Built to Lead

As program manager for BMC, TOCCI guided delivery method selection across project sites and oversaw all phases of execution. The team organized the owner-controlled insurance program, led the integration of digital information into the Building Information Model (BIM), and structured project teams. TOCCI managed budgets and schedules, controlled costs, and upheld safety and quality from start to finish.

"As an industry leader in construction technology with healthcare experience, TOCCI was able to help design and implement processes that will transform our clinical campus and ensure that we can continue to provide the highest quality care in an environment that meets the needs of both patients and staff.”

Driving Delivery Without Disruption

TOCCI provided strategic program management support for the Yawkey Center renovation, helping coordinate construction while maintaining uninterrupted hospital operations. The focus was on effective communication, seamless coordination across teams, scheduling, and integration of digital tools to keep the project aligned and on track.

Challenge

The Yawkey Building renovation included the creation of a highly sensitive, fully operational maternity and neonatal unit. The project involved working above active clinical spaces while integrating new patient-focused amenities and support areas without disrupting hospital operations.

Solution

As program manager, we guided the project delivery strategy, implementing a BIM-based approach tailored to the Yawkey Building. TOCCI oversaw insurance planning, schedule alignment, and daily coordination between BMC, the design team, and the contractor, ensuring seamless communication and safe operations throughout construction.

Result

Through proactive planning and real-time coordination, TOCCI helped deliver a complex renovation that expanded BMC’s inpatient capacity—on time, within budget, and without compromising clinical operations.

TOCCI was selected by Boston Medical Center as the program manager for its four‑year, $430M Clinical Campus Redesign—including renovations to the Menino Pavilion, Moakley, and Yawkey Buildings, plus the construction of a pedestrian transport bridge.
