Overview:

Fair Oaks Hospital engaged Twin Contracting to construct a new childcare center to accommodate up to 100 children aged infant to six years – with facilities geared to the children’s varied ages.

Twin built a single-story structure of structural steel and load-bearing light-gauge framing. It consisted of a main entrance and reception area, a core administrative area and two wings.

Each wing was constructed to accommodate two different age groups, requiring:

• Two custom-designed playgrounds
• Separate age-appropriate restrooms 
• Partitioned play areas

Overview:  

Belmont T.V., an Alexandria retail business, engaged Twin Contracting to construct a new “skin” for this 1950s-era retail store and to upgrade the site. The project started in late summer – with a “must-finish” deadline of October 31, to accommodate the holiday shopping season.

We constructed a two-story tower with a metal hip roof supported by light-gauge framing, and installed security glass with an extensive EIFS finish. Our team also installed security screens, built a new shipping and receiving entry and made electrical upgrades and site improvements necessary to accommodate our work.

The new canopy provides a warm and welcoming entrance, while the new shipping and receiving entry allows a better work flow.

Overview:

Belle View employed Twin Contracting to construct a new façade for this 1950s strip shopping center. Chosen due to our attractive bid, we were asked to reprice the project after a two-year permitting delay. Through extensive value engineering, we were able to keep the original budget despite inflation and new requirements.

During the renovation, we kept all 37 stores in operation by:

• Building protective tunnels to make customer entry easy and safe
• Erecting safety barriers to protect walkways
• Holding weekly meetings with the owner and property manager, who passed critical information to the tenants

Overview:

Twin Contracting partnered with Skanska USA Building Inc. to provide Inova Alexandria Hospital a high-quality parking garage at a low price – providing the lowest bid of six major firms.

Construction included one underground floor and two above-ground levels, serviced by a glass-enclosed elevator. Each level is connected by a ramp engineered for optimal traffic flow.

The pre-cast concrete garage was erected without interrupting hospital activity at the site – in the middle of two parking lots at the hospital’s rear entrance, next to the central power plant and adjacent to the loading dock.

We completed the project within the 9-month schedule, providing both cost savings and a hassle-free process.

Overview:

Twin Contracting was chosen by Inova Health System, a long-term client, to construct a two-story medical office building.

Our team worked with Fairfax County officials to resolve permitting delays; as construction began, we also overcame poor soil conditions to ensure a solid foundation.

We constructed a brick building in a modified Georgian style with bar joist and metal pan floor construction. Some of the elements were:

• Lobby and two staircases
• Gear-driven elevator
• Fire alarms with voice communications for the handicapped
• Full sprinkler system

Twin also constructed a parking lot for 35 cars and made improvements to nearby public roads for easy access.

Once construction was complete, we completed tenant buildouts for multiple practices: waiting rooms, reception desks and business offices, exam rooms, doctors’ offices and support areas.
