Advanced Building Conceptsdeveloped
and built a retail/office building as well
as an office/warehouse complex for a specialty
food company and mechanical contractor.
Many permits & approvals
were required before construction could
begin. DEM approval was required due to
adjacent wetlands; Water Department approval
was also required because the property is
located in a watershed area. Water runoff
& detention pond calculations were also
required. Due to soil conditions, exceptionally
deep spread footings were required at building
foundations. All utilities were separated,
thus allowing the possibility to divide
into condominiums in the future. The roof
was framed to conceal rooftop equipment
& penetrations. Environmental systems
are a combination of gas heating/electric
cooling in the office and retail spaces;
warehouse areas have in-floor hydronic radiant
heating.
The complex was built utilizing
the Design/Build approach with Advanced
Building Concepts coordinating all variances,
permits and contracts with the architect
and engineers.
