Soft Demo Nearly Complete

The soft demolition is nearly completed. The size of the new space is really visible now and it is huge! They have a couple more days left to complete the work which will include the removal of the HVAC units on the roof. There is also a mock-up being built of a typical office which will be completed next week. Bids were due yesterday for the Steel, Roof Framing, Concrete, Fire Sprinklers and more Demo. Contracts will go out next week. Here are some of the latest shots.

Welcome to your future home, The Bernards Headquarters!

We have taken Ownership of the new building and started some exploritory demolition to verify the structural conditions. Additionally, we have removed the ceiling tiles to get a better look at the roof structure and utilities. These are some of the first photographs.
