Commercial Construction

Sub-standard soil conditions threatened the development of this picturesque site in a prime location. Silver Lakes Professional Center, a 40,000 sq. ft. multi-tenant office building was made possible by J.R. Ernest Construction—utilizing soil stabilization and a post-tensioned concrete slab foundation.

The cost-effective design and construction methods stabilized the existing soil—reducing excavation costs and eliminated the need to import fill.

In addition to resisting the soil movement, the post-tensioned slab eliminated the need for caissons, minimized the potential for cracking, and improved the integrity of the foundation under load conditions.

This reinforced masonry building is home to Mitchell Aircraft. The two-story corporate headquarters facility was designed to accommodate future expansion and preserve capital investment. Several office and warehouse additions have been completed in response to business growth.

The 'stepped' facade provides additional natural lighting while the operable casement windows maximize the natural ventilation—creating a refreshing working environment.
