PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK
Designed and Installed Mezzanine
The client contacted C&SS with a concept design to construct an upper-level catwalk/mezzanine structure to construct a mezzanine addition to their newest location in Alhambra, CA. After viewing concept designs and the physical site, C&SS also examined building details, including overhead clearances, sprinkler system design, fire access, egress and accessibility requirements for the disabled, and any other potential challenges that would lead to delayed business operations or incur additional costs.
In addition to design, C&SS supplied the necessary equipment, including a forklift, the entire job crew, all the required materials, equipment rentals, safety checks, hazard notice displays, and end-of-project construction debris removal.
