This project involved converting an older apartment complex consisting of five, 3-story buildings into a contemporary condominium community.
All aspects of the original buildings required re-working, from extensive structural repairs and modifications to finishes.
CSI performed the concrete structural changes, starting from the building foundations and continuing up to the roof level, where steel beams were also incorporated to support modifications to the roof and building lines.
Relocation of window and door openings, while changing the look of the units, required strengthening of the masonry openings via new or supplemental columns and headers to maintain the code requirements for hurricane impact applications.
Working as a team with two lead engineers for the project, and the Owners' ultimate desires in mind, CSI confronted and resolved unknown obstacles throughout the project with quick, on-site decisions that enabled production continuity and successful, on-schedule completion of the project.
