Description

GHS Construction was contracted to build an 18,000 SF mix-use worship + educational facility for Al-Wali foundation. Al-Wali's new facility includes a prayer hall with an elevated ceiling, classrooms, office spaces, kitchen, and custom bathrooms which include custom tiled ablution areas. All new fire and water services were pulled to the building along with complete parking lot reconstruction. The exterior includes custom arched windows which were outlined with precast stone for architectural enhancement. A dome was designed and installed which exemplified their culture. Ottoman styled minarets with bases wrapped in white marble and the tower pieces were custom designed by GHS Construction to beautify the building. We sourced, procured, and installed all these custom pieces along with the custom exterior doors from overseas!

Fun Fact

This project required intensive coordination between all trades. The elevator core was constructed prior to the owner purchasing the building, so we had to work closely with the new elevator manufacturer to ensure the new elevator fit in the existing conditions and made modifications accordingly. We fast tracked the schedule and obtained substantial completion of this building within 10 months of breaking ground.
