Project: Sunshine Rentals Reconstruction Orlando, Florida
KTS provided the initial response following Hurricane Charlie to help the owners by demolishing their building, damaged beyond repair by the hurricanes. We secured the Architect, Structural Engineer and Civil Engineer to provide the permit and construction documents and then met with the municipal officials to iron out all problems with the reconstruction. The building was completely redesigned in 3 months and rebuilt in 4 months, allowing the owners to open their doors 1 day before the anniversary of the carnage of the previous year’s hurricane season of 2004. The building was designed and built to take advantage of energy efficiencies such as passive lighting, spray insulation, HVAC unit efficiencies and low usage interior Lighting. We also provided remedies to issues such as storm water drainage by introducing a pervious concrete design for the parking lot, allowing reductions in storm water retention on the site.
