Avant Volunteers
Avant’s tagline, Collaborative Construction, reflects how much the success of a project depends on everyone involved. From the developer to the designer, the architect to the engineer, so much work happens before construction even begins.
Halfway There: When a House Starts Feeling Like a Home Again
There is a moment in every project when things shift. The chaos of demolition is long gone. The uncertainty of structural tie-ins is behind you. The framing is up, inspections are passed, and the house no longer feels fragile.
What the House Left Behind
We came to Eutaw Place to build. New framing. New spaces. A new chapter for an old house. But before the new began, the house had a few things it wanted to say.
Repurposing Lumber from a 1930 Riverside Warehouse
It was probably the early summer of 2023 and we had been contacted by a group that owned several buildings in the Riverside warehouse district of Jacksonville. This particular building was a 1930 elongated structure of 22,000 square feet with wood trusses and concrete block walls and a stucco exterior.
Green Building and Sustainability
As a construction company we value green building and sustainable practices. This ties into Avant’s values as we focus on historic restoration and adaptive reuse.
