Scope of Work

  • New VRF mechanical system — a variable-refrigerant-flow HVAC system with new grilles, registers and diffusers, plus refrigerant-piping insulation coordinated through the submittal set.
  • Roofing & rooftop work — roofing to support the new mechanical equipment and weatherproof the renovated office area.
  • Heritage-style partitions & drywall — new and heritage-matched partitions, walls and ceilings, reconfiguring the office layout to the architect's drawings.
  • Electrical & lighting upgrade — new power, lighting and low-voltage distribution to suit the reworked open-office and meeting layouts.
  • Glazing, film & corner protection — interior glazing, privacy and graphic window film, and corner guards for durable high-traffic finishes.
  • Millwork, doors & hardware — custom millwork and closet doors, with doors, frames and hardware installed throughout.
  • Flooring, paint & signage — new flooring, painting, and wayfinding and room signage.
  • Hazmat abatement — pre-construction hazardous-materials abatement before the renovation began.
