As president and founder of Spring Roc, LLC, Neevon has well over 15 years of project management and construction supervision experience on a wide variety of health care, retail, residential, industrial and other development projects. His vast experience has allowed him to work closely with clients, owners and design professionals alike.  His growth within the industry has allowed him to learn the building process from the ground up.  As you can see below, Neevon’s career has exposed and educated him on every aspect of the construction management process.  The time spent at each position throughout his career - plan clerk, estimator, scheduler, project manager, supervisor, executive, and now a company principle and consultant - has given him a unique knowledge and ability to find the solutions each client needs to reach or exceed his/her project goals.
 
Neevon worked with Humphrey’s and Harding, Inc. from 1995 to 1998 where he shared in the responsibilities of project estimating, clerking, budgeting, procurement and management. Neevon was the Associate Project Manager for the $42 million Congo Gorilla Rainforest Exhibit at the Bronx Zoo. 

From 1998 to 2001, Neevon worked for Jeffrey M. Brown Associates as a Project Manager responsible for a variety of health care and retail projects. From 1998 to 1999, he was responsible for a $12 million, 150,000-square-foot occupied renovation and a 26,000-square-foot new building at the Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in Brooklyn.  From 1999 to 2000, Neevon established a relationship with Best Buy, Inc. building two new department stores in Westbury and Bay Shore, Long Island. The Westbury Best Buy was a complete gut and renovation of an existing Bob’s Stores to create a 45,000-square-foot sales and storage facility, completed three months early. The Bay Shore store was a 42,000-square-foot sales floor and storage facility, inclusive of a new car stereo installation bay, a new loading dock, new site utilities and a new exterior parking lot.  These two projects totaled $7 million. In 2001, he managed the $3 million renovation of the 12th floor Orthopedics Unit and the new 6th floor MRI facility for the Hospital for Joint Diseases.

In 2001, Neevon became a partner at T.

Accomplishments

WASA Studio A Architect & Engineers
New York, NY

This $1.5 million, 30,000-square-foot gut renovation was completed as a design build project by partnering with the client.  Three floors were renovated one at a time with a 6 week schedule for each.  Each floor move-in date was met and the client relocated personnel to the new spaces over weekends without any downtime or loss of productivity.  As the CM, all aspects of the project were coordinated including IT, furniture and the associated moves to the completed spaces.


Bronx Lebanon Hospital Center
Emergency Room, LINAC & MRI Facilities
Bronx, NY

These three projects began simultaneously on May 15, 2001 within this occupied facility.  The existing Emergency Room required both expansion and modernization.  The ER project was broken into five phases in order to minimize disruption to ongoing hospital functions. Our team of hospital experts assisted the design team in creating a phasing plan that allowed the 13th busiest Emergency Room in the country to function throughout the construction process.  The MRI facility was fast tracked in order to minimize the hospital’s overhead cost for a temporary MRI trailer facility.  The new facility required new shielding, mechanical & electrical services and the close coordination of all, trades including the hospital’s direct vendors, to ensure the timely completion of this project.  The MRI was completed almost one month early. The LINAC project required a massive coordination effort and structural bracing in order to transfer the new equipment through the occupied hospital.  All of these projects were finished on schedule in January of 2003, even though the original scope of work was increased by the hospital by 35% during the course of the project. Total project cost $8.75 million.

 
Century 21 Department Home Store
Brooklyn, NY

This $5.5 million, 30,000-square-foot facility, including an 18,000-square-foot addition to a 12,000-square-foot, three-story renovation of the existing warehouse building, was completed in five months. The building construction included new foundations, new site utilities, a parking lot, structural construction for the future addition of a second floor, and an architecturally designed, acid-stained, decorative concrete slab finish. In addition to the construction, coordination and management services were provided for the owners’ data, communications, loose fixture and perimeter fixtures installation.

Hospital for Joint Diseases 12th Floor Orthopedic Unit
New York, NY

A $3 million renovation of an occupied orthopedic unit and radiation treatment room. This project was split into two phases. The construction included new nurses stations, core bathrooms, new nurse call systems with temporary stations for the phasing, new medical gas systems, new patient head walls and patient room and bathroom renovations. A new radiation facility on the 6th floor was constructed with structural steel reinforcement from the floor below. This area consisted of a new patient waiting area, exam room space and a dedicated HVAC system to cool the new equipment.
 

Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation
Brooklyn, NY

This nursing home project was a $12 million, 150,000-sq ft renovation and a 26,000-sq ft new building. The renovations included a complete kitchen renovation inclusive of new quarry tile floors, new kitchen equipment, and a conveyor system. In addition, each of the five floors which included upgrading of each of the core nurses stations, resident tube and shower rooms, bathroom and corridor finishes. The existing core mechanical, electrical and sprinkler systems were renovated and completed while the facility maintained usage in all non-construction areas. Each of the 176 resident rooms were renovated to include new light fixtures, wall coverings, millwork and new remote heating and air cooling systems. On an adjacent site, a new three-story, 26,000  sq ft building was constructed out of the ground for rehabilitation services, ambulatory care and physician offices.
