Structural Upgrades Continue

Work is still progressing with the Shell & Core work. Structural work is being put up almost as fast as the concrete panels are being torn down to create the new openings.

Continuing Shell & Core

Work continues on the Shell & Core structural work. Archibald Timber Structures has been installing a large amount of framing hardware in the roof to make the building much safer to work in. This has not gone without a hitch though, as we have discovered quite a few discrepancies between the original roof design and what was actually installed by the original builder. This has required quite a bit of modifications to our structural design to make everything fit properly. In addition, much of the footing work has been progressing.

Beginning of Shell and Core Work

Another quick update on what's going on at the new Bernards Headquarters. Contracts went out to the Shell and Core Subcontractors which will be KAR Construction for Concrete and two Subs who are new to Bernards. Archibald Timber Structures will handle the panelized roofing and Richwell Steel will have the structural/misc. steel. We continue the demolition removing the upper mezzanine storefront, some site structures and trees and some additional interior elements. The office mock-up is complete and Archibald has begun work on the seismic roof upgrades.
