"To better serve our Midwest customers and grow our operations, we determined the timing was right to open an office in Chicago. We are also excited about our recent contract at Silver Cross Hospital," said Scott Schuff, president and CEO of Schuff International, Inc. "Schuff has been involved with Silver Cross in a design assist capacity since January 2008. We were selected for the project based on our hospital experience and our design/build services."
"Schuff has among the most advanced design/build departments in the steel industry. Through early involvement on a project in the preconstruction phase, Schuff is instrumental in lowering construction costs through design assist and value engineering. Design/build services can save clients money and often result in a more favorable construction schedule.
