Heart Hospital of Austin – Operating Room #4

This project involved the full renovation and equipment upgrade of Operating Room #4 to support advanced surgical technology and improve functionality for clinical staff. The scope included the replacement of existing surgical equipment with a new Philips Azurion 7 C20 FlexArm system, providing state-of-the-art imaging capabilities. In addition, four new monitor and light booms supplied by Stryker were installed to enhance flexibility and workflow efficiency.

Above the ceiling, the existing Unistrut support system was removed and replaced to accommodate the new equipment and infrastructure. Interior improvements included installation of energy-efficient LED lighting, new perforated laminar diffusers to optimize airflow and maintain a sterile environment, as well as upgraded finishes, such as seamless linoleum sheet flooring, protective vinyl wall coverings and a fresh coat of paint to modernize the space and ensure durability in a high-use environment.

Ottine Mineral Springs

This phased design-build project transformed a collection of historic hospital buildings into a modern mineral springs resort. Phase one focused on rehabilitating and expanding the existing structures to introduce spa facilities, retail and dining spaces, office areas and a bar. The resort’s amenities feature natural hot mineral spring pools, cold splash pools, saunas, outdoor restrooms and private remote soaking areas. Infrastructure upgrades included new and improved utility systems, along with updated storm drainage. Future phases will expand the resort with additional spa facilities, a full-service restaurant and retail spaces, a chapel and lodging accommodations.

Urology Austin – 3rd Floor Lab & Pharmacy

The Urology Austin 3rd floor project was a 4,480 square foot space that took an existing office and meeting space back to bare bones. Demolishing all interior finishes, walls and ceilings, creating a blank slate and providing 2 separate areas: a lab and a pharmacy. The scope of work included creating a peel and stick air barrier around the lab portion married with an HVAC system to maintain negative air pressure. Our scope included electrical and plumbing to accommodate high voltage lab equipment, with a plethora of millwork, housing the pharmaceuticals. To meet the state laboratory requirements, we added the necessary eyewashes, safety shower and fire cabinets. Lastly, we mounted a pneumatic tube receiving station for the efficient transfer of samples from the clinic to lab. Updating the space gives the Urology Austin hub a streamlined product having the lab and pharmacy staff in the same building as clinical and imaging center.

Urology Austin – 2nd Floor Atrium

The Urology Austin 2nd floor project was an office space that we renovated into the medical hub for all Urology Austin providers. The renovated space includes 70 exam and procedure rooms, 22 added restrooms and offices to accommodate managerial staff. We overcame a variety of challenges, such as arranging plumbing rough with the occupied office spaces located below the suite, adding modern finishes, such as floor to ceiling glass for the check-in / check-out space and implementing a pneumatic tube to send samples to the onsite laboratory. The space allows providers to perform procedures while simultaneously providing day-to-day care for patients.

Sushi | Bar ATX

The project transformed a 3,134 square foot corner space at West 2nd and San Antonio Streets in downtown Austin into a vibrant, upscale restaurant. After carefully stripping out the existing interior, our team orchestrated a full tenant fit out—meticulously reconfiguring the main dining room, private dining salon, commercial kitchen and two intimate sushi rooms. We reengineered the entire mechanical system to seamlessly support the new layout and culinary requirements, ensuring optimal climate control, ventilation and energy efficiency throughout the space.
Every finish in this restaurant was selected and executed with both artistry and durability in mind. A dynamic interplay of tile patterns leads guests from one zone to the next, while handcrafted millwork defines the bar, booths and sushi counters with rich textures and refined details. Plush, custom stitched leather upholstery invites comfort and warmth and specialty paint treatments—ranging from subtle paint textures to deep matte accents—imbue each area with its own distinct character. The result is a cohesive, spirited environment that not only elevates the dining experience, but also stands as a showcase of precision craftsmanship and thoughtful design.

Communities in Schools – Central Texas

This ground-up project features a modern, two-story office building designed for both functionality and comfort. The layout includes private offices, conference rooms, restrooms, breakrooms and a welcoming reception area, all tailored to support a productive work environment.
The exterior complements the interior with a furnished patio complete with canopies, ample parking and a sustainable water filtration pond. The site was fully developed with new utilities connected to city distribution lines, ensuring long-term reliability.
Inside, the building is equipped with high-performance infrastructure, including modern electrical and plumbing systems, fire suppression, and a zoned HVAC system for efficient temperature control. High-speed internet is supported by multiple wireless access points, and a new elevator provides full accessibility.
Security was a top priority, with a comprehensive system featuring door access control, surveillance cameras and 24/7 monitoring. Custom millwork throughout the breakrooms, workrooms and distribution center adds a polished, professional finish.
Every aspect of the project was completed in full compliance with local jurisdictional code requirements, delivering a smart, secure and sophisticated commercial space.

Urology Austin – 1st Floor Imaging Center

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.
