As CM At-Risk with a negotiated GMP, Volpatt Construction was hired in 2014 to complete the renovation of the Holy Family Church for the Diocese of Pittsburgh.
The work performed to the interior alterations for the church included the following.
The Narthex and Nave were divided by a set of vestibule doors and storefront system, and a new HVAC zone and lighting was added at the Narthex.
ADA-compliant seating zones were installed at the Nave to meet required Building Code. In the Sanctuary, the platform was demolished and replaced to make room for a larger platform and choir area with new finishes and ADA ramps and railings. The Sanctuary and Sacristy received a new full height Altar Wall consisting of wood panels and stained glass.
The Tabernacle was relocated to a central space in the new Altar Wall, while the existing Baptismal Font was relocated to the Tabernacles original location. The scope included new power, lighting and electrical work placed through the rebuilt Altar as well as new louvers for future HVAC system upgrades.
