Mid-Term Makeover
Taking Over the Remodeling of an Accounting Firm's Office Mid-project Proved One of Many Challenges
“For the engineering of it, we had to work with the city. To stop traffic would have been a nightmare, so we worked with the department of transportation to avoid doing that. Also, we were able to cut off a sidewalk but still accommodate pedestrian traffic,” he says.
Lessons Learned
Assiff and his team learned plenty of patience and tolerance on this more than yearlong job, which is not usual at H.A.S. Construction. “It’s rare that I’m somewhere for more than six months. But this project helped me in all aspects of my job. And the bottom line is everyone, including the accounting firm and its tenants in the building, is happy with the result,” Assiff says. “In fact, the other tenants hired us to work on their spaces, too, because they were so pleased with our work with the accounting firm.”
