Forward Corporation – Lumberjack Lodge

 

Join us as we discuss our recent commercial Design/Build renovation with Forward Corporation. We were chosen to bring new life to the Lumber Jack Lodge in West Branch, a historic hotel with deep roots in the community. This renovation encompassed 42,000 square feet, including the complete overhaul of 80 guest rooms, public restrooms, the pool atrium, lobby, and a modern update to the exterior facade. One of the standout aspects of this project was the tight construction schedule. With the hotel’s continued operations, we had to ensure that portions of the guest rooms remained available throughout the renovation to accommodate holiday and special event bookings. We embraced the challenge by employing a Design/Build approach—developing the design concurrently with the construction, without relying on formal pre-established drawings or bids. This approach allowed for flexibility and adaptability, ensuring the project’s success despite the ever-evolving nature of the work.

LaBerge Dental Lab

In this video, we interview Rob LaBerge, owner of LaBerge Dental Lab and we discuss their recent renovations. This project has been very exciting to be a part of and we are thrilled to see their team utilize this beautiful, new space!

Rob contacted us to renovate their dental lab’s existing space and turn it into a more-functional workspace for their small team.

Electrical, plumbing, painting, concrete polishing, and custom millwork (with their signature lime green brand) were all included in this project. Our team was able to transform a space, that once had an inefficient layout that worked against their business needs, to a beautiful, logical floorplan to accommodate their dental lab renovation, team and workstations.
