This project consisted of the alteration of the original historic courthouse building to include structural modifications to the existing foundations, removal, and replacement of interior finishes to accommodate modifications to the existing structural framing. Additional work includes the modification of the interior spaces affected by the foundation replacement and new offices constructed to accommodate existing staff to remain in place during construction operations.
This project consisted of an addition, approximately 1,300 SF, to replace the existing porch with a new enclosed archives room used to store family papers from the Billings and Rockefeller families. It received the 2016 Preservation Award.
This project involved the interior renovation of 133 State Street, a 100,000 SF building that is on the State Register of Historic Places and is adjacent to the Vermont State House.
Renovations included new mechanical and electrical systems and the restoration of historic spaces, which included a two-story state meeting room, auditorium and public lobbies and corridors, bathroom renovations, finishes, doors and hardware, restoration of decorative plaster work, marble and woodwork, replacement of the building’s elevators, work necessary to bring the building into conformance with ADA and building codes, installation of automatic sprinkler, data, fire alarm, phone and CATV systems, replacement of the building’s MEP systems, extensive interior renovations to accommodate office, meeting and function space for multiple state departments.
This project was phased over several years to allow partial owner occupancy throughout construction.

Renovations to an occupied facility, including 34 units, and a community area for seniors or people living with disabilities. Renovations included an overhaul of the elevator, replacement of the heating and ventilation systems, electrical upgrades, elimination of an underground oil storage tank, numerous energy upgrades, new windows, kitchen cabinets, appliances, water saving plumbing fixtures and new flooring and paint. Solar panels were added to the roof to provide the hot water for the building. Work at the lower level community space preserved some of the original building’s historic details. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Olivia Beleau of AHEAD said of the project:
“Attention to detail and not disturbing the historic fabric of the properties was critical. You all did a great job on that!”
Renovations to an occupied facility, including 19 units and community area. The historic Lisbon Inn needed a major facelift. The needs were numerous, including the replacement of a 30-year old underground storage tank, erosion in the parking area, deteriorated porches, paint failure and aging windows and doors. The thermal envelope was improved by adding insulation and reducing the amount of air infiltration. The major building systems (elevator mechanism, HVAC, electrical system, lighting, sprinkler and fire alarms) were all replaced, and all apartments received new kitchens and baths and a variety of cosmetic improvements. The Lisbon Inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The construction of the Forest Center allowed for the owner to arrange for the dimensional and finish material lumber to be cut and rough sawn on-site. The lumber was sent out to be kiln-dried and then milled on-site. We also installed solar panels and biomass boilers to make the building more energy-efficient.
As a result of our hard work, the project received a LEED Platinum certification. The Forest Center was awarded Honorable Mention (second place, national competition) by the Forest Stewardship Council US, Minneapolis, MN. It also won an Efficiency Vermont Better Buildings by Design Merit Award (New Construction).
“I just wanted to say how pleased the national park is with the results of the recent work in the Forest Center. Thank you for your patient, focus and steadfast commitment to the success of this project and the beautifully built building we are so proud of.”
