Red Commercial Flooring

Design by: EAPC

Tucson, Arizona

Completed: 10/5/23

Red Commercial once again teamed up with one of its amazing partners Kitchell Contractors on a project that was out of town and going to be a challenge for everyone involved with an escalated timeline for completion. About a 2-hour drive east of Phoenix we were faced with one of the worst subfloors we have seen, we were challenged with merging two existing buildings together built decades apart. 30,000sf of existing concrete that was 1/4″, 1″, 2″, and 3″ in height differences, multiple recessed areas up to 2″ deep filled with metal plates from existing MRI rooms that were nonremovable. Not to mention this was all pre-construction so it had to be perfect and ready for framing in the following week. 2160 bags of Sika, 15 of our own in-house installers we were able to complete this floor prep in just one week, after framing and drywall we were able once again to ramp up our crew Luzania Installation team (which knocked it out of the park) and get this amazing, finished floor complete with critical deadlines for the Hospital. We at Red Commercial are extremely Thankful for this opportunity to show the quality and craftsmanship of our crews which take pride in the work they perform daily.
