Project Challenges

The Columbus Bar Association had a firm move-in date but faced long material lead times, specifically for door frames and lighting. Lehman Daman quickly found a new supplier and kept the project moving forward. Additionally, Lehman Daman recommended a material substitution for the door frames and expedited the order for timely installation. With lighting backordered, Lehman Daman used temporary fixtures.

Lehman Daman was also hired to complete the second phase of the project, consisting of additional private offices and a media/production studio for members to utilize.
