The Project : GVA Advantis contracted again with Edgewater Construction to create a new office space for Resource One. Our work included building a kitchen area, two offices, a file room, a conference room, and storage room.
Edgewater installed glass panels to form a conference room; installed kitchen counters and overhead cabinets; created a pocket door and built a new full glass entry door at the main entrance. Other services included installing a phone board server backboard; removing and replacing ACT at the new demising wall; removing the existing flooring, new paint and installing new carpet and VCT throughout.
This project required Edgewater to replace all sprinkler heads; provide and install a new sink and hot water heater and isolation valve, as well as upgrade new electrical and communication devices and alterations to the existing HVAC system.
The Challenge : Provide specialty services to mount an antique stained glass window.
Added Value : Edgewater completed the entire scope, including the stained glass installation, well within our clients’ schedule and budget.
