We are wrapping up a major capital improvements program for the Northern California Carpenters Regional Council (NCCRC) headquarters in Oakland, California. It’s great to see to see the finishing touches come together!

The NCCRC’s union members represent more than 38,000 carpenters, pile drivers, millwrights, cabinet makers, drywallers and workers in associated trades. Our work began with a study of the building envelope and mechanical and electrical systems for the 16-year-old facility, and evolved into the design of significant interior, exterior and site improvements, for which we prepared construction documents and provided construction administration services.

We performed the work in phases to facilitate the continuous full occupation of the facility during improvements, including during COVID stay-at-home orders, due to the essential classification of the NCCRC and its union members.
