Special
Projects

Remodels, refreshes, ADA upgrades and restoration — the work between maintenance and construction, without a GC’s overhead.

Special
Projects

Our Special Projects team handles the work that sits between routine maintenance and full construction — the remodels, upgrades and repairs that need real skill and speed, without the overhead of a general contractor.

Common area refreshes, restroom remodels, ADA upgrades, emergency repairs and restoration. We run each project from the first site walk to the final walk-through — a small, experienced crew that shows up, does the work well and stays out of your tenants’ way.

What we handle

Four project types, managed start to finish. Smaller repairs and day-to-day upkeep sit with Facility Solutions.

Interior Remodels

Reworking a space so it is ready for whoever uses it next, on a schedule you can hold someone to.

  • Interior remodels & reconfiguration
  • Wall, ceiling & partition work
  • Lighting & HVAC distribution
  • Flooring & finish packages
  • Door, frame & hardware
  • Make-ready & turnover work

Common Area & Refresh

The work that lifts an asset’s perceived value without a full repositioning.

  • Lobby & corridor refresh
  • Restroom remodels
  • Paint & wallcovering
  • Lighting retrofits
  • Signage & wayfinding
  • Exterior facade & entry work

Compliance & Upgrades

Scopes driven by a deadline or a citation rather than a wish list.

  • ADA path-of-travel upgrades
  • Restroom accessibility
  • Life-safety corrections
  • Title 24 lighting compliance
  • Door hardware & egress corrections
  • Handrail, ramp & striping upgrades

Restoration & Damage

When the scope arrives unannounced. Facility Solutions handles first response, then we take the rebuild.

  • Water & fire damage repair
  • Vandalism & break-in repair
  • Emergency stabilization
  • Demolition & debris removal
  • Insurance scope documentation
  • Phased occupied-building work
+ Much more

Floor replacements, signage installation, painting, plumbing repairs and the rest. If it is bigger than a work order and smaller than a ground-up build, it is ours.

How a project
runs

It starts with a walk. We scope on site rather than off a description, so the number you get reflects the building as it actually is — not as the drawings claim. You receive a written scope, a fixed price and a schedule before anything is committed.

Most of our work happens in occupied buildings, which is its own discipline. We phase around tenants, work nights and weekends where it matters, protect the paths people use, and keep the dust and noise where they belong.

We coordinate directly with property managers and third-party vendors to keep communication, scheduling and quality control tight — and you deal with one account manager from scope to sign-off.

How to engage us

Projects are scoped and quoted. Ongoing maintenance and emergency dispatch route through the other teams.

Questions we get

What types of special projects do you take on?
We handle a variety of facility upgrades, including lighting retrofits, painting, floor replacements, signage installation, plumbing repairs, and more.
How do you handle coordination with other vendors or contractors?
We collaborate with property managers and third-party vendors to streamline communication, scheduling, and quality assurance throughout the project.
How is this different from hiring a general contractor?
For work in this range, a GC adds a layer of management cost and a slower start. We self-perform the trades, carry our own license and insurance, and move faster on scopes that do not justify full GC overhead.
Can you work in an occupied building?
Yes, and most of our work is. We phase around tenants, work nights and weekends where it matters, and protect occupied paths of travel throughout.
How quickly can you start?
Faster than a GC. We scope on site, price it, and once you approve we get a crew moving — most projects start in days rather than weeks.
What happens if the scope changes mid-project?
Changes are priced and approved in writing before any work proceeds. Nothing lands on the invoice that you have not seen first.
