AFL-CIO
OVERVIEW
The Ohio branch of AFL-CIO (The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations) was relocating to a new suite in a 12-story office building. Lehman Daman demoed the previous tenants’ office and built AFL-CIO’s new office, consisting of large conference rooms, file rooms, and a reception area.
CHALLENGES
The project was on the 11th floor in an occupied 12-story building, requiring strict adherence to safety, site logistics, and building rules and regulations. Lehman Daman coordinated construction activities to minimize disruption to surrounding tenants.
During demolition, L/D uncovered serious mechanical issues in the building’s infrastructure. This required L/D to retrace, map and identify electrical circuits and wires in the building. Throughout these challenges, L/D communicated openly with the building owners, the building manager, the owner’s rep, and AFL-CIO to help them understand the problems and associated costs. As a building issue, the building owner covered the additional expenses.
