Project Profile: Avatar Machine

Avatar Machine TIRiggins Construction & Management, Inc. is proud to announce the completion of a second design-build, interior tenant improvement project for Condor Associates, Ltd.

ADA compliance is not only a Federal requirement but a key improvement to the building. During this project we focused on the outside path-of travel including an alteration of the existing parking lot. This included preparing a van-accessible, two-percent-or-less sloped parking stall. Removal of existing landscaping and shrubbery was necessary to create the thirty-five linear foot, five-foot wide concrete accessible path-of-travel to the existing entry landing.

On the interior, we built three offices in the southeast side of the building, installed 1,300 square feet of VCT throughout the hall, lobby, and offices, and replaced the overhead truck doors.

Since this building was intended for a single tenant, replacing the wooden storefront with two entrance doors was top priority. To give the building a modern, updated look, we installed a clear, aluminum storefront with a centered, single pair of entry doors, in full compliance with Title 24 energy regulations, of course.

We are proud of another design-build partnership that allowed us to assist the client’s leasing needs in a timely fashion.

Need to downsize? Project Profile: Ferrado Newport LLC

Ferrado Newport TIRiggins Construction & Management, Inc. is proud to announce the completion of the design-build, interior tenant improvements for Ferrado Newport LLC.

For a tenant, downsizing your space is always a great option when reducing your overhead costs, especially in the “new normal.” For the building owner, losing leasable space isn’t such a great option. We teamed up with their leasing agent, our architect, and the building owner, Ferrado Newport LLC, to design-build a leasable spec-suite in their six-story office building located near John Wayne Airport.

Often construction during business hours is considered an inconvenience; however, aside from the demolition and painting, we were able to complete our scope of work during normal business hours while interfacing with the facilities manager, building owner, and tenant’s employees. The tenant’s employees took it all in stride, even drawing landscapes and cartoons on their side of the ZipWall plastic dust barrier while we constructed a new, fire-rated demise wall. Their suite also received a new breakroom with upper and lower cabinetry, a 15” deep microwave shelf, room for a refrigerator, and we also installed their 42” flat screen TV.  We even painted their accent walls in corporate colors.

The newly created Suite 210 also received a new breakroom with upper and lower cabinetry, room for a refrigerator, and a 15” deep microwave shelf. A copyroom was added to this suite and new broadloom patterned carpeting gives this ready-to-lease suite the turnkey touch.

Through the design-build process we were able to meet the client’s leasing needs while adhering to the client’s timetable.

Before these improvements were conceived, we performed a building survey for our client as a recommendation from his real estate broker during purchase negotiations. As a result, many of the tenant-responsibility items noted in the survey were corrected during the course of the improvements.

For example, since the building had been constructed, some of the HC/ADA accessibility codes had been updated and we brought those items into compliance with the new codes. Continue reading
