Historic building renovations require everyone involved to perform their work with the utmost care to prevent damage to these precious structures. That’s why stakeholders needing crane services in Jacksonville, Florida should turn to a company with deep expertise in industrial crane & rigging operations.
Opting for a less-experienced firm can put a historic building at risk. On the other hand, entrusting the crane and rigging work to a company with a long track record of success can put everyone’s mind at ease and help ensure a successful outcome.
Historic Renovation Challenges
Facility and project managers in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia — areas with rich architectural histories — understand what’s at stake when renovating iconic buildings. They know there are many challenges for the teams involved, including:
- The lack of uniformity in historic construction methods
- The lack of original documentation or blueprints for iconic structures
- The risk of damaging the structures
- The need for Past Performance Records or similar approvals before work begins
- The need to adhere to historic preservation design guidelines
Stakeholders also understand it can be difficult to find a crane and rigging company to help them overcome these challenges. In particular, it’s hard to identify a firm capable of completing large-scale projects on time, within budget, and safely.
That’s why Coker is the go-to crane and rigging provider for historic renovation projects in Jacksonville and statewide.
