About the Project

Gilbank Construction was asked to quote an 11,589 SF addition for the new grand entryway of the facility. With a brief fall and early start to winter, the schedule was pushed to accommodate (2) critical concrete pours. In the atrium of the facility was a concrete accent wall that needed to be poured ahead of closing in the building. The concrete crew poured the wall in tough weather conditions with a 5000 PSI mix. The wall was finished within American Concrete Institute 117 tolerances of a ¼” deviation or less. The next major hurdle, in a literal sense, was construction with the precast tilt up panels in place to create the saw tooth feature. Fine grading, in floor plumbing and in floor electrical rough in needed to be completed around the precast bracing that would be in place until the steel structure was erected. Once the building was dried in, it was time to lean heavily into the schedule with the office layout and employee training center. Gilbank Construction was able to complete the project and gain final occupancy on June 14th 2024, two weeks ahead of schedule. Also, total change orders were held to within 2% of the project budget.
