What we do
New construction and interior fit-outs for light and medium manufacturing. We coordinate structural steel, 3-phase electrical, compressed air lines, floor drains, and overhead crane runway infrastructure.
Retrofit aging industrial spaces to meet current NY State code, ADA requirements, and OSHA standards — including electrical panel upgrades, industrial ventilation, and structural reinforcement.
Walk-in coolers, blast freezers, and food-grade floor systems with seamless epoxy coating, floor drains, and USDA-compliant wall and ceiling panels.
Erection and finishing of pre-engineered steel buildings for storage, fleet maintenance, and light assembly — including insulation, interior fit-out, and utility rough-ins.
Industrial-grade concrete slabs (4,000–5,000 PSI), saw-cut control joints, rebar grid, and post-tension systems for facilities with heavy forklift and rack loads.
We manage electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and fire suppression contractors under a single unified schedule — no gap delays, no punch-list disputes between trades.

Industrial construction in Albany — what’s different here.
Albany’s industrial stock includes a significant amount of older manufacturing and warehouse space — brick construction, original electrical, and layouts that predate modern industrial requirements.
We have been working in this environment long enough to know where the surprises live. Older industrial buildings in Albany, Menands, Troy, and Schenectady frequently have undersized electrical service, inadequate floor load capacity, and HVAC systems that cannot be extended without replacement.
Finding these things before the permit is filed saves money. Finding them mid-project costs more than the fix.
Before you call
Yes. We regularly phase construction to maintain partial operations — isolating work zones with temporary partitions and scheduling noisy or disruptive work during off-hours or weekends. Phasing adds cost and we tell you how much before you decide.
Yes. We pull all building permits and coordinate inspections with the local authority having jurisdiction, including Albany’s Division of Buildings and Inspection. Permits are included in every project scope.
We typically take on industrial projects starting at $75,000. Below that threshold, permitting and coordination overhead makes it difficult to deliver at our standard.
Yes — every commercial estimate includes a complimentary Matterport 3D scan and as-built floor plan of your existing space. This gives you accurate baseline documentation and helps us price precisely.
Yes. The most expensive problems are decided before construction starts. A walkthrough and scan cost nothing and tell you whether the space can economically become what you have in mind — before you are committed.
Yes. We complete industrial projects throughout Albany, Rensselaer, Schenectady, and Saratoga Counties — no travel surcharge within our standard service area.
We serve Albany and 30+ surrounding towns.
