Framing
Our forces have the ability to self-perform work including concrete, metal stud framing and drywall, rough and finish carpentry, architectural finishes, specialty installations, and casework. We understand how a project is built and can immediately solve issues that arise during design and in the field.
A new 3-story 60,000sf development located adjacent to the Skagit Hospital Campus. The scope included a ground floor surgery center with four ORs, 24 pre/post bays, and three endo rooms with GI, ENT and ortho exam rooms on the second and third floors. It also involved the demolition of existing buildings, site preparation, shell/core construction, interior tenant improvements, right of way improvements, and adjacent lot development for surface parking.
This architectural treasure is ground-up life science campus in Torrey Pines. Construction included two new type II-B three-story scientific research buildings and demo of two existing buildings. The building site included complex grading, requiring multiple retaining walls and shoring. Both new concrete structures share a subterranean parking garage.
Ground-up construction of the shell and core structure for future Class A lab and office space. The building, located in Seattle’s active Eastlake neighborhood, consists of four above-ground levels and two levels of underground parking. The project was initially designed as a single-tenant office space but shifted to a multi-tenant laboratory design after construction began. BNBuilders self-performed a number of scope packages, including concrete, specialties, rough carpentry, shoring support, and site support services. We engineered a dewatering system in order to build the structure’s foundation below Lake Union’s water table and coordinated foundation work with the adjacent building to mitigate any risk during construction.
Masonry
BNBuilders performed renovation of historic Denny Hall on the University of Washington's Seattle campus. This 90,000sf structure was built in 1895 and is listed in the Washington State Heritage Register. The comprehensive historical renovation included upgrades to major building systems and a complete interior renovation. The project consisted of extensive seismic upgrades to the unreinforced masonry exterior and internal structural systems. New interior features included innovative new educational spaces, support offices and admin areas, and communal space. Additionally, the entryway atrium was re-built to mimic the original 1895 construction that had been modified in previous renovations. Denny Hall was the first building on the University of Washington’s Seattle campus.
