Blog: Update – High School Benchmarks

April 22, 2019

We’ve updated our High School Benchmark analysis in our Ponderings blog post ‘Update: High School Benchmarks – We are not alone

Arlington, Belmont, Waltham, Saugus and Somerville are five high school building projects navigating through similar challenges — dense suburbs with comparably scaled projects being undertaken within the same timeframe. The Arlington High School is a complex project with many variables. But we’re not alone: in this area, in this market, and in our costs–we are in very good company.  

Note: This blog provides an update to the previous benchmark analysis performed earlier in the project.
