Past Projects
VBG renovated a 40 year old bank building to make it suitable for a retail use. By adding a a new hip roof element we drew out front elevation. Maintaining the brick exterior on the first floor allowed us to update and modernize the design while keeping the original charm. Modernizations incl ude updated energy efficient electrical and mechanical systems, elevator, aluminum storefronts, metal roofing, and site work. We were able to add square footage by filling in the second floor mezzanine with lightweight concrete over metal decking. Remodeling an existing building presented more challenging aspects such as asbestos and lead paint remediation, concrete vault demolition, and shoring of new openings and second floor. VBG was able to deliver the project under budget by self performing multiple trades.
VBG performed the core and shell construction of a 9,700 sqft two story retail and office building. We worked on this project from the beginning, we coordinated closely with the architect on the design and gained all approvals and entitlements from the city. Elements include the corner tower and dormers providing abundant natural light to the second story office space. Multiple retail storefronts add to the pedestrian oriented design. Phase two of the project included tenant improvements in the office and retail spaces.
The build-out involved construction of traditional executive offices, streamlined support spaces, computer/server room, exterior metal paneling, and site work. We implemented a design-build approach allowing us to complete the project in less than 6 months and create an efficient and effective work environment. The collaborative relationship between VBG and the client enabled us to streamline the schedule, avoid costly delays, and deliver a facility that exceeded the client’s expectations.
