Building 106 Level 1 Expansion
Construction of a 3,800 SF Class 1000 cleanroom addition to Freescale’s Building 106, directly adjacent to an active 100mm wafer production line. The new facility was designed to house a prototype for the company’s first-ever 200mm wafer production line, a critical step in producing a groundbreaking 4Mbit Magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) device.
With millions of dollars in custom production equipment already on order, the completion date was non-negotiable. To achieve this, BGI maintained strict schedule control through daily on-site meetings and weekly coordination sessions with the owner, architect, and all active subcontractors. This highly collaborative effort ensured that the clean room addition was delivered on schedule, supporting Freescale’s advancement in semiconductor technology.

Client Testimonial
“Since we are closing out the Freescale RCP Expansion Project, I thought it would be an opportune time to comment on the performance of your project superintendent, Steve Schmitz. I feel Steve did an outstanding job managing the day-to-day activities of this fast track project. Steve’s persistence and determination were tested regularly by subcontractors and even Freescale’s frequent changes. His broad construction knowledge and ability to work with many divergent groups, including those within Freescale, greatly contributed to the success of the project. Steve always showed a willingness to assist members of the team in achieving a common goal.
