Challenges:
Leaking flat roofs damaged wood framing and structural hardware, causing structural failure in some areas. Repairs were executed while litigation was in progress, resulting in added scrutiny from disparate parties with opposing interests. Reconstruction around actively operating businesses—some of which were sensitive in nature such as medical facilities and a call center.
Solutions:
Nautilus was hired because we presented a competitive bid, and because of our successful history working on other projects with the owners and attorneys. They knew we were a trustworthy, knowledgeable partner who would objectively advise them on the repairs recommended by their forensic architectural consultant, and would propose alternative repair methodologies when appropriate. To ensure the businesses remained safely functioning during the reconstruction, we worked our schedules around their needs, often including weekends and late nights.
