Headquartered in Chesapeake, Sumitomo Drive Technologies operates from a 200,000 square foot facility and employs around 200 skilled workers.

The shop breakroom was a retrofit, involving the complete demolition and reconstruction of the existing space to create a modernized, energy efficient environment to meet contemporary standards and enhance functionality. It involved the demolition of existing ceiling structures, followed by the installation of a new ceiling system complete with modern lighting fixtures and updated sprinkler heads. All flooring was removed to make way for the installation of durable and aesthetically pleasing Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT). A soffit was constructed, and all walls were meticulously painted to enhance architectural appeal and rejuvenate the visual appeal. Furthermore, brand-new cabinetry, including a kitchen island with solid surface countertops, was installed to enhance storage capacity and workspace functionality within the renovated area.
This project was successfully completed within 12 weeks, ensuring safety and cleanliness throughout. This project had a significant positive impact on Sumitomo. By renovating their shop breakroom, we provided Sumitomo employees with a modernized and comfortable space to relax and recharge during their workday. The improved breakroom not only enhances employee satisfaction and morale but also contributes to productivity and overall well-being. Additionally, our commitment to quality and client satisfaction fosters a strong partnership with Sumitomo, laying the foundation for future collaborations and mutual success. Overall, the project positively impacted Sumitomo by creating a better working environment for their employees and strengthening our relationship as trusted partners.
The project successfully met its objectives through careful planning, coordination, and client-focused execution. Despite the challenges posed by the holiday season, a well-devised construction schedule ensured efficient progress while respecting the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year holidays. Proactive measures were taken pre-construction to protect Sumitomo's manufacturing equipment, including affixing Ram Board to the existing shop corridor flooring. Throughout the project, frequent site inspections were conducted to promptly address any safety concerns and maintain a clean and safe working environment. This collaborative approach, combined with effective communication and adherence to safety protocols, fostered trust and rapport with Sumitomo, resulting in a successful outcome that met their needs and expectations.
