decision-makers access to the facts.

In recognition of MySmartPlans’ contribution, co-founder Shelley Armato was invited to participate in the project’s ribbon-cutting photograph. The invitation represented something larger: an owner-focused, woman-founded small business had earned its place at the table by bringing measurable transparency and accountability to a complex federal healthcare project.

Build with the Complete Record

Military and public healthcare facilities cannot afford institutional amnesia. Every decision, submission, review comment, equipment record and commissioning document must remain connected—not only during construction, but throughout the facility’s operating life.

MySmartPlans gives owners one independent, date- and time-stamped source of project knowledge from planning through turnover and operations.

One source. Only facts. Asked and answered.
