This project included the new construction of a two story, 26,000 square foot ambulatory surgery center and medical office space for Balcones Pain Consultants. The facility includes fourteen exam rooms, a flouroscopy suite, a laboratory, and pharmacy. Within the surgery center, three operating rooms comprise the rear of the suite, with four pre-op beds and five PACU beds in the center of the space. A spacious waiting room and radius stairway make up the entrance and reception area.
The site, exterior and core of the building were designed by Euwer & Associates, while the interiors were designed by Polkinghorn Group Architects. The success of the project was in large part determined by everyone’s ability to communicate and work with each other to make sure that there were no gaps or overlaps in scope.
This tenant finish out split over two floors in the new Colorado Tower in downtown Austin was completed within a tight construction schedule. The open concept space includes two large break rooms, a hospitality bar that serves as Atlassian’s upscale coffee house serving beer and coffee, a game room, numerous open lounge areas, bicycle storage, showers, quiet zones, and two outdoor terraces. To allow the employees to remain flexible and mobile, power/data is distributed throughout the workspace every seven feet from ceiling-mounted power sources.
The staircase, a true focal point of the office, required extensive collaboration between the steel workers and the woodworkers. Due to the extreme size of the steel stringers, the Sabre team coordinated their crane entry through a removed glass panel.
Featured in Refinery29’s “Best Offices in the United States” article, January 2016, we can’t help but agree.
The renovation of CT Suite within the active Dell Children’s Medical Center took place in the summer of 2015.
This project included the replacement of the existing Siemens CT Scan equipment with a new GE Revolution CT X-Ray Scanner and associated equipment within the active Dell Children’s Medical Center. Along with the coordination of the medical equipment installation, new HVAC and electrical service was provided along with updated finishes and the replacement of millwork in the room.
To give the room a more welcoming and relaxing feel to the young patients, colorful themed artwork was applient to the entire room.
ArthroCare is a repeat client whom we have worked for in many previous projects including their corporate offices, manufacturing plant, and multiple laboratories. The scope for this particular project included the construction of ArthroCare’s new 21,050 square foot CMC (carboxymethylcellulose) production facility in South Austin. The finished space included office area, a break room, restrooms, clean rooms, packaging, warehouse and new process lab to manufacture the CMC.
Construction was completed in a tight schedule of only four and a half months. ArthroCare already had orders for the material they were going to be producing at the facility which made meeting the schedule a must. The project team was able to make that happen. Sabre not only completed this project within the schedule, but under budget.
The 54,450 square foot, single story facility constructed in San Marcos, Texas was built as a distribution and storage warehouse for PODS containers. The Design-Build project was built with concrete tilt wall construction with light weight open web steel joists supporting an insulated single ply roof. The flooring was built to withstand the 30 ton rated forklift used to move the storage containers around within the building during operation.
In addition to the warehouse, the City of San Marcos required the owner to double the width of Leah Avenue from Clovis Barker Road to the driveway entrance, approximately one quarter mile. This widening included all new storm drain inlets to match those on the other side along with sidewalk and signage. This work was rolled into Sabre’s construction contract.

This 15 week project was commissioned as a way to update a very outdated student events center. The majority of the building remained occupied during construction and Sabre worked in close communication with the current tenants and the university. As we were working in an occupied space with student groups and event teams, our team worked around quiet times, and coordinated with the owner contracted furniture vendor for glass wall installation. Sabre relied on our existing key relationships with building management and occupants to ensure minimal disruption.
Both the original project schedule and budget were met. Some of the more unique items on this project included an ornamental “deer horn” glass chandelier which is one of the centerpieces of the space. Since this project completed we have been awarded many more projects with The University of Texas at Austin, proving that we leave behind very satisfied clients.

This renovation within the fully operational Seton Medical Center Austin included a 4,700 square foot renovation within the old café and atrium, a new shell space on the second level where there used to be open air, and a new mechanical penthouse on the roof above that to house a new air handler for the project. The area of the hospital that was remodeled included an open air atrium that was in-filled with structural steel framing and concrete slabs. Extensive interior demolition, crawlspace MEP rough-in, and shoring were required during the build-out.
Two new Siemens MRI machines were installed by rigging approximately 270 feet from the south entrance of hospital, with site coordination paramount to staff and visitor safety. The specialized nature of the MRI rooms required unique coordination between trades. We had to not only build the rooms within the greater space to meet standard MRI requirements, but we also had to leave out specific walls within our area to allow the magnets to make their path of travel from outside to the isolation rooms. As with typical MRI build-outs, walls and doors are typically left out to allow for this install, but we had the greater obstacle of making our way from the south lobby, down a long corridor, past a left turn and then a right turn into the suite. The entire length of travel was 270 feet, over a structural slab that had shoring placed along the entire path in the crawl space.
At the end of the day, the ultimate goal was not just to provide SMCA with a new suite to operate in, but the ability to better offer world-class healthcare to the community and beyond through the research that will take place there. Sabre was extremely proud to be part of such a dedicated and professional team that worked tirelessly through many coordination efforts to bring this design to life.

This new two story medical office building included the finish out of the first and second floor lobbies. A mix of steel and wood construction, the first floor was composed of all steel and concrete and contained a wooden roof structure. The project included the installation of a 15,000 gallon rainwater collection cistern on an elevated platform in the detention pond.
We completed the Central Texas Medical Center build-out within concurrent with the shell build-out.
1,250 SF remodel to create a new Hybrid Operating Room in the St. David’s South Austin Medical Center. The project included extensive coordination between the Sabre project team and medical equipment supplier to accommodate the high tech medical equipment installation. As all work was completed within the occupied and operational St. David’s South Austin Medical Center, coordination between Sabre and the Medical team was required to work within allowable times. The end result was an appealing and functioning Hybrid OR theater with the most advanced technology available within the tight timeline. The overall project was completed with no safety incidents or delays to the owner expectations.
