Project
A case study in craftsmanship and putting a stalled historic restoration back on track
As the Latvian government’s owner’s representative, REMS is guiding the restoration of a 1902 historic building in Washington, D.C., that has served the Latvian government for 25 years. After a previous restoration effort stopped in 2020, we were selected to reassess its progress and bring on a new contractor to finish the work. Procurement rules prevented the Embassy from hiring an architect separately from a contractor, and no contractor would bid without a design. Our in-house architect drafted a CSI specification book and preliminary schematics, making it possible to bid the work as design-build. Ongoing work includes structural repairs, restoration of decorative woodwork damaged in prior construction, updated MEP and network connections, permit renewal, and full commissioning.
