Racanelli Construction Co. serves as GC for $5.1 million project

East Setauket, NY Racanelli Construction Company, Inc., a leading construction management, general contractor and design/build resource for commercial, industrial, retail, medical, pre-engineered and multi-unit residential projects, completed a new clinical and ambulatory surgical center for Vinayak Ganapati LLC. Racanelli served as general  contractor in the construction of the 9,000 s/f, single-story building with occupied basement. The owner’s representative was the Perfume Center of America, Inc.

The $5.1 million project involved demolition, drainage, a complete interior fit-out with mechanical, electrical and plumbing sitework. The building exterior features an exterior insulation finishing system (EIFS), Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) roofing, Alucobond panels and new LED site lighting. The interior was finished with ceramic tile, vinyl composite tile (VCT), paint and wallpaper. The project also included installation of a heating, ventilating and air conditioning system, as well as the routing of medical gas in the building. The ventilating and air conditioning system is mechanical.

In this project, Racanelli Construction had to address various challenges dealing with the delivery of materials in a timely manner due to pandemic-related supply chain problems. The routing of medical gas, getting a CO₂ pump into the basement of the existing facility, and the removal of an existing elevator and installation of a new elevator all proved to be challenging.

Overseeing the project was project executive Michael Racanelli, project supervisor Chris Kusche, project manager Nelly Fuentes and project administrator Chenoa Justinvil.
