PROJECT UPDATE
(8.27.2015):
In
the last 5 weeks, INTERIOR DEMOLITION has been completed. SAW-CUTTING of the
existing concrete floor and SANDBLASTING of the interior masonry and steel
surfaces to remain was also completed. CONCRETE work followed with the
removal of slabs for the new recessed unit exterior entries. MASONRY
demolition/preparation work was done concurrently since the space was large
enough to accommodate multiple trades. We chose to use a SHORING contractor
to work in tandem with the MASONRY contractor to expedite the demolition of
the shored brick wall. STEEL beams and columns will replace the shoring once
the new CONCRETE footings/piers are poured. Underground PLUMBING has also
started.
*MATT”S
organizational skills keep all this running efficiently and cost effective.
NEXT…underground
PLUMBING continues, STEEL beams/columns are erected, CONCRETE and MASONRY
work continue followed by the CARPENTERS framing interior partitions.
