Southern California Office Update 23
It’s a wrap
1550 Euclid Street, Santa Monica
Work scope for the 34,000 square foot mixed use office building included interior and exterior drywall,
framing and plaster. For the complex entry stairs, Construction Modeling provided 3D designs
to guarantee radiuses were achieved to meet the architect’s intent. Prefabricated metal framing
with stunning veneer plaster finish on the walls and ceilings grab visitors’ attention.
The Parks (500 Broadway), Santa Monica
Four 7-story apartment towers featured intricate plaster and paneling work, exterior framing, EIFS
and corrugated fiber cement panels. Entrances and lobbies showcased geometric plaster ceilings
with more than 100 prefabricated framed triangles installed to exact precision. Sourced from Great
Britain, unique black corrugated fiber cement exterior panels added to the vibe of the funky, angular
buildings.
Something to celebrate
Recent college graduates Alex Herrera and Alonso Romero were hired into the Rotational Leadership
Program as entry level project engineers. The one-year program launches them into the industry
working in the Estimating, Operations and Construction Design departments.
