Project Overview
The Blue River Group was hired as General Contractor to renovate four occupied floors being downsized from seven floors for the southeastern headquarters of a national telecommunications company in Atlanta, Georgia. This project was particularly challenging because they were condensing various groups into new areas and combining them into new groups. Consequently, the sequencing and coordination with the various client contacts proved to be an ambitious task. Coordinated weekly owner, architect, and contractor meetings involving up to fifty participants as well as the handling of separate work words including telephone, data, security, and furniture relocations from multiple client contractors were required in addition to employee moves on an almost room by room basis.
Unforeseen Circumstances yet still delivered on time
The client requested Blue River to clean up any prior unforeseen, undesirable above ceiling conditions encountered during construction. It was determined that the bottom floor of the renovation in what was the original parking deck level would need to have 10,000 square feet of the cementitious floor slab topping removed. The condition was unknown during Blue River Group’s initial planning process and could be detrimental to the original schedule. The Blue River Group worked with the client and trade contractor partners to fix and mitigate the issue so that the completion date of the project would remain intact.
