New construction and retrofit work
Retrofit. Work in an existing building is phased by zone, floor, or bay so the rest of the building keeps operating.
New construction. Insulation is installed from the approved drawings and specification, after rough-in inspection and before the assembly is closed. See commercial new construction insulation.
Working around operations
Work in a building that stays open is phased around how it runs.
- Occupied, conditioned buildings. Offices, clinics, and schools stay in use, so work is phased floor by floor, with containment around each area and after-hours shifts where needed.
- Rated unit separations. Walls and floors between units are built to the tested fire and sound assembly on the drawings, not to a substitute fill.
What an estimate needs
Send what you have. Drawings and the specification speed up a new-construction takeoff; photos help on an existing building.
- The project address
- Building type, approximate square footage, and clear height
- Tenant or department hours, and whether after-hours work is needed
- The rated wall and floor assemblies shown on the drawings
- Drawings and the specification on new work, or photos of the existing assembly
Questions about Durham projects
How do I request a commercial insulation takeoff or bid in Durham, NC?+
Email the architectural drawings and the Division 07 specification for new work, or the building dimensions and photos for an existing building, to info@insulationcompany.net, or start with the estimate form or a call.
Can your crews insulate an occupied office or healthcare building in Durham while it stays open?+
Often. Whether a building can stay open depends on its layout and the work involved, and the phasing is agreed with your facility team before work starts.
What insulation systems do you install for commercial and metal buildings in Durham County?+
Closed-cell and open-cell spray foam, metal building blanket and liner systems, continuous board and cavity insulation in walls, fiberglass batt in framed and rated assemblies, cellulose in existing cavities, and air sealing at openings and penetrations.
Do you work with general contractors on new commercial construction in Durham?+
Yes. On new construction we usually work through the general contractor and fit into the trade sequence. Submittals and product data are provided when the specification calls for them, and proposals include a W-9, state contractor licensing details, and a Certificate of Insurance (COI).
