The Urology Austin – first floor project, is a healthcare facility with a strong emphasis on imaging and patient care. We demolished an existing 1980’s, 13,000 square foot office space to allow for the installation of PET, CT, X-Ray and ultrasound machines to help detect and monitor the spread of prostate cancer for patients across Central Texas. Improving an office centered shell to a medical space presented obstacles that we needed to overcome, such as seamlessly routing chill water lines from the 1st floor to the roof to a mounted heat exchanger, as well as performing slab quality testing and remediation for the PET machine. The addition of lead lined gypsum board to 4 separate rooms ensured there is no radiation leaks. Lastly, we pulled a new disconnect to provide enough power to adequately handle the service of high amperage equipment. Along with the constraints of adding medical imaging equipment, the Urology Austin project also includes the addition of exam rooms, procedure rooms, a reception and waiting area, a breakroom and workrooms in order to provide day-to-day care for patients. Additionally, we demolished a 5,000 square foot space, divided it and white-box prepped the area for a future sublet tenant.

Treehouse Pediatrics Office Expansion
This was our 3rd project for the Treehouse Pediatrics clinic located in Round Rock. The scope included interior demolition of a space previously used for a lab and the build back of new walls, ceilings, millwork and flooring with upgrades made to the plumbing, electric and HVAC. This work created new exam rooms with new and reused materials. We built and installed new workstations, reused existing lighting, carpet flooring, millwork and ceiling tiles. Finally, we installed new millwork, the existing concrete floors were polished, fresh paint was added throughout, and different wallpaper was installed in each treatment room to make each room unique along with sinks and electrical outlets per plan.
Atwell / RVi Landscape
The Atwell / RVi Landscape project was an expansion of their existing space into an adjacent suite in Downtown Austin. The interior office expansion/remodel involved selective demo to existing walls, electrical, HVAC and plumbing. We upgraded the space with a painted exposed ceiling that consists of linear and round light fixtures and side wall supply air registers on exposed ducting in the open workspace area. We also added a kitchenette, storage room and upgraded the restroom with wall, ceiling and floor finishes, as well as expanding the existing RVi conference room per plan. Existing offices were equipped with new motion sensor light switches, new lay-in light fixtures into the gridded ceiling and sliding barn doors complete with fresh new carpet, as well as clearstory windows installed at each office demising wall. We created 3 new openings, connecting the new Atwell space to the existing RVi Landscape suite and provided a new display area right inside the front entrance.
Dell Seton Medical Center at the University of Texas – 5th Floor, West Wing
This project was the demolition of the existing sleep rooms, restrooms and offices in the existing West Wing of the 5th floor followed by the finish-out which added 15 Neurocritical ICU Patient
Rooms, new staff restrooms, clean rooms, soiled hold room, a med room and a bariatric room all designed to meet ADA requirements. It included Tarkett resilient flooring, Inpro wall protection,
crash rail finishes, updated med-gas connections, as well as Zero VOC paint throughout.
State-of-the-art technology was used in all aspects of construction. We used Starc Wall Systems to contain the construction site from exposing any dust and air particles into the air inside an active hospital. Infection control and prevention measures were paramount every day, we used air scrubbers and negative air machines to mitigate risk. With that, we installed insulated ducted returns in the entire wing. A pneumatic tube station was installed into the existing system, along with a humidifier and new RO system, IGBU’s were installed at HM window frames, sprinkler lines were relocated to accommodate the new layout, the fire alarm system was redesigned and all new devices installed, as well as field installed headwalls.
In each room, we installed state-of-the-art Baxter Hillrom Nurse Call Systems, new sheetrock ceilings to accompany new structural steel supports for medical lights and Human Care Patient Lifts. Dedicated exhaust and associated duct work for negative pressure patient rooms. Additionally, the wing received all new millwork and Swanstone solid surfaces. Nurses’ stations included, updated Swisslog system, new GE Healthcare Patient Monitoring Systems and new integral blind systems.
