Tips for Construction in Occupied Spaces

Roherty: “Part of our DNA is understanding that construction is not the most important thing in the world—what the client’s doing is the most important thing in the world.”

SAN DIEGO—Strong communication and advance planning in order to keep everyone safe and business uncompromised are key to completing construction projects in occupied spaces successfully, Pacific Building Group’s president Jim Roherty tells GlobeSt.com. The firm recently completed five new construction projects spanning more than 250,000 square feet countywide, including Frontera Business Park in Chula Vista, General Atomics Building A21 in Poway, Lite Machines in Carlsbad, NXP Semiconductors in Sorrento Valley and Pulse Electronics in Rancho Bernardo.

“We completed these projects in occupied environments with serious security considerations and without interrupting the workflow of our clients,” Roherty said in a prepared statement. He added that PBG’s clients continued with business as usual and maintained productivity during the construction.
