Sachse Construction was hired by long-standing client General Dynamics to complete a series of office renovations. The project consisted of a multi-floor renovation of kitchenettes within occupied office space and updates to a 10,300-square-foot high-bay area and a 4,300-square-foot cafeteria.

The Sachse Construction team built temporary dust barriers, performed selective demolition, constructed new metal stud walls, and installed new doors, frames, hardware, millwork, sinks, flooring, food service equipment, lighting, bulkheads, and acoustic ceilings. The team also corrected existing fireproofing deficiencies and completed high- and low-voltage electrical work.

Because the space remained occupied during construction, Sachse Construction worked closely with the owner’s representative and food service staff to phase the work. This ensured that areas remained accessible to General Dynamics employees and minimized disruptions to daily operations, material staging, and workflows.

The kitchen remained operational until Phase 3, which was strategically scheduled during a two-week holiday shutdown. The team used this window to complete the bulk of the cafeteria renovation without disrupting building occupants. The high-bay renovation included selective demolition of existing shop, lab, and secure areas and the construction of a new secure workspace. Work also included installing a 38-foot engineered structural metal stud wall, footing work, structural steel, bulkheads, and new ceilings.

Upon completion, the General Dynamics team received a modernized workspace with improved flow, enhanced amenities, brand-new finishes, and upgraded life-safety systems.
