Marlborough, MA – Dowling Houy LLC (DH) of Boston, acting as the building owner’s project manager, announced the recent completion of a 100,000sf office renovation for Acosta in Marlborough.
DH was responsible for overall project management, including working closely with the architect and GC, and preparing and maintaining all budgetary documents from project conception to final TI reimbursement.
DH worked with the contractor to conduct carpet replacement by “lifting” existing furniture in place, rather than dismantling and moving it to other parts of the building, a significant cost savings. Acosta’s budget was further stretched through refurbishing furniture (versus buying new) and incorporating floor coring into the GC’s scope, enabling Acosta to eliminate wires and cables across open floor areas.
All floors of the building were involved in the renovation and consolidation from 100,000 to 88,000sf. The floors were renovated one-half floor at a time, allowing the entire Acosta team
to remain productive during the four month period of active demo and construction work
