Rycon provided preconstruction and construction management for a 200,000 sf fit-out across seven floors of a 26-story tower still under construction by another contractor. Despite base building delays, including incomplete curtainwall, mechanical systems, and roofing, Rycon maintained schedule and quality by developing recovery plans and implementing an extensive overtime program.
The LEED Gold Certified fit-out included high-end finishes such as marble, eucalyptus veneer, lacquer panels, back-painted glass, and precision alignment of joints and grout lines, all guided by early-established control lines during preconstruction. Two roof terraces on the 12th and 13th floors were built with over 700 plants, limestone accents, and integrated lighting. With no hoist access, Rycon used a crane-and-bucket operation to lift 300 cubic yards of soil while maintaining public safety in a tight urban site. Strict climate control was required for sensitive finish materials. Temporary heaters and humidifiers were brought in and monitored closely to meet installation conditions before the permanent systems were operational. Rycon also delivered shared savings through effective budget management.
