REPURPOSING SPACE

When we listen to our clients and contacts we hear that, everywhere, individuals and organizations are needing to do more with less.  Part of our company mission statement says that "We are in the business of making what you have, better."   If you are familiar with our work you know that we have built from the ground up - but did you also know that more than half our work is alteration of existing buildings?   

We recently completed a major no-addition reconfiguration to a residence in Clinton Township, designed changes to vastly improve the operations of a dance studio in Somerset County, and altered a kitchen (and did include a tiny 38 square foot addition...) in Fanwood, NJ.

Do you want to do more with less? What space can we help you make better?

CODE CHANGES UPDATE:  NJ adopted its altered version of the 2009 ICC Codes in early September - there are some significant changes included - and the 6-month grace period will end in March.  The Obama Administration also moved forward with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) changes that we reported on earlier this year.  If you have compliance questions, give a call.

THINK ON THIS...

"The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought and attended to my answer."
