Vantage Bldrs. completes 20,000 s/f interior renovation and build-out for Jacobs Engineering at 343 Congress St.

Vantage Builders completed a complete gut and build-out to Jacob Engineering's 20,000 s/f space at 343 Congress St. Vantage also recently completed a major renovation for Edwards and Kelcey, which is now owned by Jacobs. Given a tight time frame and working within a multi-tenanted building, this project required working a lot of 'off' hours and coordinating daily with the landlord, Berkeley Investments. Close collaboration with the Jacobs Engineering design team ensured the renovations were completed on time and on budget. Having completed the initial renovations for American Tower in Woburn, Vantage Bldrs. was hired to renovate the lobby and common areas. Given an 8-week schedule Vantage Bldrs. completed the renovation on time while staging the job to allow employees to work throughout the renovations. Vantage Builders offers contracting services to corporations, developers, property managers, retailers and private institutions throughout New England. Our standard construction services include general contracting and construction management. More comprehensive services include design/build and value engineering. In managing and building scores of commercial projects, we've found that versatility is key to our customers' success. Our experience includes specialized tenant build-outs, standard property improvements, base building work and construction from the ground up.
