Fish Bowl Be Gone: Window Film is Here

2 Replies

Are you tired of holding client meetings in a fish bowl? Do you like the concept of a glass-walled conference room, but feel that it lacks a sense of privacy?

Do you have a retail space with a storefront display that could benefit from the aesthetics of patterned, gradient window film?

We all want the benefits of natural light, yet we shudder to think of going back to using glass block reminiscent of Miami Vice episodes.

We may have a great solution that will satisfy your desire for natural light in your workspace while adding a great aesthetic.

1 Peters Canyon - Net-Systems, Inc.Riggins Construction & Management, Inc. is proud to announce the completion of the design-build, interior tenant improvements for NET-Systems, Inc.

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 →

Seismic Retrofitting

San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge - October 17, 1989

San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge – October 17, 1989

Growing up in Central California, I have experienced my fair share of earthquakes, but from a distance.  Forever etched in my memory is the 6.9 Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989. Most of you down here in Southern California probably remember it most by the images of the Bay Bridge collapsing on itself.

Here in Southern California I hear of the Whittier quake in the ’80s and the Northridge quake in the ’90s.  On Easter of this year, I got a wake up call of the 7.2-magnitude type.  Granted, I was okay, but it brought back memories of 1989.  On June 14 we got another reminder:  5.7.  I thought to myself, am I prepared? The answer is no.

Not in the form of fear-mongering, but as a reminder, I thought I should take this opportunity to mention that among our variety of project types, Riggins Construction & Management also performs seismic retrofitting for your building. Continue reading →

Fitch Warehouse for Landco, LLC

Fitch Warehouse - Before and After

Riggins Construction & Management, Inc. was contracted by Landco, LLC to restore these warehouse facilities after a long-term tenant’s lease expired.

A set of warehouse restrooms, including two showers, and a janitor’s slop sink served the industrial tenant for well over a decade, but needed restoration.

A new janitor’s sink and fiberglass reinforced paneling was installed in the janitor’s closet including code-required earthquake strapping on the water heater.

Tiles were replaced to match existing in the shower and sink areas. Sinks received new chrome faucets and drain strainer covers as did the showers.   We also relocated and installed new shower mixing valves to meet current ADA code in the two showers.

Repainted walls and a recoated epoxy floor finish made these areas shine.

We are always pleased to not only meet the client’s budget and time schedule, but to provide a finished product ready for a new tenant.
