Malkin Construction honored by Associated Builders and Contractors - Conn.

The Connecticut chapter of the Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. (ABC) has honored Malkin Construction with an Excellence in Construction Award to be presented on January 26th at the chapter's annual ceremony for the recently completed Stratfield Elementary School project. "Our entire organization and dedicated project team did an exemplary job" said Timothy Yahn, president of Malkin Const. "We met two years of extremely tight deadlines and we overcame remarkable hurdles - including ensuring that the school could continue classes without interruption." "I can't imagine a project that better showcases Malkin Construction's range of abilities. We're very honored to be recognized by the ABC." The $17.3 million, ten-phase project began in the summer of 2009. By the start of the 2010 school year, Malkin Const. was able to add eight new classrooms, renovate all of the eastern classrooms and build another addition to house the school's administrators. With school in session, the team renovated all of the southern classrooms between November 2010 and July 2011. Finally, in accordance with its original projected completion date of September 2011, Malkin Construction spent the summer of 2011 renovating the gym, cafeteria, kitchen, media center and the older administrative area; installing a bus canopy and courtyard; and finalizing all remaining site work. Design work on the project was overseen by Silver/Petrucelli + Associates, an architectural, engineering and interior design collective headquartered in Hamden, Conn. Based in Stamford, Malkin Construction is a full-service general contractor and construction manager. The firm specializes in commercial work, including commercial interiors, building rehab, hospital, retail, institutional and ground-up construction.
