ZVI converted an existing 7,500 square foot warehouse into a state-of-the-art custom bakery and café.  Forge Bakery was a design-build project – we worked directly with the client to craft the space to meet their specific needs.

Forge features an industrial look with exposed ceilings and polished concrete floor.  We integrated baking equipment, including an Italian oven, into a custom mechanical system and installed all new plumbing and electrical systems.

This $1.5 million complete interior and exterior renovation of a 7,000 SF abandoned garage included new roofing, windows, storefront entry systems, HVAC, Electrical and Fire Alarm to create a new Behavioral Health Services facility in 16 weeks.

ZVI Construction, LLC. and South Middlesex Opportunity Council (SMOC) partnered for another project and recently completed the transformation of the 28,000 square foot Suburban Athletic Club into the new Framingham Community & Cultural Center.

The 5-month, fast-paced project was a complete interior and exterior renovation of the existing “Butler Building” and included the addition of an elevator, the addition of a sprinkler system, the addition of 10 new bathrooms and all new MEP/FA systems including a 30 ton RTU.

The project will provide educational, community, recreational and cultural benefits to the residents of Framingham. The project was completed on-time and on budget during the COVID pandemic and ZVI Construction was honored to be part of such a fantastic team of professionals. Our sincere thanks to SMOC, Davis Square Architects, Waypoint KLA, the project’s Subcontractors and the City of Framingham.

ZVI’s Partnership with Boston University’s Facilities Department is ongoing and flourishing. This Project was predominantly an HVAC Controls upgrade to the Agganis Arena and Boston University Recreation Center that included over 1300 HVAC terminal boxes, new 30 ton RTU VFDs, glycol system improvements, new graphics and advanced BMS integration.

This was the largest utility assisted project in 2018-2019 and was completed in fully occupied spaces. BU has embarked upon and will continue with their energy conservation initiatives.

The largest single component of the first historic interior restoration project was the installation of a full sprinkler system. The new system was cleverly installed throughout almost every nook and cranny of the building, hiding the piping as much as possible, all while meeting fire department requirements. In some instances, the installers had to crawl through holes smaller than 18 square inches to access locations in the attic, which had not held a person in over 85 years. The project was performed under the supervision of the MAAB, the Beacon Hill Architectural Commission (affiliated with the Massachusetts Historical Society), and the building is one of America’s Historic Treasures.

ZVI has again partnered with the Vilna Shul to undertake the $2,500,000 historical renovation of the building. We are currently excavating the existing basement to convert it to an office / meeting room for community use. The work involves under-pinning, a geotechnical survey & monitoring, historical renovations, new MEP systems inclusive of a new fire alarm and fire protection. This Project is on- budget and on-schedule in the heart of Beacon Hill.

The Chabad House of Greater Boston, located in Boston’s Kenmore Square neighborhood, was built in 1898 by George Russell Shaw and Henry S. Hunnewell as a home for Thomas Jefferson Coolidge.

ZVI collaborated with the Chabad in the Spring of 2021 to complete structural improvements to the building’s failing slab, a new egress to ensure life safety, the addition of an ADA accessible entrance and bathroom, repointing of the Beacon side of the building, new HVAC system, new light fixtures, the renovation of 9 bathrooms, and new finishes throughout. ZVI spent the latter half of the project working in an occupied space and coordinating work between the Jewish High Holidays.
