The Ritz-Carlton Club & Residences at Vail has earned international recognition for its quality-control measures. This month, Graham Frank of Vail Resorts Development Company and Erik Peterson with OAC Management will fly to Orlando, Florida, to join three executives from Old Republic Construction Program Group in presenting the project’s story at the International Risk Management Institute’s annual conference.

Richard Livermore, Executive Vice President for Old Republic Construction Program Group, said:

“I was approached by our president a few months ago to submit a presentation topic to the conference. I knew immediately what I was going to present on: our success with Vail Resorts and OAC Management on implementing a quality program for The Ritz-Carlton Club & Residences at Vail. After five years and 11 projects, we felt this was the quality construction story we wanted to share with our industry. Of all the vendors we’ve partnered with, OAC Management’s Quality Assurance Observation Program produced the best results. We’re honored to have been chosen to present and are excited about the opportunity.”

Graham Frank, Director of Development for Vail Resorts Development Company, said:

“This is a very exciting opportunity for us to present to such an exclusive international audience. We knew we were doing the right thing when we decided to hire OAC Management to help us achieve our ‘QAO Certified’ designation, and have come to realize that we are in the front seat of pioneering a new level of designation that will, in all reality, become as identifiable as a LEED certification.”

Erik Peterson, President of OAC Management, added:

“This is a great opportunity to share the vision and purpose of our company with the insurance, real estate development, and construction sectors—that is, to infuse a culture of excellence into each one of our projects that will transform individuals and products into lasting models that will ultimately revolutionize our industry.”
