DC Public Defender’s Office – Chesapeake Mission Critical

Through our client, Chesapeake Mission Critical, we assisted in managing a small data center and office buildout for the DC Public Defender System.

Located at 633 3rd St NW, in Washington DC, we provided management expertise and a full-time, onsite superintendent to ensure the smooth progression of the project. One of the challenges of this buildout was juggling the coordination of our sub-contractors with the building GC’s other subcontractors, while still ensuring the project progressed smoothly.

Even a small datacenter buildout includes scheduling complexities that need to be managed efficiently. For example, consider the importance of effectively allocating the installation of UPS systems (Uninterruptible Power Supply), specialized raised flooring, data center cabling, specialized cooling pipes, other technical equipment, fire suppression and alarm systems, and other technical data center equipment. All of these details must be timed appropriately in order to keep the project running smoothly and on schedule.

One of the benefits of having an experienced General Contractor, such as Area Construction Group, handling your project is that they have the expertise to handle unexpected challenges that arise during the project. The size of the datacenter and the layout constraints created a unique issue in Meeting ADA requirements at first; However, thanks to effective coordination between us, the architect, our specialized datacenter flooring contractor, we were able to figure out an equally unique solution and complete the job accordingly.

International Registries, Reston VA – Office Modifications

In August of 2023, we performed a simple office modification at International Registries headquarters in Reston VA.

This project serves as a good example that a simply redesigned layout can provide big benefits. Through reworking a few walls and entrances, the spatial efficiency and workflow was enhanced. Even a relatively small project is worth shedding light on, as the impact upon completion was apparent.

George Mason University – Center for Community Mental Health, Fairfax VA

The importance of mental health cannot be overstated, and that’s why Area Construction Group was proud to be awarded the buildout for George Mason University’s Center for Community Health. Located on the 4th floor of 9900 Main St in the Fairfax Square Professional Center, CCMH provides evidence-based, accessible, affordable and culturally sensitive therapy and testing services to our Northern Virginia community.

This was a large scale buildout for us, as suite 400 spans the entire 4th floor of the 9900 Main St building. We were committed to working diligently with all parties involved, from the building ownership Van Metre Investments, Interplan Inc. the architects, and the client George Mason University.

Relying on our adept project management, we maintained adherence to the strict timelines of the project during the Summer of 2023, while simultaneously prioritizing safety and quality craftsmanship in all trades involved. As the buildout progressed, it was crucially important to facilitate clear communication channels and proactive problem solving between our technicians and subcontractors.

Through our construction management expertise we were able to address all the complexities and unexpected challenges that arose during this project. Thanks to this, the CCMH emerged as a beacon of support and healing, providing a nurturing environment for individuals seeking mental health services within the surrounding area.
