Our Role
Preconstruction Management & Owner Representation
Executive Summary
A 1920s Druid Hills residence transformed for modern living — with investigative preconstruction that mapped every concealed condition before demolition began.
The Challenge
Historic renovation budgets fail on concealed conditions. We directed selective demolition and structural probing across the entire envelope during preconstruction, uncovering undersized framing and unrecorded 1960s alterations while the design could still absorb the findings.
The Outcome
The construction budget carried a documented contingency informed by real conditions — and finished three percent under the aligned number.
