The Ernst & Young Raleigh Headquarters project was a complete build-out of new office construction. The space started as shell space in an occupied building. The design called for a modern office style with several collaboration rooms and administrative spaces on the interior, with an open footprint for a variety of “benching” style systems furniture on the perimeter. The interior consisted of high-end finishes with construction integrated with technology—furniture, IT, digital signage, security, and audio-visual components.

The multi-phased project consisted of demolition of four floors back to shell condition and reconstructed to meet USDA/APHIS/GSA requirements. The work consisted of new walls, glass storefront, doors and hardware, security hardware, operable partitions, new and reworked MEP, Fire Alarm, and Fire Protection. Each floor was 28,000 SF and was constructed in three phases. 

Renovation of existing office space for new Raleigh office. Work included minor demolition, new wall installation, ceiling rework, and upgraded finishes. The project was completed on the eleventh floor of an occupied multi-story building with shared loading dock access. Means and methods for coordination with other tenant deliveries and landlord requirements were key factors in the successful completion of this project. 

This tenant upfit in a new office building included multiple glass RACO offices, break room, glass garage door installations in the conference room, a warm and inviting fireplace art installation, and custom light fixtures. 

Interior demolition to the second floor of a 4–story office building. The scope was for new tenant occupancy. Demolition included the removal of partitions, finishes, millwork, ceilings, and equipment. Modification to the HVAC system, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection system to support the new interior layout. 45,000 SF office upfit to follow included open area workspace for calls, closed offices, lounge, conference rooms, large dining room, and reception area. In an effort to expedite the schedule on this project, the Preconstruction activities coincided with demolition and permitting. This overlap created efficiency and early procurement activities.

This class A office upfit on the 6th floor of the newly completed, One Glenwood building in Downtown, Raleigh includes open office space, reception area, break room, and conference rooms. The space was designed to be engaging and inviting to users. Glass curtain walls were used throughout the space to allow for abundant natural light and great views of Raleigh. Other office features include a coffee bar, private phone booths, and team collaboration spaces. The project was completed on a tight schedule. Coordination with the shell contractor was key in the beginning stages to achieve this goal.
