The building is four stories with a basement and a penthouse open-air area. Watchdog came onboard when the project was underway and began overseeing the overall project schedule and budget. Our team led extensive value engineering exercises to reduce the project budget by $2 million without compromising scope or design intent. The skeleton of the building was seismically retrofitted to adhere to current code standards. These upgrades had the potential to impact the construction schedule and the ability to delay obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy.

While the landlord managed these upgrades, Watchdog thoroughly investigated the scope of this work and ensured that it was in line with the project schedule and continued to monitor this work throughout the project. The design of the new space is entirely open concept. There is not one private office in the entire design. As a result, there is a heavy concentration of conference and meeting spaces throughout the headquarters. Honey had approximately 250 employees upon occupancy and can grow to roughly 600 employees in this building.
