Offices at Atlantic Station (Confidential Client)

A leading global technology company needed sixteen floors and 500,000 square feet of world-class office space built to exacting standards. The project’s scope was massive and fast-paced, requiring 58-hour work weeks over the course of a year. Marek faced several challenges: managing pandemic-related disruptions, supply chain delays, and the installation of complex specialty ceiling systems, all while maintaining flawless safety and quality. With multiple trades sharing tight work areas, the stakes were high and coordination was critical.

MAREK’s leadership and project management teams developed a proactive plan built around three pillars: safety, innovation, and communication. They implemented rigorous preconstruction planning to anticipate potential bottlenecks, trained crews on new materials and installation methods, and held consistent scheduling meetings with the general contractor and design team. Every detail, from material logistics to crew rotation, was designed to keep the project on track without compromising safety or craftsmanship.

To meet the demanding schedule, MAREK combined ingenuity with precision. Crews used the PanelMax machine to prefabricate intricate drywall forms and customized the process with a creative clamp and Unistrut setup for faster output. The MAREK warehouse became a hands-on training hub where crews refined installation techniques for Armstrong’s ACOUSTIBuilt Acoustical Ceiling System. Full-time Safety Advisors monitored daily operations, ensuring that every worker stayed protected while maintaining peak performance.

The project was completed on time and without a single lost-time accident. MAREK’s teamwork, innovation, and commitment to excellence not only met but exceeded client expectations. The general contractor recognized MAREK’s efforts with a formal letter of commendation, citing outstanding collaboration, quality, and diversity engagement. In the end, MAREK delivered a space that reflects the client’s global reputation for innovation, safely, skillfully, and on schedule.
