Project of the Quarter
WPX-Energy Building

Project Specs:
Tulsa, Oklahoma
Architect: BB+M, PLLC of Charlotte, North Carolina
MEP Engineer: BW&A
General Contractor: Flintco
This new multi-story project in downtown is certainly drawing a lot of attention in the Tulsa area. This project is a total of 542,219 sq. ft of prime office space in the heart of town. It consists virtually of a North tower that will be eleven stories at a whopping 177’ in height, a South tower that will be 6 stories tall, 2 level underground parking, and 5 level above grade parking structure with a total of 655 parking spaces. These structures are positioned on the lot to allow for a great Plaza area with landscaping, fountains, tree’s and plenty of patio surrounding the building.
We were fortunate enough to secure a contract on the plumbing and piping only, although this was substantial amounting to a contract consisting of 13,300 plus hours of work to be done. Considering that most of the space is to be tenants space, the project has already grown in scope, to date we have submitted additional pricing that may result in an additional 3,500 manhours in change orders just adding the core and shell finishes and the additional Plaza work to be completed.
Our project Foreman is Jason Nauman who is working hand in hand with Flintco, Integrated Design LLC., and all other trades, as this is an all concrete structure requiring the upmost attention to layout and coordination through all phases of the project. Jason has done a phenomenal job coordinating and planning all the details required for a project this size. It is Obvious that Jason has much knowledge in our trade and performs above and beyond what is required, taking great pride in the product he & his crews produce for our customers.
Action Project Manager: Brian Francis
Action Journeyman Plumber & Foreman: Jason Nauman
