Suffolk County High Rise Courthouse

OVERVIEW

The Suffolk County High Rise Courthouse is a 26-story, high rise building that was built in the 1950's. W.T. Rich Company served as General Contractor on this important project, which consisted of extensive renovation work for an existing, operating public courthouse. The project included a complete gut renovation and rebuilding of the entire seventh floor detention facility and associated detention and security equipment. The scope of work also included: major upgrades and replacement of mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems; new security system; new fire protection system; new entranceway; selective site work; window replacement; elevator upgrades; and extensive general interior upgrades including courtroom renovations, new millwork, new office and space configurations, and new interior finishes.

W.T. Rich was responsible for all aspects of the construction process. This included the administrative and technical management of over 40 subcontractors, including 14 Filed Sub-bid subcontractors. In addition to the oversight, direction, sequencing and management of all construction activities, W.T. Rich was responsible for CPM scheduling, quality assurance and control, safety, submittals, RFI's, change order pricing and management, MEP coordination and MEP commissioning. Due to the fact the building was partially occupied, we also were required to manage and respond to end user group needs and requests throughout the project.
