Scope Of Work
In 2006, Rob Cernak, a partner of CRC Restaurants, Inc approached A. R. Marani, Inc. to construct a seafood restaurant in the secure area of BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport. In a continued partnership, A. R. Marani was again chosen in 2016 to perform the full renovation for their lease renewal. For this refurbish, we were involved before the 30% design submission producing the conceptual cost estimate and remained part of the permit process working closely with the architect and MEP consultant on the drawings to maintain this project budget. The restaurant was closed for the duration of the renovation. The entire public side (front of the house) was demolished back to the stud framing. Only the HVAC system and perimeter ornamental railings were left intact. The kitchen side (back of the house) was partially demolished to accommodate new and improved cooking equipment. The 2,940 SF renovation also added a 360 SF side patio expansion to increase the overall seating by 19. With proper pre-planning during the design phase our cost effective approach to reuse each section of ornamental railing and produce additional panels for the added patio to ensure the budget wan properly managed for new equipment, security grilles, lighting, casework and finishes . We worked around the schedules of Southwest’s operations in ceilings of the office areas below the restaurant to replace each floor sink and change the existing ductile iron to PVC to eliminate the repairs the owner was experiencing due to corrosion. The Project was completed within the ten week construction schedule and under budget. BWI Tenant Operation , Air Mall, stated,…”another beautiful unit opened on the DE connector. A great build out completed by A. R. Marani, Inc.”
