The Project : Marriott Hotels required upgrades to its in-house restaurant and hired Edgewater Construction to complete the renovations.
Edgewater demolished and replaced carpet, wood flooring, ceramic tile, doors and frames, drywall, columns, and trim work. Edgewater built two new service stations, relocating an existing sink and new buffet lines with granite tops. The renovation also included installing bead board system and trim, door and frame, new shutter doors, wall sconces and chandeliers.
The Challenge : Because, the dining room is a value-added amenity and down-time affects revenue the extensive renovation required completion in 60 days.
Value Added : Edgewater dedicated their efforts to meet the 60 day deadline by fast tracking the project.
Client : The Procaccianti Group
Location : Norfolk, VA
