When David arrived to inspect the building, it had been condemned by city building inspectors. David and his teamimmediately began implementing emergency procedures to stabilize the building and mitigate the loss by protecting interior surfaces from incurring further damage.Working with the diocese, the insurance carrier, as well as the historic foundation, city building officials, and the cathedral’s architect, David developed a scope of work to return the cathedral to an appropriate pre-loss state, especially from the perspective of historic details and materials. Over the next fifteen months David performed a total restoration of the space.
Working closely with the architect we managed a task driven schedule, we were able to fast track the restoration process and complete millions of dollars of work in less than 15 months.
