We Make the Owner's Life Easier

This is a local team you can trust.

Our goal: an easier envelope for the GC

Every building deserves a second life. Helping building owners reinvent their assets.

In a conversion, the facade decides how many apartments a building can hold and when the job can finish. It is also the hardest package to manage. Our goal is to take it off the general contractor's plate: one team for envelope design, procurement and installation, reporting to you.

The facade is the critical path

Window and curtain wall packages carry the longest lead times on a conversion. We start design and procurement first so glass arrives when your schedule needs it.

A specialist, not another layer

Full-service firms spread themselves across every trade. We focus on the envelope and work under your contract, so you keep control of the building.

Union or non-union, one team

The same design team on every job. Utopia Construction installs where union labor is required, U-Tek Industries where it is not.
