To update an older suite by freshening up the carpet and paint in order to easier lease the space.
Challenge
Fitting the carpet and paint refresh within specific budget parameters, while completing on a tight deadline.
The construction management team had to ensure the contractors were performing at a high level.
Strategy
In order to fit the ‘make-ready’ into the budget constraints, the construction management team negotiated with several flooring material vendors directly and was able to negotiate locked-in pricing for the calendar year.
Separately, the construction management team negotiated and vetted several flooring and paint contractors in order to achieve competitive pricing at a high level of quality.
Finally, ECR’s Project Management Team developed a contract process that helped streamline the preconstruction timeline in order to achieve the client’s goals.
Results
The construction management team was able to update the existing suite with new carpet, base, and paint while fitting within strict budget constraints of $10 per SF, and tight deadlines between three and four weeks.
The updated ‘make-ready’ suite is more visually appealing and will result in quicker leases.
