A case study in setting new benchmarks in commercial real estate

The Delmarva District Office Renovation & Site Development transformed both an existing office and the site around it, with REMS managing the $9.0 million project from start to finish. The scope included an 8,000 square foot full interior renovation, a 2,000 square foot building addition, and a 5-acre site development for a new secure gate entrance, along with new connections to city water and sewer lines to bring the facility up to modern infrastructure standards.

Managing a project with this many moving parts required careful planning and coordination. REMS oversaw two general contractors, six design teams, and eight owner vendors, keeping every party aligned throughout construction. To maintain uninterrupted operations, the team also managed the installation of 7,000 square feet of office trailers to house storm room operations and employee swing space during the renovation.

By identifying potential issues early and addressing them quickly, the REMS team minimized disruptions and avoided costly change orders, even while managing multiple contractors and design teams at once. The result was a modernized facility with enhanced security and infrastructure, completed $600,000 under budget and two months ahead of schedule.
