Vantage Builders completes new office space for RapidMiner on behalf of the owner, Griffith Properties, LLC

Vantage Builders, Inc., a general contracting and construction firm based in Waltham, has completed construction of a new office setting for RapidMiner at 10 Fawcett St. Hired by building ownership, Griffith Properties, Vantage completed the project in three weeks. Following plans from architect Leslie Saul & Associates, Vantage Builders transformed the space with bright colors, cool furniture, an efficient layout and features to boost productivity. The office has new paint and carpeting, cork flooring, and wood baseboards. IKEA cabinets were installed to allow for better office organization. Conference rooms and some offices feature IdeaPaint, a whiteboard paint that transforms walls into a dry-erase writing surface, boosting collaboration. The 3,400 s/f renovation project cost was $100,000. "RapidMiner is going through a very high period of growth, with sales having more than tripled year-over-year," said RapidMiner's Andrew Dinsmore, who was recently named a "CFO of the Year" by the Boston Business Journal. "Our new office space will enable the teamwork and high level of client focus that has helped make RapidMiner such a success in the area of predictive analytics." "RapidMiner's new office space has a very positive feel to it, one that perfectly matches the leading-edge, exciting work that they are doing," said Denise Regan, senior project manager, Vantage Builders. "It's one of the best examples we've seen of an office really reflecting the tenant." Vantage Builders offers contracting services to corporations, developers, property managers, retailers and private institutions throughout New England.
