The Citizen M Hotel is in Seattle’s Pioneer Square neighborhood. The 10-story, 216-room hotel is located near the waterfront with views of the Puget Sound. The $54 million hotel’s lower floors are constructed upon PT decks, while the upper six floors are load-bearing steel stud framing.

Working closely with architect Gensler, general contractor Mortenson, and Performance Contracting’s in-house sales, preconstruction, panel shop, field, and management, the Citizen M Pioneer Square project has been the ultimate team effort. Performance Contracting’s scope included interior and exterior metal stud framing, exterior sheathing, gypsum board assemblies, weather air barriers, thermal and batt insulation and metal decking.

Performance Contracting elected to panelize the entirety of the load-bearing stud framing, including the metal decked floor panels. The process started months in advance of onsite construction with the Performance Contracting BIM department and panel shop team. A total of 710 panel tickets were produced, revised through rounds of collaboration, and forwarded to Performance Contracting’s panel shop to build and erect.

Performance Contracting utilized just-in-time manufacturing to deliver, pick and set a full truckload of panels each day until top-out on the constrained site footprint. This was accomplished with the help of Performance Contracting’s suppliers and shipping contacts. Having the exterior sheathing and air weather barrier of the exterior walls as part of the panel led to less time spent on mast platform lifts on site, expediting the schedule and minimizing risk exposure working in the elements.
