Value Delivered
Dynalectric Company (Colorado) performed electrical construction services for the Denver Art Museum’s Frederic C. Hamilton building. As part of the museum’s expansion, our team also made improvements to the Morgan Wing and the Palettes restaurant during construction.
Dynalectric Colorado quickly responded to scope of work changes, which doubled the size of the original scope and extended the project timeline. To meet various shifts in scheduling and priorities, our crews worked in multiple areas simultaneously.
We finished four areas ahead of schedule so the client could occupy them before we completed construction. By diligently tracking document flow and updating file drawings, we successfully delivered the project.
