This project is a GREAT example of Build-It Construction’s ability to share SPACE and resources with another construction management firm during the entire fit-up. Similar to the NBT, this space benefited from a decorative ceiling and millwork package. This project was quite unique as we worked in harmony with a competing Union CM, shared vendors (and space) in order to achieve similar end dates between the demised spaces.

• This project had an aggressive buyout and material procurement deadline.
• All finishes and fixtures were not ‘off the shelf’ and required expediting shipments to meet a compressed deadline.
• High End and custom finishes abound provided a unique feel for the finished project.
• Space was turned over on time for grand opening.

Long term relationships do not re-ignite without maintenance. This project is the third renovation and or expansion for the ALTRAN group in a four year period. Our ability to stay in touch, check in prior to our warranty period ending and keeping lines of communication open led to repeat business. We continue to services these folks with any further questions and technical advice as we maintain the relationship.

• Value engineered project to reduce budget by 15%
• High end flooring and lighting finishes
• Underground work required for sewage
• Coordinate work of overlapping live areas including restrooms, break rooms, and conference rooms

Expansion of lab and testing rooms from Boston remote site to Burlington corporate office mixed use site.

• Phased project with early delivery achieved
• New HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical Infrastructure throughout
• Gas, Air, Lab Waste, Eye Washes and anti- static features
• Surrounding areas were occupied- careful coordination for noise
• Enclosed space with new wall construction as dust mitigation to avoid added costs and time for temp walls
• Coordinate and install all owner related fixtures and equipment

Truly, a made in America story. The owner of Vecina Beauty Supply, one of New England’s largest distributors of salon and beauty equipment and supplies, started with a single location in Lawrence MA and grew into seven retail stores in a short period of time. BIC worked with the Owner to design and build his headquarters for corporate offices, training and show room spaces. Developing a healthy business to business relationship during the entire process with the intent to last for years.

• Corporate Offices, Training, and Conference for a large beauty product distributor
• Full preconstruction from cost analysis to CDs
• Open ceiling concept at Executive Offices and Sales Area
• Close communication with Owner to establish process flow and design

BIC was fortunate to be brought on board early on in the site selection process with PSI. We collectively examined a few sites and performed rough order of magnitude costing to help determine the best fit building. Throughout the project, we managed LL vs. Owner responsibilities.

• PreConstruction Services deployed for during site selections
• Buildout of Executive Offices and R&D Spaces
• Refresh of 25,000SF at offices areas
• Rework of HVAC to accommodate new through wall exhaust for hood systems
• Replaced all lighting fixtures with LED to receive utility co. rebate

This project required our team to maintain a high level of teamwork and collaboration. BIC worked in multiple spaces in tandem, while the 700+ staff building was fully occupied. The majority of the work occurred off hours. Careful consideration of employee workstations belongings as well ensuring adequate air circulation from the HVAC System was paramount in the process.

• All work completed during off hours and Weekends. Replacement of 30 RTUs on Weekends where we landed all 30 RTUs over one weekend.
• Difficult Access for RTU replacement requiring multiple Cranes for picking.
• Complete renovation of Break Rooms, Restrooms, Cafeteria, and Mailroom within fully occupied building during off hours.
• Careful consideration taken working in occupied building during off hours for maintaining organization and cleaning all affected areas before staff returns each morning.

Full Fitout of 21,000 SF within the confines of an occupied CLASS A building requires specific attention to all invasive requests. From coordination of loud and disruptive operations to modifications and testing of life safety systems that affect common spaces. Great lengths of coordination were displayed between Contractor and Owner.

• Worked closely with Owner’s A&E team to design build portions of MEP
• DIRTT wall systems utilized throughout executive office areas
• High end flooring, ceilings, ceiling and millwork package to compliment furniture
• Attention to safety throughout entire project for construction staff and tenants
• Space was turned over on time

The Build-It and JDL team have worked closely over a two year duration with CLASS Inc on multiple projects both inside and out. The most recent, was a new entry vestibule, reskin (EIFS) at the exterior, building out a new entry lobby and various interior refinishes.

• Structural re-support at parking garage columns and vestibule
• New Exterior vestibule and canopy structure
• Exterior Insulated Finish System applied to all parking garage walls
• Interior Renovation and ADA accommodations at Entry Lobby
• Open book work with goal of saving money and time while meeting all program needs

Understanding the end user’s goal and intent to operate the equipment is where a project must start. Layout, workflow and process is critical during design phase in order to produce a space that meets the needs of the users. Aligning the task specific equipment with proper MEPs and wrapping with high end finishes takes time and effort, this is what we do.

• Aggressive 2018 summer schedule, was also subject to delays from specific union strikes
• Extreme amount of coordination for many high end fixtures and finishes
• Custom millwork, custom HVAC design, custom concealed ceiling grid lighting
• Challenging existing conditions to route MEP infrastructure- much coordination after hours and within occupied spaces
