Project description
This project involves the alteration and restoration of an existing multi-story residential building located in Washington, DC. The scope primarily focuses on masonry upgrades, including brick infill, façade restoration, and structural modifications required due to architectural and mechanical changes. Special attention has been given to maintaining the building’s original character through the use of salvaged brick and matching materials.
The estimation process covered a wide range of masonry-related activities including CMU infill walls, repair of damaged brickwork, restoration of brick sills, and replacement or repair of cast stone elements. The project also includes detailed scope for re-grouting and repointing works to enhance structural stability and improve weather resistance of the building envelope.
Additionally, the project incorporates temporary structural support systems such as shoring at openings to ensure safety during construction. The estimate reflects a comprehensive approach covering both material and labor requirements while considering wastage, sequencing, and site constraints typical of renovation projects.
