KS Bank Face Lift Continues

The complete face lift of the existing KS Bank building in Selma, NC continues. This regional bank is updating its appearance after many years, and Gontram Architecture and Ten Penny Construction are teaming up once again to deliver it under the Architect-led Design-Build process.

Phase 1 (of 3) of the interior work is complete. Phase 2 is well underway and should be complete in a couple of weeks.

The exterior work continues, and would make better progress if it were not for all of the recent rain. Nevertheless, the roof trusses have been completed, the fire-retardant roof sheathing and ice-and-water shield has been installed.

This project is scheduled to be complete in September, 2020.

NCRMA Renovation Now Underway!

The North Carolina Retail Merchants Association has occupied the building located at 209 Fayetteville Street in a prominent part of downtown Raleigh since 2012. Many years before that, previous owners renovated the building and installed a cultured marble facade that has leaked like a sieve. The current owner’s have asked Gontram Architecture and Ten Penny Construction to remedy that situation, and return a more traditional curb presence to the building. That project, several years in the making, is now underway.

First on the chopping block is the subgrade exterior garden area that was never realized to its full potential. 1 story below street level, the garden area was a good attempt at bringing some exterior experience to the offices on the basement level. But a constant source of maintenance, and an attractive nuisance from nightly revelers, the garden area was a liability and lost square footage. This project will enclose that area for an interesting multi-purpose meeting space, viewable from street level, but inaccessible to the public.

Work is scheduled to be complete in September 2020.

Wake Spine – Week 4

Future Nurse Station at Treatment Rooms
Sheetrock installed
Future Main Nurses Station

Week 4 at the Wake Spine project has seen another week of furious activity.  A complex project with a tight schedule, over an occupied tenant space (with near 24/7 business hours) has proven challenging, but we were up to the task.

Metal stud framing, electrical and plumbing rough-ins are complete and inspected.  Sheetrock hanging has begun in this suite.

The future 4,500-square feet tenant space will soon be home to the Wake Spine Clinic.

The project is being delivered through the Architect-led Design-Build process with Gontram Architecture

AECOM/URS/NC Turnpike Authority – Week 2

Construction entered the 2nd week of the expansion of the AECOM/URS call center space in Morrisville, NC.  AECOM/URS is a subcontractor for the NC Turnpike Authority and manages toll collection for the agency.

Demolition is now complete, and wall framing has begun.  Electrical rough-in, concrete removal and plumbing rough-in are all on the schedule for next week.

The expanded office space will add much needed seats in the company’s call center space as more toll roads come online in North Carolina.

The project is being delivered via the Architect-led Design-Build process with Gontram Architecture.

Construction is scheduled to be complete in early 2018.

Wake Spine – 02 – Framing in progress

Resilient Channel for acoustical benefits between exam rooms
Wall framing underway

In the 2nd week of construction on Wake Spine’s latest location, metal stud framing was well underway.  20-gauge metal studs line the halls and divide exam rooms.  Electrical boxes are roughed-in and plumbing work is underway.

Resilient channel is run horizontally from stud to stud to help reduce sound transmission between exam rooms.

The new Raleigh, NC location is expected to be open for patients in January 2018.

NC School Boards Association Assembly Hall gets facelift

The North Carolina School Boards Association building in Raleigh is home to numerous office tenants along with the Association that represents public school personnel.  On the ground floor of the building is a large Assembly Hall that is used for group meetings and conferences.

Assembly Hall

Assembly Hall – Before

The room was in desperate need of an upgrade, and Ten Penny Construction came equipped to propose material options, discuss pricing alternatives, and perform the work in less than 2 weeks time.

The project involved various sheetrock repairs, new carpet tiles, new wallcovering, new ceiling tiles, new LED lighting with a lighting control system, new ceramic tile, new paint, and re-installation of their photo display millwork.

The entire room and two common corridors were upgraded as part of this project.
